when i was in middle school about 8 years ago there was a girl named Unique. & she was voted most unique...which was hilarious because people obv. only did it because of her name.

i also went to school with a guy whose sister was named Sparkles.

i actually love the name Providence though! i've wanted to use it, but now i don't think i would.

Boat, Beatiphul and Virgin are terrible though. really, really terrible. Virgin...wtf?

Confession is really hilarious as well.

I like Blade.

I like Alaska, although I would NEVER use it.


The others are ridiculous (except for Wednesday, which a ton of ppl like), and I especially like He.

"These are my children, He and She."

except He is a girl and She would have to be the boy lol.

I like alaska, but probably because one of my favorite books is looking for alaska.

I like Story (especially after seeing Lady in the Water). I wouldn't name my daughter that, but I still like it. And Dynasty? What the hell? Sin?

I know a girl named Treasure. I think it's retarded. And Unique is getting more and more popular for such a stupid name.

*shakes head* I only like Story, maybe Stalin. Yuck.

I think i like Blade & Brando.
I want to like chaos!!

[cherryrider.livejournal.com]

You're not alone, but I think naming a child Chaos would create chaos.

[peach-rose-girl.livejournal.com]

I have a friend named Brandon and everyone calls him Brando.

As-Matik?? does he have asthma ?

[lostrocket.livejournal.com]

BOAT!

That's it. The perfect name for my unborn, hypothetical daughter.

Boat Brody.

Oh hell yes ;)

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

this combo makes me think of Jaws. lol

[hotmaildt.livejournal.com]

I actually REALLY like the name Alaska. Its the only state name I can see as a persons name.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

That's not the first Tequilla I've seen, sadly. Spelled like that and everything.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

these are all pretty horrific for their own special reasons.

tolerable: chevy, story, alaska, and stallone (if it werent for the connotation with that one, id like it)
