Name rant

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

I moved back to the town I grew up in a few months back and I was almost releaved to see that people still name children 'normal' aka bland names. Nevertheless all of my friends are still in the big city and those children have crazy names. I guess my rant is the whole connitation that goes with the name.

Recently a girl just named her child "Sebastian". I am sure it was a handsome name before the Little Mermaid came out, but now I just think "singing crab". Before my last miscarriage, my husband and I were discussing names and "Jasmine" popped out. Again, thinking of naming my daughter that reminded me of a middle eastern princess.

Are there any names that you just LOVE but cannot use because of something like a movie character, TV show, etc?

I don't know that that would stop me. I have a son names Linus afterall.

I was going to post and say Linus is probably the only one that would give me pause.

I think it's so cool that you used it!
