names you wish you could use

[seizansha.livejournal.com]

there's a name you've always loved, a suggestion you think's adorable, or even something completely random that you're seriously considering, but there's one thing stopping you.

you last name. it just doesn't sound right together, makes you think of all the teasing your child would endure, something.

an example: my now ex-sister-in-law wanted to use Noah or Eaton for my nephew. both are good, strong names but with Bacon as his last name they just don't work. and she didn't even realize it. i'm so glad she's ex now

are there any names that you wish you could use? make you chuckle when you find one? seen any you want to smack the parent for?

I've always had 'Jayden/Jaden' as a guilty pleasure name, but I can't bring myself to ever use it. lol. to trendy.

'Cash' is another name I love, but I'm not sure I could use it.
'Elliot' as well,its a good solid name, It just doesnt suit my personality so well.

I'd love the smack the parents of a kid named 'Princess' that I know, and I'm so over these white girls I know naming there daughters 'Aaliyah' ..ugh. And anyone who names there kid 'Navayah/Naveah'

i like Jaden and Cash. you could always turn Elliot into a middle, it works well with both.

omg, i know what you mean about the white girls, it's even worse when there's not alot of African American people in the area.

Haha, see where I live its a pretty big mix of races but I guess they think its okay to name theyre blonde haired blue eyed kid a clearly 'non-white' name. lol

I think i like Cash as a middle, Elliot i like but it doesnt go with any first names i have picked out

aliyah is a hebrew word meaning ascent. it would sound weird on a jewish kid because of its association with immigration to israel, but it wouldn't be impossible either. plenty of white jews in the world. plenty of non-white jews as well.

It's funny how names are perceived differently around the world. Jayden is what we call a bogan name in Australia. Bogan being similar to white trash.

Heard a woman one day calling her kids and going "Jayden, Tameka, Jye, get your arses over here now!" Everyone just gave her a look of horror. Not sure if it was for the language or the names!

Oh, Jayden is often considered that sort of name in the US, as well. The fact that Britney Spears named her son that certainly didn't help, lol.

I don't know what part of the U.S.A. you are from, but I have never heard that the name Jayden is considered "white trash."". That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard in my life. That being said I hear it soooooooo often that I don't like it, even though my nephew is named Jayden.

Wait, why can't you name your white daughter Aaliyah?

[pirahan.livejournal.com]

This.

yeah...it's a Hebrew name

another stupid cultural stereotype. it's probably because everyone connects it to the late singer so everyone thinks is a black girl's name.

wanting to stand out's one thing, but Shaniqua in a class full of Amanda, Taylor and Jessica's is just alittle too far.

Cash is such a badass name, especially in relation to Johnny Cash.

I love Johnny Cash :)
