Crazy Names at the Ultrasound Clinic

[cozyjeans.livejournal.com]

I cannot believe I forgot to post this. Last week when we went in for our big anatomy scan, we were chatting about names with the receptionist at the imaging center. She read us a list of names that parents were planning to give their babies, all of which she would never use herself. Some of them were a little odd, but not horrible. Kix, Knox, Maverick, Jase, Oak, etc. Then there was Sirius Lee, and the one that took the cake, I’munique 2fine. No, that is not a typo, there is actually a number in this poor child’s name. I really don’t know what people are thinking.

That should be illegal.

Also, girl or boy, and when are you due? We just found out last week that we're having a second daughter! She's expected early June.

For a split second I thought, "What's wrong with Sirius Lee" then I thought, Seriously? LOL.

That was exactly my thought process. :D

I'm actually surprised you can put a number on a birth certificate legally. And I imagine that is going to cause all kinds of trouble in paperwork in the future.

On a side note, I've always disliked the name Unique. And I remember my freshman year of college, I had a class with THREE Uniques in it. (All guys, too.) I'munique is way worse than just plain Unique---although probably more rare, which I guess is the entire point of the name! ;)

Oh man, I didn't even make the connection till I read this comment! *facepalm*

I'm going to sit and hope that some of those at least are "fsck off and don't ask me again" names rather than the ones they are legally going to use. I suspect I may be very very wrong, but I can hope, can't I? :)

...2fine? there are no words.

I can just imagine her trying to register for any online website, although I suppose she would just leave out her middle name for that? Hm.

I thought it was already prohibited to use numerals in names.

Sirius Lee was something I heard joked about over Harry Potter's Sirius Black. I'm a little flabbergasted that somebody actually gave their child that name, but let me be honest...I'munique 2fine is hands down the worst name I've seen yet.

<--------The icon of my daughter smacking her Pappa Bob is pretty much what I envision that poor child will feel like doing when he/she realizes what a messed up name they were given.
