The woman I babysit for was just in Nashville on business and she and her husband took a side trip to Memphis while they were down there. Well, she told me they saw this family with 3 kids... ready for this? The boys' names were Presley and Aaron and the girl's name was Graceland. Poor kids, especially the daughter. =\ It's so sad when people force their obsessions on their children. LOL...

Oooh...that's not very good. How embarassing for the kids. Personally, I think those names are great together for pets, not kids. Poor kids!

Presley fine.. okay it works.
But Graceland??
She should have just gone with Gracelynn.

I know its not the same but atleast its not embarassing.

I think Grace would have sufficed. Otherwise, I like the sibset.

I believe names that parents choose should reflect their relationship, their lives, their passions, themselves. Yeah, it's the kid's name, but they can't choose and it's your kid, and your life, and they are coming to you at a very specific moment in your life (and/or life together) - wherever that may be. I think that the names should be loved, should reflect love.

I think it's cute, except for Graceland. I probably would have gone with Grace.

Aaron on its own. Ok. Presley on its own. I can live with that. Graceland. Never. All 3 together? just plain awful.
