We went to our family Christmas party. My brother in law recently found out that he had a three year old son and that son sat next to me at the table. He must have eaten too much food, because he started vomiting right next to me. Other than the grossness of that, they kept repeating his full name. I guess since he is new to the family, I never really observed what they were saying.

His name is Aidan Storm.

That makes me want to puke.

I know a couple who wanted to name their baby Aidan Hunter, because the father....likes to hunt.

But they're having a girl instead, and her name will be Emma Grace. Like thats any better.

Great, Emma is #2 on the most popular American names for babies this year. And it was #1 last year. I guess their kid gets an overused name either way.

What was number one this year?

[smileygoldfish.livejournal.com]

Emily. ... Just so we can all get sick of that em sound

That was according to babynames.com
It also said that Jacob has benn the #1 boys name for like 3 yeats straight, altough I haven't heard of too many.

Thats pretty much what I was thinking. I was so mad about Aidan at first, because for the longest time my SO and I had agreed on it.

Then we realized how overused it was, and decided to scrap that idea. However, as soon as this girl became pregnant, ZOMG! Aidan became the name that she totally thought up all on her own. Though she claimed to hate it when I mentioned it ::eye roll::

Thats the exact reason that no one wanted me to name this baby Tanner, because they assumed it was because of my non-pregnant longing for tanning beds and laying out. How stupid would I be?? *laughs*

Did you name your kid Tanner because you like to tan? Ugh, I can only imagine!

There are brothers I knew in HS that were named Forrest and Hunter for the same reason of hunting parents:S

Sometimes, I just love to hear the weird/stupid things that people come up with.

I knew a sibset in high school who were named....Forrest and Kelly Green. No lie. And it figures that both of their parents were art teachers!

I like it minus the popularity.

I dont hate Aidan, I actually quite like it. However, I am usually a fan of a 'trendy' name with a 'classic' name.

Plus, Storm makes me think of Xmen and the charactor is a woman.

storm... really? wow.

I guess it was supposed to be "Aidan Scott", but two days before the birth she admitted that she had slept with another man and was worried that he was the father.

To cover her ass, she changed "Scott" to "Storm" just in case my BIL wasnt the father.

I can think of quite a few "s" names that are far better...

What I think is weird is how they insist on using his full name. That sounds super pretentious - particularly when Storm is the middle name.

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

The kid was running around frantic, puking everywhere, not listening... so they used his whole name 'aidan storm h-' out of frusteration.

My dad wanted to name me Storm (after the X-Men) and stuck with it until a few hours before I was born.

I hate it.

i quite like Aidan Storm. (but i hate the trend-fact)
I think Storm is a cool masculin name (mainly because "storm" is the dutch word for "tempest")
