why do adults name they kids weird names

[gizmo42]

I guess they just want to be different

[KSimonetti92]

Many "weird" names have deep meanings behind them and the parents don't want to slap a generic name on their kid. My son's name is Lucian; it means "the guiding light". Your name is the title of your legacy. It shouldn't be boring.

My name's Buklau. Never understood..

But when it comes to names, is there really anything that really is normal?

I mean my name is Dorann and I do think that it is strange, but I really do like the fact that my parents took the names of two of my great-great-grandmothers to make the name that I bear today, Doris and Anne.

Now my children have what I thought were more "normal" names being that my daughter is Kathryn and my son is Paul, but you know there are more children that they go to school with that have unique names than classic names like they have.

Everybody wants to have the most unique name for their child.

[monnee]

They want their kids name to be unique and different from all the other common names.

Good question! I once knew a girl named Sifillus Brown. It's true!

[stretch1967]

Some of them names are out there. I would be embarassed. I cant even spell my grandaughters first name let alone pronounce it. I call her by her middle name. She loves me to death she gets mad when her mommy tries to take her away from me.

Are you suggesting that they name their child a different name since you put this in suggestions which does not have anything to do with suggesting something for Fusion Cash.

I like classic names. My name is from the Bible. Thats why it is spelled Rebekah and not Rebecca. Also, my middle name is Faye which is the name my grandmother went by and her middle name. My daughter Ruby Faye is named after her great aunt Ruby and the birth stone color of my Uncle Rodney who passed on from this life. She got the middle name Faye in honor of my grandmother and my middle name and because I told my grandmother I would name her that.

It's all about being unique, however some just take it way too far outside the box. I personally like unisex names and I like to use last names as first names. It may be weird to some but I think it's unique but not totally weird.

Eh, there's a big difference in unusual/unique and just plain stupid. I didn't want my kids to have names you hear everyday but not so out there that people couldn't spell or pronounce them. Their names are Raina, River and Romma

[ssliva67]

So people will remember them.

I ask my daughter will I ever be able to pick up something at Disney with my grandchllds name on it, and she says, NO! Why, I have no clue, she changed her name to Rose so what do I know about naming any chlld???

[sherryinutah]

they have nothing to do best but name they kids after cars or an drank or etc.

Some people don't know they're choosing a "weird" name when they name their children.  Others might name their children based on numerology to help their children accomplish certain things in this lifetime.
