There are great first names for babies, then there are some very odd first names that parents will name a newborn. An odd name, that a couple from England, named their newborn............Lucifer. IOW, Satan's name. The parents have been ridiculed quite a bit for naming this newborn boy this, but the mother says she doesn't care what other folks think. I read the article about what her and her partner named the baby boy online.

What are your thoughts??
 
I know someone that named their child........................... Quits......
Really and truthfully, no joke, they actually named their child that..
When I asked them why they named it that, they told me after this child, they called it quits.....
C'mon now....
Poor child !!!

Oh, I agree. I was referring to "Satan," not "Quits."

I worked with a guy whose last name was "Hart." His parents named him "Bryne" (pronounced "Burn.") So when there was roll call in class, it was "Hart, Burn."

Not everyone who makes a baby is a parent.

And a boy named Sue.
Sometimes there is a reason. Not a kind one, though.
 
Back in the mid 70’s, I worked at the hop company in Idaho. It was like farm labor and we had all kinds of hippie type people there, digging up the hop plant roots , and then planting them in the new hop field.
One couple went by the names of Rock (husband) and Tree (wife), and their kids were named A and B. They were definitely into the alternative living style.
If was many years after that when i learned that our deputy sheriff ( a great guy !) used to be Rock, the hippie, back in the old days.
 
And then there are those who give girls - boy names, and boys who have girl names. Wyatt, a girl, Monroe and girl..
Over 50 years ago, the woman in my hospital room named her baby Kimberly Clark, after the kotex manufacturer. I was like what? Musk has odd kid names X for one.
@Cody Fousnough - I think that is not good name even for a dog
 
I watch legacy TV shows, and it makes me realize how many names have gone out of favor. There's a Twilight Zone episode with a female character named Iona (means dove or island.) In that same episode, Lee Marvin plays a character whose name is Connie (short for Cornelius or Conrad.) I also enjoy it when legacy family surnames are given as someone's first or middle name.

It's sad to see names that are grounded in real meaning fade away.
 
One of my childhood friends was a boy called Connie. It was short for Conard, not Conrad.

A military couple who were friends named their baby girl Honey. Meh, but ok. BUT when the birth certificate and passport came back from the consulate, every document was misspelled "Hokey". They decided they liked it. So, Hokey she stayed.

My mother got my first and middle names, alternate spellings of fairly common ones, from the obit of an old lady who lived down the road. Thus, I was named after someone we didn't even know. She wanted me to have the same initials as my dad, so it fit the bill.

That's pretty interesting regarding your name. My British mother alternated between telling me I was named after a prince, and I was named after a relative. One of my younger brothers had my father's first name and middle initial (but a different middle name.) Dunno why they waited until their 3rd son to do that.

Donald Sutherland named his son Kiefer (actually Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland.) I thought it was for the probiotic drink, so I had to check. Nope. He was named after Warren Kiefer, the director of his father's first feature film.

I mentioned Zappa naming one of his kids Dweezil. That was Frank's nickname for his wife's weird pinky toe (the lesson there is Don't do drugs, kids.) The nurse at the maternity ward argued with the mother that the nurse was not gonna write that name down, so Frank rattled off the names of some random friends. So Dweezils given name was Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa. The story goes that at age 5, the son heard the story and he insisted his name get legally changed to what his parents originally intended...Dweezil.
