Lost In Xanadu Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Well my name is Kenneth Mine too. I didn't used to be a fan of it but have grown to like it. Nobody calls me anything but Kenneth and expects me to answer. No Ken or Kenny here. My siblings are Kurt, Keith and Karyn. My parents had a little theme goin... :)I have a friend, "Patrick," and you better not call him Pat... but I do all the time because we grew up together. I think his wife is the driving force behind "Patrick" as she is snooty and thinks "Pat" is too low brow or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 For second there I thought you were saying there's someone out there who called their kid "Look Who's 6". Could be a rapper name? http://saintsreport.com/forums/images/smilies/theDJsmile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had every variation from Paddy to Patty Cakes, Pad, Pey, Pat, Padricko, Patty, Patricko, Ratprick, Paddo and so on, None of these names make any difference to me. They say something about the person who uses them and how they use them, it's their own character that they reveal. I find it interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've always heard that black parents name their kids whatever happens to be sitting in the bedroom at the time the child was conceived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It seems vogue to give your kid some weird name and has been for a while now... Kanye named his kid North West...........just put a kick me sign on the poor kid. Moron. MickCould be worse. He could grow up poor and have a stupid name... :)I felt like giving Kanye a for naming his poor kid North West... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Andrew is a pretty traditional name I don't mind non traditional names but I hate it parents deliberately spell the name differently than how it is usually spelled. I saw a while back a baseball player's name was Andru instead of Andrew. Seriously, what's the point? The kid is going to go through all sorts of inconveniences growing up. Are you referring to Andruw Jones? I believe he was West Indies Dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 My mother said she wanted to name me something unusual; something that you don't hear very much. All I can figure is there were a lot of other new mothers at around the same time who felt the same way about the name Blue J. When I was growing up, I couldn't get away from them!

Fordgalaxy Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 While working as a hospital admissions clerk in a part of town that had lots of Medicaid abusing people. I saw all kinds of interesting/odd/stupid names. One little girl was named Asia, which isn't a bad name. but when I commented on it, the mom said she picked it by spinning a globe and stopping it with her finger and she was touching the word Asia. I wondered if she'd have been touching Sri Lanka would she have chosen that? The stupidest name I saw was a very common word, just not used as a name, and that was Nylon. I'm not kidding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough people call me sunny in real life, that I answer. One of the dad's on my son's baseball team is named Sonny - and I answered for him a couple of times over the years. Tough to explain to a non-board friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
