So here I am at work, realizing that I just hit "post #50" in my journal blog, but not having posted anything here. I suppose I should transplant some of my ideas from my journal to this blog...but anyway I am going to try and do better. I need to get my pictures transferred to a computer that can upload them (My laptop's health has been rapidly declining in the last few months) too so that there are some interesting things here besides my random ramblings!
Today, inspired by Kira's search for baby names, I took the suggestion of her friend and checked out nameberry.com. I love it, but there are also some seriously hilarious suggestions for baby names. I just have to list some of my favorites because I was cracking up. Gotta love working at the MTC!
For example:
(girls)
RUFINA- Does this make anyone else think of "ruffage?" Seriously when I think of this name I either picture garbage, or that big red-head girl who was a bully on my elementary school play ground.
MYSTERY- the very name illudes that you could never fully know her...
PETAL- Can you imagine if you named your other little girl Rose? You could be like "This is my beautiful, vibrant daughter Rose, and this is her sister.....Petal."
BEIGE- hope your baby is cacasian or else this could be interesting.
DORKUS- this may have been cool one hundred years ago...but it is definitely NOT cool anymore.
ANSWER- ....was there question?
HORTENSE- If you break this name into its syllabic componenets you get "whore" and "tense"- ideas you want applied to your little girl? I think not.
(boys)
CASH- Is this really how we want to capture all that is our child? I think these people were on drugs.
KING- really? I think King Fraser would be fun, but honestly humility is a virtue we should emphasize in our homes
OSBERT- This sounds like a Seseme Street name to me. Puppet child? No thank you.
BOGART- I suppose Harry Potter ruined this for me. Imagine a baby that took the form of your worst nightmare everytime you looked at it. AHHHHH
CORNELL- ...someone just couldn't leave college behind
CONGO- This child would be born for guerilla fighting. I can already see the camo wardrobe.
NEVIS- sounds like a car-rental agency
ZOPHAR- only one example of names that were just too wierd
Ok so this was just a random sampling of the hilarity on this website. They had good ideas too of course, so I would still reccomend it. And I'm sorry if any of these names were being considered by anybody. Anyway...check it out!
