I like the idea of naming your child something a little bit different. But not too different so that the child gets picked on or teased in school. When I was teaching in an inner city school the kids had very different names. And sometimes the parents would spell the names so differently that if you sounded it out the name would not be pronounced the way the parent wanted it pronounced. That just doesn’t make any sense to me. Children should have names that are easy for them to learn and spell.

I was reading some “news” today about the names that celebrities give to their children and I think some of the names are simply ridiculous. Check out the story here.
