So, is this cute, stupid, or just plain selfish?

[slosurfer]

:laugh: Is that "4real"? They should be able to do what they want, even if it is dumb.

[YotaFun]

I gotta kick out of that.
4Real

That's f-in' retarded. I'm sure the folks think it's real cute and funny and all, but that kid will have to live with that his whole life. It's asinine.

My sentiments exactly.

[YotaFun]

I know exactly how that kid will feel too....

You couldn't be more on point here Cebby....I know a kid that went to high school with me named star shine, her parents were hippies obviously, also had a guy named Starbuck, something about where he was conceived. poor Kids.

That's just dumber than a bag of hammers!!! There is nothing cute, stupid, or selfish about what you name your child !! That's just going to get the kid's butt kicked every freekin day. Why would you as a parent; supposing to be loving and nurturing, name you child something so arrogant!!!

If they think so highly of the name, the law allows them to change their name legally, Why not just take the name for them selves?? :screwy: TJ

[wifesaysimadumbass]

See, there's a difference, the name comes from family, it's part of your heritage. Not some dumb idiots putting a FREAKING NUMBER in their child's name, or calling them superman. But hey, free society, better than forcing people to name their child Jon, right? (sorry to the Jon's out there, hahaha)

[Texas Jim]

Everyone's a Jon, just ask a hooker....lol TJ

[habanero]

I'm rather fond of John myself....but I may be biased as my son is the 6th in the family to hold the title. Talk about a lack of imagination. :D

Our 18 month old son is named Talan. Two weeks ago, my wife got a birth announcement from her cousin in North Dakota or something like that. They named their kid Talon.

I think its totally tacky. Its not like Bill, John, Tom, Mike etc - its totally obvious where they stole the name from!

[tacoclimber]

4real is silly. Of course, having spent some time in other cultures, it all becomes relative. People very rarely even think about the meaning of the name that they are giving to their children anymore. Chels and I thought long and hard before we named either of the boys. We wanted names that hopefully and prayerfully reflect their character. Anyway, rant off.

4Real is a little much. Of course I knew a girl named Dixie Cupp and a guy named Levi Blue Brand... :laugh:

[fustercluck]

I thought about naming my first born 'Slagathor'. It was all in fun, but why prejudice a child's future like that? Regardless of whether it is right to do so, folks will likely react negatively to such an obviously cavalier deed. Can any one of us picture ourselves in sobriety voting for candidate 4real for president.......of anything?

People who behave this way are vying for attention. They usually complain when that attention comes in any other form than the desirable. It is short sighted to believe that one can control the variety of responses. It is irresponsible to heap those reactions on another individual with no say in the matter; effectively stunting his/her potential....


My view is that shortsightedness and irresponsibility are characteristics which would be found continuous in the lives of such people. Were I saddled with such flaws, I wouldn't want it amplified and echoed for the period my child existed and beyond.

I agree that the name is stupid but I find it even funnier that the government won't allow the name. I guess it would be incompatible with all the current paperwork, etc. And why name a kid Superman when you can just name him Forreal or something like that. Like Cebby said that's just asinine.
