When Did Kids Names Get Crazy?
September 7th 2011 20:12
Kids names are cyclical.
What works in one era invariably re-enters parenting fashionista again sometime down the track.
There's your classic conservative names, your modern unusal names, modern conservative, modern eccentric, classic outmoded, classic eccentric, classic unusual and then there's just plain weird.
There's also the classic dumbass parent who having spent at least nine months deciding on a child's name still gets it so wrong - you have to wonder what alternatives were jetisoned as part of the think tank.
So perhaps I didn't go to school with a Juniper, Skylark or Shoshone and I may never come across a Tazy, Ulani or a Seraphine - but they're out there I'm sure.
Individuality is one thing - and far be it from me to even suggest that the name Elvis was probably way out there back in the day - I still feel pity for that poor kid who is constantly asked by like minded dinosaurs to spell Aialasa, Devontae or Jamarion.
