Top 10 Baby Names Guaranteed to Get Your Kid Beaten Up

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-c-miller/top-10-baby-names-guarant_b_969157.html



9/20/11

The National Research Institute has just completed its annual survey of elementary and junior high school playground fights and is making public its finding of the ten names kids have who are most frequently beaten up by their classmates. If new parents care about their children's safety and well-being, they are advised to avoid naming their babies any of the following:

**** - Avoid giving your children a slang name for male or female genitalia.

GAY or GAYLORD - Would you name your child "Homosexual"?

FANNY - Please don't name your daughter after the human butt.

TUCKER - Stay away from names that obviously rhyme with curse words that could be used against your child.

WOLFGANG - Other kids don't care about your Medieval German background; to them, it's just plain strange.

ROSEPETAL HUMMINGBIRD - Your Hippy brain of spiritual wonder doesn't play with today's first graders.

HARRY - Especially if the child's last name is Cox, Beaver, or Peters.

PHINNAEUS - Even the teachers join in on the pounding of the kid with this name.

PRECIOUS - Any name that's a compliment, especially a delicate one, is practically holding up a sign saying "I dare you to hit me."

ADOLF - What's wrong -- were "Osama" and "Saddam" already taken?

The survey urges parents to exercise common sense in order to avoid playground trouble.

I don't get why people name their kids something like Precious or other off names. There was a girl at school who was named Princess and you can imagine how that went over with the other kids. Poor kid. She said she's changing her name when she gets older, and I don't blame her. lol.

Not as bad as MY name, mind you.

How'd you like to go through life being called "LMNO". "Hey LMNO... you want some PEEEE?!?" "Hey LMNO... ABCDEFGHIJK-LMNO-PQRSTUVWXYZ!!!" "What's the matter LMNO, forgot how to spell you name?!?"

Kids can be so cruel...

(Actually, my name's Carl and the rest of my name is pretty normal!)

My cousin's name is Warren.

Not too strange until you find out what his last name is... Peace.

That's right: Warren Peace

Not too sure what his middle name is. We don't really keep in touch with them. I knew him as a kid, and he's grown up and become a pilot for United Airlines. That's about all I know about him.

I am going to share a personal with you, and I probably shouldnt but here goes. Maybe barb will delete this after I post it, ya think? God forbid my son see this. But he married a woman who had a meth problem, I think some of you already know that and she has since left this world, again I think some are familiar with that as well. Well while together they had 3 girls and a boy. The eldes was named Savannah, the middle girl was Georgia (we shortened it to Gia), and the littlest one is named Storm, and the middle name is E.

So folks. We have a Storm E Savannah Georgia.... Nope, Im not kidding!

Barb please please please delete this?

Lol, this was cute.  My cousin's wife just had their first baby.  They named him Wolf.  Not wild about it, but what can you do?  I actually considered both Tucker and Phinnaeus (Phinn for short) for Ryder, but hubby nixed them.  If we are lucky to have another baby, I am stuck on Griffin for a boy and Brynn for a girl.  I love name posts in the pregnancy forums.  This was a fun read!

I went to school with a kid named Percy.  He was unquestionably the bullies favorite target at school.  And what about some of the names the stars are using...Apple?  Coco?  Moxie Crimefighter?  Blue Belle Bear (or something like that?)  yikes!!
