Nice…. “Pencils” :}

People, people please just stop I would have to agree with Melissa on this one. It doesn’t matter at all where in the light u r standing. You could be an author and have it thrown at you on every book cover, or a news anchor and hear it every single day on the news (except the ones who don’t live in that state or city unless it’s Anderson Cooper…example and look who his mother is). you can be just as not so famous as everyone on this blog and you will still get name called….Hello to all the newbies or way too oldies if you didn’t get called names by someone who disliked you (or liked you ;} biginning from Kindergarten because they couldn’t find something to rhyme it with; you eventually got a name by JHS once the “GARBAGE PAIL KIDS” came out. Everyone had a name. I was called Carol Burnett, Carol Barrel nad thanks to the gabage pail kids CACTUS carol! I didn’t care and you eventually grow out of it. So let them be for now. They might feel for the child “that’s if they don’t already feel stupid” and have it secretly changed…..And like i said every gets named called. please find a name that can’t be made fun of.

A little girl in my daughters daycare is named Nash and has siblings named Louis, Shelby, and a new baby Knox ironically.
I’m not sure but I think they’re all cities in TN and KY. Like Louisville, Shelbyville, Knoxville, and Nashville.
I think it’s cute the way she did it!

I recently read that there was an incident in a country outside the US (Australia, I think) where a judge forbade the parents of a certain child to name him/her the ridiculous name they had picked out (I can’t remember if the child was a boy or girl and don’t remember the name, but DO remember it was awful!) I think it’s cruel to saddle a child with a name that could cause a lifetime of torment. I know a few people, who are so caught up in their own persona of “being cool,” that they have come up with some horrendous names to be different and then get angry when people consider the name different! Can’t have it both ways. It’s like dying your hair blue to stand out and have people notice you, then saying “What are you looking at?” when people do look and notice you are different! On a side note: There are some nice-sounding place names, but I am just not personally into naming a child for a place. And character names, well that would depend on the character…I would tend to migrate toward a character in a classic book or play than a Disney or other animated character.

Chiara- Thank You. I for one was getting tired of all the ignorant comments about the Bronx.

Katee, good thinking! Wouldn’t it just be Pete’s style to send out a fake name. Although Jessica commented on it (she said something about being happy, but IDK if she said anything about the name… it would awesome if they had actually had a girl and named her Sarah or something. If not, then… yeah. Yikes.

Kathryn, it’s like Mow (as in mowing the lawn) glee. I think Beatrix isn’t like the Jolie Pitts because it’s a classic name that’s been well known for a long time. Names like Knox, Bronx and Pax are not so known as first names. I do feel it fits in that Jolie Pitt trend.

I don’t think they would name their child Bronx with an “x” simply because the Jolie-Pitts have that trend going among their own children. My daughter’s middle name is Beatrix, and the Jolie-Pitt clan never even crossed my mind while naming her. People also always ask if I named her after Beatrix Potter, whom I had never even heard of. In actuality, we named her from a baby name book…boring, yes, but we liked the name we chose and there was no big story, meaning or tradition behind it. We just simply liked the name, and maybe they just simply like theirs.

By the way, how is Mowgli pronounced?
