Unique Baby Names

When I complain about my name no one understands. You see, no one can find anything objectionable about the name David. There have been many famous Davids, both good and bad. Nowadays, there are still many famous Davids. David is a completely neutral name in every way. That is why it drives me crazy! It is completely colorless in bland, and I hate it. Now that I am an expectant father, I want to give my child treat. I want my child to have a name that helps him or her to stand out from the crowd. I have been looking at all of the unique baby names that I can find. By the time my kid is born, I will have found one of the top 100 names of all time.

Of course, it is easy to overdo it with the unique baby name, as many children of celebrities will tell you. Asked Dweezil Zappa how he feels about his name. What about Moonbeam? It is possible that they like their unique baby names, but then again, it is possible that they hate them. Everyone remembers the lessons of the Johnny Cash song “Boy Named Sue”. A parent may have a very good reason behind a unique baby name, but that does not mean that the child will love it. Unique baby names are a double-edged sword.

Quote of the Day

Babies control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them; in fact ... the family brings up baby by being brought up by him.

—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)

I think that the key is to find a baby name unique enough to help the child stand out and seem special, but not strange enough that other kids make fun of him. Some unique baby names are truly atrocious. I think that there are some parents who have a very sadistic sense of humor, and give their children unique baby names that they know they will hate. It is a way of having power over the children, and the kid can't do anything about it until he or she turns 18.

Unique baby names should not come between a parent and a child. I have decided that if I give my child a unique baby name and he or she does not like it, they will be free to change their name. It doesn't matter what age they are, I believe in the right to be referred to by whatever name you want. I may love the unique baby names, but it is not my opinion that matters the most. It is the opinion of my son or daughter that really counts.

Foster Parent
By Juan Jensen
Despite all the foster care training that I got, being a foster parent was something I was wholly unprepared for.
