Chinese couple tries to name child "@" - Page 2

beaner692 · 08-20-2007, 01:03 AM

I heard this kid was named Apple

Nicholas Cage's kid is Kal-El rofl.

I don't even know if I spelled that right, but it's Superman's real name.

Prince did it first.

**DJ_Swabber** · 08-20-2007, 01:25 AM

I'll name my kid "Dell", and slap him in the face.

Remember that the parents DID put some thought into naming this kid "@"; it may be meaningless in English, but it has a meaning to the parents. It certainly wasn't picked at random.

What I don't like is when parents choose a name after some actual product or company, such as Mercedes or Tiffany (diamond company). It's sad that they compare something like that to a child.

how do you pronounce that? is it "AHHH!!!!" is it "exclamation mark." something else?

i feel bad for people named gaylord.

**freakysnots** · 08-20-2007, 02:36 AM

I seriously feel bad for the kids named Dick, even though it's a real name...

They will get picked on from the point kids know what dick means, until they mature around grade 8+

i know a kid named richard wang, and his nickname is dick-dick, since dick is the nickname of a person named richard, and a wang is that, too.

Believe it or not, I go down to the cemetary annually to remember someone by the name of Moon Dick.

Hey

My name is Richard.

ledwix · 08-20-2007, 02:49 AM

haha my principal in 3rd grade was named gaylord anderson, and he pronounced it as gay lord. gaylord perry (famous pitcher), etc.

richard is a kool name ^__^ i wish i had that.

edit: yes, i remember that, Tass. Espn would be a weird name. i'd probably be one of the people that might name a child that, though, since i watch sportscenter like 5 times a day. espy would be better, though.

inflames07 · 08-20-2007, 03:25 AM

Wonder if there is length limits. Maybe I'll name my kid 4 different alphabets or maybe..

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

**bmah** · 08-20-2007, 03:31 AM

Don't think there would be actual letter length limits, but the inconvenience of a very long name is a limit in itself.
