Licence And Registration... Please!!!
Hi all!!
The other day Terrin brought a very interesting article in the Brandon Sun to my attention. The article was basically a very entertaining rant as to how the current trend of naming children absolutely ridiculous names should be considered an act of child abuse. If you want to read the article I'll put a link to the site at the end of my blog.The example the author used was from a birth announcement that she had seen for a new born baby with the name of.... are you ready for this?
Zipper! ZIPPER!!!! Her older sister's name is apparently Pandora.
What the frick!
No seriously you guys, what are people thinking? Those poor girls! How can they live down names like that? As soon as their peers learn of the phrase "Pandora's Box" the older one will have to go into hiding until she can change her own name legally. Terrin and I further discussed a plethora of other horrible names people have named their children. Here are some examples of what horrible names celebrities have given their children:
Nicholas Cage's son's name is Kal-el Coppola Cage
Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter's name is Apple Blyth Alison Martin
Jonathon Davis' (Korn frontman) son's name is Pirate Davis
Jason Lees' son's name is Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf-Lee
Madonna's daughter's name is Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon
Director Robert Rodriguez's kids names are: Racer, Rebel, and Rocket
Helen Hunt's daughter's name is Makena'lei
Shannyn Sossaman's daughter's name is Audio Science
All of the before mentioned examples leads me to my second point... people should have to get a licence qualifying them to have and raise children. As obsurd as that sounds, I'm only half kidding. You need a licence to fish, drive, dig in your own backyard, own a firearm , and the amount of paperwork and screening required to adopt someone else's kid can take years! But yet any stupid person can get knocked up and "raise" a child eventhough they have no concept of being able to take care of themselves, let alone another helpless being. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of really amazing people who seem to be doing a great job with their kids. But on the other hand, there are other people in this world who name their kid Audio Science....

All those names sound like products I would buy in a store, like they're trying to market their kid or something. I can't imagine having to sign my legal name as Rebel!
Preach it SISTA!! I totally agree that there are some NASTY names people use on thier children...And I TOTALLY agree on the liscence to be a parent thing! Especially for single young moms...But, even I think I need parenting classes sometimes...It's nothing to be ashamed about! You have to keep an open mind to learning new things to be the BEST parent that you can possibly be!
Food for thought.... maybe the problem isn't dumb people naming children (after all, it's their God-given right) but the fact that our other rights have been taken away. Why should I have to have permission to dig in my own backyard?
Well...this is all about our rights is it? Rights as a parent to name your child whatever you want? What about a child's right to a name that will be seen as decent for the rest of his or her life? These parents who give their children silly names are only concerned about their own "rights" as far as I am concerned. A bunch of selfish bastards if you ask me. You need permission to dig in your own back yard because there are safety concerns. Things might be buried there that can go "boom" if you aren't careful. I have met these people that are concerned about their "rights" and believe me, it amounts to nothing but selfishness.
Ooooooooo.......touchy!!!!
hi i am a friend of terrins from winnipeg..i was checking out some of the people she has on her friends list..i both agree and disagree with what you have said..you see i think that even though a child may be given a name that they do not like or others may not like it builds character..does everyone like their name..evenif it is a good name..take my name for example..my name is Mollie and i hate it..it is not a common name an i have recieved a lot of compliments on it but i still dont like it..if parents were to scared to try something different and give their child a different name from everyone else then we would all have the same names..its bad enough that in schools there are at times 4 kids with the same name ..cummon how boring is that..i know that some names may be taken to the extream but it is the same thing that has been happening since God created the world..even if the extreams are as such..but if we didnt have those people making weird names no new names would come around.
