What happened to when Stephanie was Step-on-Me
What is it with people and the crazy baby names these days, while my distant family is equally to blame since my mom's cousin named their kid Autumn Sky like 4 months ago (thankfully they only call her Autumn which I don't mind it's when it's paired with something like Sky that creeps me out) it seems that names today are just plain strange and the spellings just keep getting weirder and weirder. While I am all for unique baby names, I think that there is a certain amount of thought that needs to go into it, for example if you're going to give your child a whacked out first name maybe give them a traditional middle name so if they really hate it they can go by their middle name. Today when I went to look up the baby picture of a family friend's new little one (with a totally wonderful normal name) I came across this wee little girl named Stormy Sky. Did her parents just look out the window during labor and say whoa its storming lets name her stormy sky or did some amount of legitimate thought go into such a name? Based on her picture and hair and eye color I couldn't think of any ethnic or cultural reason to name her that. Im not really sure which scares me more, that they thought about it and chose that name or that they picked this poor child's name on some kind of whim. Also what is with having 20 different ways to spell Kate, or any other name for that matter. How can you teach your child to read if their name doesn't even phonetically make sense? We used to have to get creative when we were young in order to make fun of someone's name, now the parents are just handing the material right to the kids. Oye I tell you Oye.
