Baby Names

I knew of a Farron once, but it was a guy.

My daughter's best friend is named Salome. 

The worst name I ever heard for a girl is Dorcas. Really? She was a nurse when I was in nursing school- I couldn't believe it when I was told her name

This is a Biblical name from the New Testament.  She was a woman who made clothes for poor children.  I snicker when I run across it in the Preschool Sunday School class I teach.  The kids are so young, they don't notice that it's considered a weird name nowadays!

And, I'm assuming it's pronounced "Dork-us"?

yes, that's how it's pronounced. I thought, and still do, that it's the worst name ever for a girl!!!

Being a teacher, I have heard some doozies.  LOL   Here are a few interesting ones:

Maecan (girl...pronounced Mason)
Candy (last name Cotton)
Vicktoryia (apparently they weren't sure how they wanted to spell it)
and last, but not least, one poor girl whose name was Sena (pronounced Seen-a) Johnson!

My husband went to school with a girl name Ima (last name Pigg!) and a boy name Forrest (last name Bugg!)

This has been such a funny post to read . I've been laughing at all these names. Placenta!! Really!!  Lord help that child.  Xerox!! Hilarious!  Brooklyn Ho- giggle.  My DH's oldest named her daughter Karma. It is cute but that poor baby when she gets older. I don't think I need explain that one.

I work with a nurse named Karma. She is great...a good nurse, and very easy going and fun loving. It has great associations for me through her! lol

One of the docs I work with just had twin baby girls,.....6-9 and 6-15 at birth! Talk about a huge belly, as they went 38 weeks lol. Anyway....they named the babies Kyle Kathryn and Ryan Michelle. Unusual for girls, but I think they are awesome!

 

Isn't it funny, a lot of boys names are accepted for girls, but not vice versa...  Can you imagine naming them Kathryn Kyle and Michelle Ryan if they were boys?  not quite so awesome!  lol
 

RYAN is a BOYS name in New Zealand..never heard of a girl called Ryan!!!!
My daughters name is Cherie..she gets called cherry or it is spelled Sheree..I hate it when people can't be bothered with correct spelling.
and my odest daughter is named Amanda and I know that's used as a boys name, so is Mandy which is what she got called as a child. thinking of actor..Mandy Patinken in particular he is a great actor! 

I've never heard of Amanda for a boy. And Mandy Patinken is the first male Mandy I've ever seen. But I agree...he's a fantastic actor!

There's a character named Dorcas in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"....one of my favorite movies. Ali and I always laugh at her name lol.

That's how they pronounce it in the movie!

I worked at a retail store once, and it was funny to hear one of the department managers called over the intercom: "Ms. Seeman, line 1."  haha!

Farran is quite interesting and I like the ones that can go for males or females
