I know this is my journal and I should be talking about me, but I had to share this story that I read on Yahoo! yesterday. A Chinese couple announced that they want to name their son the @ symbol! At. And I was giving Katie Holmes and Gwyneth Paltrow shit for their weird baby names. This tops the list by far! I guess the name supposedly means "love him" in Chinese, but when have you ever seen a Chinese symbol that looks like that!?! Right, never.
In the same article they were talking about the U.S. couple that wanted to name their son 4Real (yes with the NUMBER four), but they were officially denied that right by the U.S. government. On the birth certificate there can only be characters - no symbols, numbers, etc. So they went with Superman instead, but will still call him 4Real. Maybe he'll grow up to be a rapper...
This of course got me thinking about what I will name my own children some day. Hopefully the names I choose will spare them from lifelong humiliation. How does Fo' Shizzle sound?
Anybody have any weird baby names to share?
