Yep.
 "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

I bet he'll be trying to shorten it by the time he enters 1st grade.

I agree, it's a stupid thing, but don't name your kids just because you think it'll keep them from getting beat up or made fun of in school. If your kid is going to get beat up or made fun of, the other kids will find something. Children are cruel. ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not so sure about the turnip. ~~ Terry Pratchett |

granted.. I was picked on at school because my family couldn't afford to get me the "cool" clothes.. it didn't help matters that Happy Days was a popular show then too.. I soon got tired of kids asking me how the Fonz was...

True. At the same time, I think there are things that will predestine your child to be picked upon & that you can avoid without giving up any principles. __________________________ You are a Farrier. You enjoy nothing more than seeing a well-fitted hoof. Just because it's an animal doesn't mean it can't have a touch of style. Try this pump; here's a stilletto; my, did you see the calves on that pony? Size 6? Oh, madame, really! Still, there are so many hooves, and so little time, and you often miss out on the fun (and the better meme results.) __________________________ "Truth! Justice! Freedom! ...

If you're going to name your kid "Superman", at least have some sense (not much, but some) and do what Nic Cage did - name him "Kal El". Not that "Cal Coppala" is a great name, but...
I can't even begin to address how many levels of Wrong the idea of naming your child "4real" is. ~*~ You are a Journeyman. You're perfecting your trade as you move around, packing and unpacking, town to town, up and down the dial. You're more traveled and therefore wiser than most, and you can entertain provincial townsfolk with stories about distant towns and strange customs.

Why don't they be subtle about it and name him Clark or Kal?
Why don't the parents sterilize themselves? |

Taking their behavior into account, I'm more scared of being related to them than their ability to procreate.

oh dear god, we just fell about laughing, there should obviously be parenting classes. i mean people like this should either a) not be allowed to reproduce, b) be allowed after they have sat classes that teaches them things that they have obviously missed.

I dunno, actually I quite like the idea of classes of school children named after pop-stars, superheroes and Harry Potter charactors. They should fight!

In grand perspective of poor parenting, I think giving your child a stupid name is one of the most minor of offenses. That said, it IS a truly stupid name.

They could just cut to the chase and name him Hit Me.

If they'd had any class, they'd have named him Zod.

Yeah, but Superman can rebuild masonry with his eyes. That's a very useful skill.
