I'm a sick little puppy ... I'm one of those people that kinda likes snarkiness.

So, when I saw baby_names in the LJ Spotlight, I had to join. If you take a look at Baby's named a bad, bad thing - you'll see why I couldn't pass up this trainwreck of a community.

Even though I don't plan to have kids - and obviously can't - I like to get reminders of how people can be nearly psychotic when naming their kids ... or just deciding on the names for those munchkins.

Currently, it's enough to make my head spin. Naming your kid after a video game character? Almost as bad as the woman that wanted to name her son "Bish" (short for "Bishonen").

So, yeah ... it's good for a laugh or two, it seems. :-)

i'm so glad i named my daughter Cassidy. but i was close to naming her Tallulah.

my sister named her son 'gannon' in honor of our dad - it was her maiden name and instaed of using his first name she used the last name. different but really cool.

i loved reading the bad bad thing and still do :)

Tallulah's a pretty name - reminds me of the Tori Amos song!

What's scary is that someone in the Baby Names community was seriously contemplating naming their child "Catastrophe". That's enough to make the Baby Jesus cry.
