Finally, a Place to Report Bad Baby Names
Blogger Diana Goodman runs a site called NotWithoutMyHandbag, and she keeps a running collection of absurd baby names that makes for very entertaining reading. Goodman invites readers to send in their tips, and then tries to corroborate the info to make sure she's not trying to serve up Oranjello/Lemonjello style urban myth as the real deal. Kynda Boring? Unconfirmed. Chanda Lear? Yep, she's really out there. Luv Joy Seamon? Walking around a college campus (probably introducing herself as "Madison") as we speak.
No way to confirm it, may be hairdresser myth, but my colorist swears she has another client who named her son Optimus Prime. After the Transformer.
I once had a Pitney Bowes rep named Bella Vilella. Totally not kidding. I saved her card for ages just to prove it. Super cute girl!! My husband and I now say her name really fast whenever we stumble over our words. (Sorry Bella!)
