Interesting that many countries have a list of "approved" names a person must choose from.

(1,866 posts)we learned about the a Danish list of approved baby names. We had never heard of this before. They had a name picked out, but when they consulted the list, it wasnt on there. On to Plan B.
Im not sure how I feel about this, but if wed have this in the US, many children certainly could avoid some unpleasant life experiences.

(23,813 posts)...a few doozy-level stupid names.
Parents make up clever spellings that dont follow any conventional rues of pronunciation, and then get annoyed if you dont say it right - dont spell your kids name Jerome and expect people to know that you want it pronounced Jeremy (Jer-o-me). Or name your daughter Micheal and get pissed off if people think your baby is a boy.
Or naming your kid ESPN after the TV station and pronouncing it Espin (ESPN Ann for a girl).
Did we all see the story of the mother who spells her daughters name ABCDE and pronounces it Ab-sih-dee? According to Wikipedia, there are about 400 females in the US named ABCDE. ABCDE does not spell ANYTHING!
