    There is a family in our ward whose last name is Bean. I like them very much. Their children's names are Boston, Navy, and Seven.

      Parents who give their kids "unique" names are just setting them up for extra ridicule in the public school system.

      I guess if that's their goal, then more power to you, mean parents everywhere.

      But I believe it's more a case of the parents being stupid.

        Her full name is Phillipa (her dad is a Brit) but she goes by Pippa for short.

        I have known her since she was about 6 or so. I am used to the name and think it is a cute name although I would have never thought of it on my own.
        Phillipa is/was an extremely popular name in England.

          Brixton (boy)
          Kaysen (boy)
          Natas (boy). Yes, that's Satan spelled backwards (which was the intent...the child is technically not in the ward, but his grandparents are and they bring him to church occasionally. Parents are, as you'd guess big-time scary losers)

            Yes, I agree, which is why I referenced her dad's cultural background.

            His name is Aleister. How's that for a traditional Brit name?

            They have no boys, but if they were to have a son, 100 quid says they name him Ian.

              The worst I've seen is Gage.

              Also, if you are from Utah you have to name a kid something that ends/rhymes with "aden" like Braden, Hayden, Caden, etc.

                I have a nephew named Gage. His brother is named Boston.

                  I'm not sure if there's any connection. This particular family lived in Sandy when I knew them.

                  I just thought of two other names. When I was at my parents' ward, a baby was being blessed, and the kid's name was Radisson. After the blessing I asked my dad if they named her after the place of conception.

                  The other was a worker at Walmart whose name tag said "Ceighte." I walked down an entire aisle before I figured out what that was supposed to be.

                      In high school I knew a kid named Rich Butt. In law school I met another guy named Rich Butt. What are the odds of knowing two guys named Rich Butt?

                        At least you had a reason to dust off those old jokes from high school.

                            Sweet, sounds like there is another Reynolds that no one knew about. Anyone know his age and whether or not he's leaning towards the Y?

                                Or Schenectady? You could call them Neck for short.
