I get Martin's point. Would you rather name a name too strange to name a human baby, or would you risk picking up your child in Kindergarten calling out a child who probably shares the same exact name as your class mate? Where's the individuality in that?

If you want a name that merely identifies, just use a number like 3.14159, When the kid grows up, he or she will have lots of other kids calling him/her Sweetie Pi....or Honey Pi...or asking her for a tgaste of Hair Pi.

In their quest for "unique" names, some parents seem to forget that there's a child trapped under that name. I wouldn't want to be named Razor Blade or Paper Clip, so I sure wouldn't do that to a child. There are plenty of actual names out there that aren't commonly used by every other parent in the carpool.

I agree with you completely. Another point to bring up is that the child might decide they don't like their name when they get to be a preteen or teen anyhow. It's best to pick something that the kid can live with their ENTIRE lives. Yeah Apple might be cute for a baby but who is to say the poor kid won't get called Apple Bottom or something silly throughout their life.

Lol I think hes actually got a point though. Id have no problem calling my kid Chubaca. Its a free country, right? Ive heard stupider names. Like kids named after months and jemstones for example :D

I read a few years ago that boys have a harder time with "different" names than girls do... Either way, you should think twice about what you call your kid.
"Psycho Baby" just might turn ou to be a nut!

Me, I'd pick a name that a) isn't too common, and b) I wouldn't mind having myself. Take into account that your kid will be stuck will your good or bad decision for the rest of there childhood, if they really want it changed after that, they can make their own good or bad decision. Until then, you will be the one responsible for any good or bad nicknames that he or she gets stuck with. Think of that before you decide on a name.

I WONDER WHAT THE HELL WOMEN THINK WHEN THEY LAY WITH THESE MEN (SHAKING MY HEAD) UNLESS HIS KID IS GOING TO BE 6 FEET TALL IN KINDERGARTEN UM CHEWBACA WOULD GET HIS ARSE KICKED ON THE PLAYGROUND.. WE ALL KNOW THAT KIDS GET PICKED ON FOR BEING DIFFERENT ANY WAY SO NOW YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE THEM A REASON TO KICK HIS ARSE..BETTER GET HIM TO KARATE CLASS FOR PRESCHOOL
AND YOU STUPID PEOPLE RESPONDED ARE JUST AS SILLY!
I HAD A VERY INTERESTING NAME GROWING UP AND TRUST ME WHEN I HAD CHILDREN I STUCK WITH THE NORMAL NAMES! KIDS CAN BE CRUEL!!!
