Divinest Sense

This seems to be the year for havin’ babies, at least among my circle of friends and acquaintances. These new and expectant parents have already received lots and lots of advice, thanks to helpful books, doctors, midwives, lamaze classes, parenting magazines, family members, and other reliable sources. But what about the best source of all–your fellow Americans, via the Internet?

Because I know exactly nothing about parenting, I thought I could, at the very least, help my friends out by searching the internet for some awesome baby names. A quick Google search for “baby names” should demonstrate to you that this is one of the hottest things going on the internet. Everyone’s got a great new idea (or 20) for a name, and they want to share it by posting on any message board they can get their bored little hands on. And better yet, these folks have already done the research on the name’s origin, so that you don’t have to.

And even better, someone ELSE has scoured all of these helpful forums and aggregated the brightest and the best. I don’t know why it’s called “The Bad Baby Names Blog“, because this stuff is pure gold:

AMITY: In the movie Jaws, the town that was attacked by the shark was called Amity. It is a very pretty name.

Non-sequitur WHHHAAAAA???

LAMYA: This name makes me think of a llama. A furry creature with big hairy hips. Like a hippo.

Double-WHAAAAAAAA????

CHIRANJEEVI: This name reminds me of Corn. Yummy corn.

Maybe she is high? That would explain all of these comments. Plus the munchies.

CLOVER: This would be an awesome name for someone who was born on St. Patrick’s Day!

No. Just no. A leprechaun’s coming to kick your ass right now.

Future parents should, nay, must go read this blog’s entire archive. I hope she updates again soon. One more pearl, for the historians out there:

Does any one no what makaveli means and do u thnk it would be weird to name a boy this?

makaveli was a person (dont know where from) that faked his death to get to his enemies

I don’t think it ‘means’ anything, not that I can find, anyway. Makaveli was a gangster, or something of the sort, and also the pseudonym of Tupac.

I read somewhere that the name meant “the prince of power”. I think it’s a cute name.

Best answer?

where am I ??? the twilight zone ????
