I was chatting with a random stranger when she mentioned that her and her husband had named their son "Kayak", and their daughter "Sail".
They are thinking of themselves, not the child, when they give their kids ridiculous names.
Sounds like both those parents should be "paddled" across their "gunwales" for that!
With two "Christian" names, a "first" and a "middle", make sure at least one of them is something withing the realm of normalcy. That way if the kid becomes a famous artist they can go with the unusual name and if they become the head of a Fortune 500 company they can use the normal name.
Anything is better than 'Harper' for a girl
Anyway, nothing wrong with being unconventional
My daughrer is named Wednesday and if I have another daughter she will be called Andromeda Moonchild lol
I think some parents think their kids are pets and they can name them really out-there monikers and the kids are going to just love it.
I caught some flak from the older generation because I named my daughter Willow. Now it is kind of common. When I named her that, there was only one Willow around that I knew of. I heard later that the lead singer from the Who, Roger Daltry named his daughter that. It was after I did though. I think Pink has a daughter with that name as well.
I love the name Harper. Sorry. It's a perfectly great name. Better than Mable or Bertha.
Johnny Cash. Yes. 
They are not very bright. The poor child has to live with that name.
It's better than giving a girl a boy's name (or vice versa). I don't think that stranger could have been so bad as to deserve being described with the R-word.
Yes, I do know that song. As far as I know he did it for a joke.
I like the name Mabel when it's spelled with "el" at the end, but not Mable with "le" at the end. It doesn't look right. I also like the name Bertha because it suits big women. :)
It always amazes me what some children are called.
I'm okay with anything that may lead to a hilarious Vaudeville routine.
