My mother was a funny lady. She would joke that we were given our names because if we were stupid, we could at least spell them. We all three have very easy to spell names and only 3-4 characters. My mother had the least amount of faith in me. My brothers both have longer names, but go by the shortened nickname version of the name. My real name on the birth certificate is only the shortened version of a full name.

I want to use family names that are not as common any more. My father's name is now though because of that stupid Twilight crap. My grandmother's name is very unique and I kind of love it. Eldena. If I have a female offspring she'll probably get made fun of and go by a nickname instead. There is also an Aunt Dorkus in my lineage. That would ruin my child.

My friend is a teacher and she had such a difficult time naming her daughter. They didn't know the sex until birth so they worked on both male and female names for 9 months. Every name that her husband came up with, A. would think of a bratty kid she had. She did NOT want to name her child after such bad memories. They finally came up with names that didn't make A. cringe.

I have another teacher friend who had a kid named Gezzikuh. It was pronounced like Jessica. I can't wait to squeeze out a kid and give it a horrible name.
