400 Dumbest Names Parents Have Given to Their Kids


Book Description

In the famous quote"what is in a name?" from Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet argues that a person's name is not nearly as important as whom the person really is on the inside. True or Not, attempting to choose a name for a baby is a difficult task and many have failed woefully. Some parents can be said to have perfectly destroyed their children's lives before they had even started! The extent of the fun and ridicule that follows a name could tell how dumb they are! My heart goes out to all the well-meaning people who are cursed with any horrific labels stated in this book because in my humble opinion most people are not responsible for their names. And of course with the exception of a few excitement seekers who intentionally change their names to things that are out of the realms of common sense. This book contains the "cure" for dumb names; suggested list of better names and meanings to save the world from repeating bad histories.
