If you want to read this, make sure you read the WHOLE thing.
Parents name their children with high hopes that they might succeed in life.
We all have different origins to our names.
It might be English, French, Welsh, Greece, or even Latin. And they come from many different things, like
1) Plants, herbs, flowers, and tree.
Ashley came from the Ash Tree. Holly came from the Holly Tree.
Your usual Lily, Rose, Jasmine, Daisy, Lavender, Rose Mary, Clover and more.
Imagine Clover saying “I am lucky”, you would have to guess if she meant it literally, hah!
2) Months
-April, May, June and August (Augustine)
Which when they say “Hi, my name is June”
I like to reply “Hi, is it? My name is September” (:
3) Places
-Chelsea, London, Paris, America.
You might not know Brittany is derived from ‘Britain’.
I wonder if anyone tried naming their child, Malaysia?
4) Fruits
-Cherry, Berry, Ginger, Apple.
Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple. The paparazzi commented that this maybe a nice name 50 years ago when Apple is a bright gorgeous fruit, but right now? All it does is remind people of an Ipod.
5) Colors and Gemstones
-Amber, Ruby, Scarlett, Violet, Crystal, Esmeralda.
6) Then you have weird people who name their children after a car (Mercedes)
This eventually lead me into searching,
CELEBRITIES AND THEIR REAL NAMES
Bob Dylan – Robert Zimmerman
Elton John - Reginald Kenneth Dwight
Fergie - Stacy Ann Ferguson
Katy Perry - Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson
Madonna - Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone
Marilyn Monroe – Norma Jean Baker
Nat King Cole - Nathaniel Adams Coles
THE WEIDEST CELEB BABY NAMES
If you ever thought Tom Cruise’s daughter Suri and Angelina Jolie’s son Maddox are weird names, wait till you read the below.
I seriously tell you, it is as if the celebrities didn’t get enough attention themselves.
1) Jamie Oliver, the naked chef, name his 3 daughters:
Poppy Honey Oliver
Daisy Boo Oliver
Petal Blossom Rainbow Oliver
Briana: OMG, sound like rejected names for strawberry shortcake characters!
2) Frank Zappa named his children,
Moon Unit Zappa (astronaut?!)
Dweezil Zappa
Ahmet Emuukha Rodan Zappa
Diva thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa (Hello, my name is Diva?!)
Briana: Ahahahahahah, Diva thin muffin?!
3) Nicholas Cage named his son Kal-El Copolla Cage.
Briana: Just because he likes superman (Kal-El being Superman’s birth name)
4) Jason Lee named his son Pilot Inspecktor Lee.
Briana: Hello, I’m Pilot.
5) Paula Yates and Bob Geldof named their children:
Tiger Lily Heavenly Hirani Geldof
Peaches Honeyblosson Geldof
Little Pixie Geldof
Fifi Trixibelle Geldof
Briana: Fifi was my tuition teacher’s dog’s name –.-
6) Sylvester Stallone’s son is called Sage Moonblood Stallone.
Briana: Sounds like the fifth book for Twilight Series man.
7) Michael Jackson had 2 sons.
Prince Michael Jackson & Prince Michael Jackson II
Briana: Yes, we all like titles, I should name my daughter Princess Briana.
8) Shannyn Sossamon named her son Audio Science Clayton.
Briana: And I can name my son Biomedical Science!
9)Penn Jillette named his son Moxie Crimefighter Jilette.
Briana: According to Penn, his wife had no middle name, and nobody uses middle name anyway, so why not have some fun with it? But still, that does not explain the ‘moxie’ part.
10) Rob Morrow (from Numb3rs) named his daughter Tu Morrow.
Briana: I LOVE THIS ONE LAH, damn classic! It has the same tune as ‘Mary Christmas’ or ‘Candy Barr’. Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
“It sure is cloudy today Daddy” “Don’t worry, the sun will come out, TuMorrow”
After given some thought, I figured some names that you should never give your baby.
DO NOT name your daughter Doreen.
Trust me, Doreen is not a good name. In cantonese, ‘Doh’ means sagging, ‘Reen’ means breast. You don’t need me to make the connection.
Last but not least, NEVER EVER
name your son ‘HARRY’, if your surname happens to be ‘KOK’!
Oh, before I go, I think everyone should know what their names mean.
So here are the 2 best websites that I've found, enjoy (:
LOLs~ Nice one, I read an article somewhere on odd names too. You should see what the people with BAD english come up with... I wish they'd just name their kids in their native language, I'm PROUD of having a Chinese name if you get what I mean... I heard of people named Kentucky Fried Chicken... Seriously.
ReplyDeleteOh, and about Mercedes? Mercedes is a French name, originally. Apparently the guy who founded the car company named it after his daughter, I think. XD So no, I doubt people who are named Mercedes are named after the car, it's the car that's named after the girls, like Ford. XD
Penn Jillette named his daughter Moxie CrimeFighter not his son.
