I dont have a problem with people coming up with unique and original names. It is 2011. I loathe the group mentality where it is considered "good" to have a name like, Cathy, Susan, Tom, Dave. I am sick to death with these pablum names. I was sick to death of them in the 60's and I am still sick of them.

People taking the piss out of others is more about the people taking the piss than the person with the unique name. People suck and have kids and their kids act out on other kids cause adults are too big and bossy for kids to take the piss out of them. You see a bossy bullying kid look at the parents, that is where it mostly originates.

Why we are so in love with conformity and call it "reality"? It is some crazy archaic shit we propagate. If a child is named with love and consideration of who that little being is it is none of anyone's business. If folks need to point fingers and all that because someone has an unusual name they likely make boring dinner guests.

The Zappa kids were named unusal names but I have read a book Moonbeam wrote and she is an awesome soul. European people often have "unusual" names, first and last, so the freak what. When my parents came to North America they made my mom change her first name because white people didnt know how to pronounce it. Yeah right. I call bogus conformist bullshit.

It's cool if you don't have a problem with it, but how nice of you to spare a thought for the kids who will have to live with the name somebody who tried to be so "cool and nonconformist" saddled them with. I am sure you can scream bogus conformist nonsense all day long and feel good about it, how good would you feel if your kids come home with bloody noses or in tears because the other kids are taking the piss? But hey, who cares about the kids YOU got your nonconformist way, to hell with them if they can't take a bit of suffering and pain... Now if you want to be so nonconformist, how about you change your name and live with it? Btw there is quite a range of names that aren't "Cathy, Susan, Tom, Dave" but are possibly not quite as far out as Zuma or Princess Tia, or whatever brain fart somebody had....

What a testament to our society to think when naming a child you have to worry about what others think (or else you will need to plan to get beat up, made fun of ) as more important than what the parents think.

This is not going to stop bullying kids from sending kids home with bloody noses, that is my point.

What a testament to our society to think when naming a child you have to worry about what others think (or else you will need to plan to get beat up, made fun of ) as more important than what the parents think. Hey I like a lot of old skoo names. I like tradition, it is fine. I am talking about people naming their children some lame ass name because they are afraid of what others think. Mush name so the child mushes in.

I have an unusual strangely spelled last name, I have a first name I have heard poodles and ponies called. I have immigrant parents with big ol accents and we were very poor. I was a very sensitive kid and blah blah blah. The kids that made fun of me, pulled my hair out, fought me, are the problem, not me and my funny name.

I like the name Zuma, what is wrong with it? There are some women named Zuma and they like their name. I havent met anyone named Princess Tia and I bet you havent either.
