What are people thinking when naming their kids?

[cincoseisdos]

"Jayden" "Jaylen" "Kaden" "Aiden"
These seem to be the hypebeast names of the last few years.

How do the parents think kids can survive society with names like this? Should there be a buffer or overseer of crap like this?

This guy.

I've noticed that most Cubans' names start with the letters Y or J

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

The reach 

Im with OP 

you guys are fooling yourselves if you don't think religion has everything to do with this conversation. where do you think most generic names come from? 
Like I said, if people don't feel the need to conform to generic names then why adhere to the religion? why pick and choose conformity and what you feel comfortable with? 

Secondly OP himself basically said that this thread is in fact mainly about black people so, yeah...monday maybe you should read the posts in the thread before you say someone is reaching....I called OP on beating around the bush on how he feels and he blatantly admitted to what I already suspected the topic was about so....yeah....

Ya'll want to beat around the bush and play cute, go ahead. If you want to discuss the real topic and the underlying topics at hand then let's do that. Otherwise topics like these on NT have no place, like I've always said. People here can't have a conversation without getting offended, sad.

Thank goodness my "African American" father gave me a non-ridiculous name.

QFE.....Just so people know what the thread is really about.

The only thing I don't like about it, is that a name should mean something. I believe you should name your child with meaning, importance. Alot of these names are just popping up because they are "creative" or something..

@ black people (African American's namely)

Jus sayin, cuz West Indians and black Hispanics (whatever) don't really do this, they generally have meaningful Christian names. 

Fixed.

People don't think about the future honestly. They think about all of the, "Aww that is a cute name" comments that they will get from others. Or they are just trying to be different when it comes to the spelling of more "traditional" names. It is selfish and show-offish. Another, "Look at us" moment.

Plus if a mother has never tasted an ounce of the professional world why would she even think about her kid getting a taste of it.

If someone hiring is looking at two similar resumes and on the top of one it says Emily and on the other it says Juanita......95% of the time you knows whos getting the job, its a sad truth but thats the way it is

Let's see I got one of each running around my rec center, actually I've got two of both Kaden and Aiden.

Some names are absolutely ridiculous but most aren't that serious.

Someone asked me today if my name was Portuguese. Once I was asked if my name was LaSheena...i was lowkey offended

That said my daughter will have a unisex name and my sons will have something Arabic or African.

Its really unfair that people are judged like that for their names when you think about it.

Yep, sure is. Most of the time there won't even be a callback.

Oh of course, that's NT for you. I've seen bad names from all sorts and all colors. It's a class thing imo.

 How long is "always" ? 



 

Lexus has only existed since 1989.
