"Unusual Spellings of Baby Names Out of Control"

[AngelPunks]

I have only a couple of comments:

1. I work in family law, have spent time in Children's Courts, and I've literally seen it all.
2. In my experience, the more "whacky" the names, the more likely the children are to end up in the Children's Court (whether in the welfare or criminal divisions) or the Family Court (where their parents fight over them).
3. I rarely see "normal" names in Court.

Here are my three theories about Family Law. Shoot me down in flames if you like, but they're true.

a) If you have more than two Ys in your child's name, you are feral.
b) If you have a positive tatt-to-teeth ratio (ie more tattoos than teeth) you are definitely feral.
c) If you have both of the above, plus any visible piercings, you are guaranteed to be a Legal Aid client.

I love this when you quote when we're out and then start throwing out some of the names. I nearly wet myself!

I dislike my VERY boring common name, I am the first to have such a boring name, my mother, grandmother & greatgrandmother had amazing names (Alfreda, Betsida, Philabena), my dad had an incredible name (Gehard) and I got stuck with a boring one!

My children will have unusual names, but they won't have names common that have had "silent L's" or extra letters put in it just for the hell of it. I have an unusual heritage, so therefore my children will also have that heritage and that of their father's so that will be taken into consideration when naming happens.
