OK, so i go out to dinner last night with a bunch of new couples - all Japanese ex-pat chicks who are friends with my wife and their gaijin boyfriends ..and one guy introdices himself to me as "Hi, I'm Reflection."
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that?"
"Reflection."
"What?"
"Reflection. I know, strange right? But that's my real name."
Then his girlfriend leans in and says "His parents were hippies. His brothers name is On."
"Of course it is...'
Hippy parents, I saw that coming a mile away. Who the fuck names their kid "Reflection"?

I got 'Salmon' as a middle name.
I wish I had an adjective for it...
- Werd0
Crusty Salmon? Rusty for short.
- st33d0
Salmon is the adjective. Salmon Steak. (Cockney rhyming slang for cocaine - rake.)

Hahah, I'll take the latter... If I have to choose.

Witt, there were a lot of Portuguese names in Namibia. A lot of refugees came from Angola. Actually, all over Southern Africa. Mocambique refugess all over too.

I'm all for unique names, as long as they're not embarrassing or spelled incorrectly.
Also, keep in mind that people from other countries don't even think about the implications about naming their child some "english" name or what it actually means.
And some names were quite popular in the past but are considered weird names now because of pop culture and/or other reasons (ie. "Buffy" was popular in the 60s).

This being said, celebrities are the worst (the following info are from articles I found):- Michael Jackson's sons are Prince Michael I and Prince Michael II.
- Jermaine Jackson has a child named Jermajesty.

- Sonny and Cher = Chastity, - Cher and Gregg Allman = Elijah Blue.
- Paula Yates had three children with rocker Bob Geldof: Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Pixie.
- She also had a daughter with the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence -- Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.- David Bowie's son Zowie grew up and started calling himself Duncan, and Joe.
- Grace Slick and Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane, who were going to name their daughter god - with a small g, but settled for China after running into resistance from bureaucrats filling out the birth certificate.
- Frank Zappa named his children Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Rodan and Diva.
- Rob Morrow's daughter is named Tu. (Get it, Tu Morrow...)
- George Foreman named his sons George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI., and one of his four daughters Georgetta.
- Erykah Badu and Andre Benjamin (a.k.a. Andre 3000) named their kid Seven Sirius.
- Ving Rhames' kids are Reignbeau and Freedom.

Jesus Christ.
No, Jaline that's what we should name our son/daughter.

Jerome is funny for a person of white skin, and Salmon is a funny name for someone of any coloured skin.
...
I'd like to say that is why I'm so funny, however, that is pretty much self proclaimed, haha.
- Jaline0
hehe, done

search your name:

Jaline is a nice name, but only because I know a nice person named it. To be honest I never knew it pronounced beforehand, but I imagine you knew that.
I really like Ingrid for a girl, but I imagine that is going to take a lot of convincing.
- Jaline0
Heh, thanks. It's pronounced quite differently in my parent's language but because whiteys have been calling me juhleeknee since kindergarten it just stuck. I don't mind it, since everyone says my name differently so it's like a surprise.
I really like the name Jerome but before I knew you I always thought of a Jerome as being like Jude Law's character from Gattaca. Which may not be a bad thing.
- ********0
Haha weird, I thought it was Juh-lee-knee on purpose.
Not because of mispronounciation.
(Which I thought would lead to 'jah-leen'.)
I love 'Gattaca' and not because of the main character, though I'm sure the name dropping doesn't hurt.
And all of us Jerome's are better than every one else.
Just like Gattaca.

Wait.
