carpandean Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Personally, I prefer uncommon names to extremely common ones (having lived with one myself), but not really stupid, goofy ones. Names like North, Apple, Unique and anything on this list are just mean to give a kid. Bohdi, on the other hand, doesn't bother me at all. Less common (though, the type that could become a fad name), but a real name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Didn't Steve Ott name his kid Maverick? And Jordan Leopold name his daughter Jordyn? Not sure where those rank.... Maverick is dumber than Bodhi. By FAR. There are plenty of women named Jordan; spelling it with a 'y' doesn't rise to misdemeanor level, IMO.

No biggy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robviously Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Didn't Steve Ott name his kid Maverick? And Jordan Leopold name his daughter Jordyn? Not sure where those rank.... What is the success rate on these "unique" names? Has anyone ever heard a really unusual baby name and thought "Wow, great job!" And if you're this kid, you're basically being sentence to a lifetime of repeating your name for people who are confused and explaining how to spell it. Way to go. I doubt anyone has ever been made more unique, special, or interesting person by their parents' choice of name. It's really just the parents' chance to announce to the world how pretentious and douchey they are. And if you're announcing the name of your child AND the meaning (e.g. "enlightenment!") of that name, that's not a good sign. (I don't count family names or cultural names as "meaning" explanations; those are fine.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 So I mentioned this thread to my wife (her quote: "How Mom-advice* of them"), and when I said Bodhi she replied, "like the tree in India? And she's of Indian descent? That's not weird at all." * Mom-advice is a group on FB that Mom's get together and discuss current events, babies, names, food, etc. Think of it like SabreSpace, but with the opposite gender skew.

wjag Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Saw something in the STL-DET game that I have never seen before. Pietrangelo lost a blade on one of his skates making him a one-legged skater. It happened in the neutral zone. As he was hopping/hobbling to the bench, Detroit essentially had the man advantage and pressed the attack in the STL zone. The ref, helped push Pietrangelo off the ice allowing the Blues to change a player. Is that level of interference by a ref on behalf of one team allowed?

We used to have a homophone bar here, you could come in with a good reed, but the customers: habitually blue. Just saw a Mirtle thread that Max Afinigonev is third in the KHL in penalty minutes.

inkman Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 What if you hate these new white American names too? Kyle, Dylan, Cody, etc. In the immortal words of George Carlin "soft names make for soft people". Along with "###### Tucker. Tucker sucks". What's wrong with Cody? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvelo Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Kessel has 7 goals in 42 games this season. That says a lot about some players' abilities to overcome mediocre teammates and dejection. Remind us of anyone? Maybe a bit of Ehrhoff, Leino and Cody Hodgson. Some players can only take losing for so long and they play with a heavy heart. I know it's not professional but I think that's the way it is.
