Why? Just why?

I don't think these people realize that this could easily lead to bullying when she's older

 

Nah, the kid needs to be tough, it's perfect.  Names mean nothing, just look at my name, Sheldon.  Lamest fucking name ever, like I give a shit!  I make Sheldon cool.   

 

I voted for Megatron, but then I saw Fluttershy down lower, we have to bring that name to the top! 

[The Taxman 274]

Ugh, what? Aren't names supposed to state want you want your child to be?

 

My parents named me after a Spanish word that meant 'warrior for the faith'. My friend's parents gave her a name that meant 'peace'. If they name someone 'Cthulhu', what the heck does that mean?

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Well, my actual given name means bad luck, so I'm not sure if this is really all that much worse.

[Everleaf 541]

Some sick people but just as

said i can't help but find that idea kinda stupid and laugh...no offence to him though but really -_-

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

Lol, their daughter will probably be angry at them when she asks where here name came from. Naming a child is a thing most parents wouldn't want to miss out on. All I can say is that this is funny, strange and a weird idea.

[Mr F 1,522]

Praise our new demonic overlord!

That the apocalypse is around the corner ;-J

 

Seriously though, think of it this way:

In most cultures when a child is born, its parents just give him a name whatever they like, and the kid can't do anything about it. It doesn't matter if this name suits him or not, whether he likes it or not, or how much stupid it sounds. I see not much difference between having your parents name you Guido, or Enzo, or Malik, or Netanyahu, or Ferdinand, or Tabitha, or Pipaluk (actual Inuit name), or N!xau (where "x" is the clicking sound of the Khoisan language). I once heard about parents who named their daughter Mercedes. For most of you, this name would be as weird as many of the names from that list. ("Whaa? Who names a child like a friggin car?") But these parents lived in Argentina, where Mercedes is a decent name for a woman, it means "Mercy" in English. So the fact whether the name is OK for a kid depends on the culture you live in. Megatron might sound weird, but in Hebrew mythology there was an Angel called Metatron, and if such a name could be OK for an Angel, then why not for a child?   So maybe we should just be happy that no one named her in Base64 encoding or something like that ;D

 

If you ask me, I'd rather called the child "Junior" and let him/her decide his/her name when grown up. I like cultures where a name reflects the man and describes him (as in MLP ).

 

Edit: In some countries, by choosing a wrong name for your kid you can break the law.

Luna Doge? That's a good name.

[GoneForeverBye 184]

Damn.

 

... Do any of you even read what he said!?

 

Come on guys, I'm sure this guy's just joking and what the hell not.
 
Heck, he (kind of) says it himself:

 

​Hi, My name is Stephen and much to the disbelief of my wife, I have decided to let the internet name^* my daughter.

 
Yeah that is an asterisk, Unfortunately internet I know better than to trust you. We will ultimately be making the final decision, Alas my daughter shall not be named WackyTaco692. Sorry guys the wife wouldn't go for a free for all.

 

Inappropriate submissions may be removed -- Yeah looking at you Graeme. You know what you did.

 

 

I'm pretty sure he won't be naming his daughter Cthulhu any time soon... nor Megatron or Streetlamp or what the hell they have there. Whether it's up in good taste or not is up to interpretation, but I have little problem with this, personally. Just my opinion.

 

But hey, I can be pretty twisted sometimes so maybe my opinion doesn't count. >:]

There's been worse - there's a Toddlers and Tiaras girl called Rainbow Dash (leave the inappropriate /mlp/ jokes guys) and a boy named Twilight Sparkle.

 

Even so... I hope she doesn't get called 'Street Lamp' or 'Megatron'.

[Rockymoo 2,137]

They really should name her "Miss Pooptickler".

[Cakebandit :3 1,064]

Cthulhu AllSpark seems like a perfectly fine name I don't see whats wrong xD

[SwigglySwiggly 358]

I'm laughing so hard at the current name "Cthulhu All-Sparks Mclaughin"

My sides are hurting from all this laughing.... until I realize that the poor girl will have to live with this for the rest of her life.

[AppleGearRising 526]

Oh this is just fantastic! XD
You've compelled me to find out if there are any other cases of poor naming, i've found a rather "interesting" set here:

Who in their right mind would try to name their kid "Anal"?

[Kitsunin 41]

Who in their right mind would try to name their kid "Anal"?

If you pronounce it Annahl it sounds kind of pretty!

 

Speaking of...you all know about GoldenPalaceDotCom Silverman? 

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

The father is no doubt hoping for some fort of web fame or media coverages of the event. Rather sad if you ask me.

 

That said, everyone go vote for Applejack!

[Sir Fluffernutter 435]

While you do have a point, Sheldon is a lot better than Streetlamp

[CrimsonWeb 786]

Awwwwwwwww...You dont like are god of insanity?

Oh... my god. That... is cruel, demented and OH MY GOSH. "Cthulhu?" CTHULHU? This man does not deserve a daughter! There was this website the provedvthat people like the internet more than life. That explains everything.

[Castle Bleck 19,333]

"Cthulhu All-Spark"...?

 

That... sounds...

Poor kid I hope his or her parents realize does their child might just get bullied for the rest of their lives ;(

[Teller 360]

My father closed his eyes and pointed at a random name in the phonebook to give me my name.

 

Therefore, I see nothing wrong with this. (Except for the Cthulhu.)

 

Also I love how people intentionally forget to read the not-so-fine print:

 

Hi, My name is Stephen and much to the disbelief of my wife, I have decided to let the internet name^* my daughter.

Yeah that is an asterisk, Unfortunately internet I know better than to trust you. We will ultimately be making the final decision, Alas my daughter shall not be named WackyTaco692. Sorry guys the wife wouldn't go for a free for all.

 

Let's not make mountains out of molehills, yes?

I rofled and facepalmed SO HARD! TRULY!!!

[Flakk 65]

I hope they actually don't go through with this. I imagine that they weren't expecting names like Cthulu to get on there but that's the internet for ya.

 

It's not like we can't stop the dumb names anyway so I tried to submit Shrek to honour the ogrelord but it seems to be a blocked name which implies that they do want a proper name for their child (Thank god)

[SasQ 1,376]

Some names on that website are banned nevertheless. Several examples I found: Kamasutra, Fukushima, Scootaloo.

YOU SEE IT RIGHT: Scootaloo IS BANNED THERE! WHYYYYYYYY?!!!!!!!!!

If he wants to let the internet decide the name of his future daughter, then it's up to his own choice. But he should really consider Amelia or the other more suitable names for the sake of his daughter if he doesn't want her to get bullied or anything else.
