Rocket? She called her baby after a lettuce??

Why would she do that to her child?

Do people who name their kids quirky names think they are being clever or are they just really so self absorbed that they haven't thought about the impact that a name like that will have on a kid?

I had to grow up with a unusual first name for those times, now it is a common name except the spelling, got called by my second name all the time, even by family in the end.

Still dont know how mum came up with that name, she did read a lot 🙂

Two of them are okay, like (but not actually) Adelaide or Paris but one is a country and its just terrible. Poor kid!

And no I'm not going to tell you what it is 😐

Oh good.  I was thinking it might be bathtub or kitchentable.

I know someone who's daughter named her children after where they were conceived.  My friend almost cringes every time she mentions one in particular and actually rarely calls her by name at all.  It's horrible.
