Via Ith of Absinthe & Cookies, we find a website that should be mandatory reading for all parents-to-be: bad baby names.
I don’t care what you want to name your baby, a name is not a status symbol. [Any status attached to a baby’s name is pretty much limited to your surname, and the reputation — good or bad — you give it.] He or she is the one who will be saddled with a life-long object of ridicule. Have a little consideration, people. Use a spell-checker, I beg of you.
If you’re not Welsh and you name your child “Aelwen” I am going to find you and slap the taste out of your mouth.
And don’t get me started on apostrophes.
