Naming a child

Naming a child

Being a parent and a grandparent, I am finding the naming of a child can sometimes be strange. The name you give to your child is your first gift and should be made with care and love. I received this email a while back from someone who does research into names.  I agree when he said that there are some names one should never have been given. Here are some I've seen, mostly in my own research.

Fleming Biles

Pansy Pinkstaff.

Preserved Fish

Ulva G. James

Ophelia Sappington Peters

John Sample Bowels

Woody Goins

George Manley Tree

My empathy for the child is strong, but my empathy for the parent may be lacking.
