Thats child cruelty if you ask me!! lol

I find it bizarre that the judge specifically states how tragic Violence is but not No. 16 Bus Shelter!! I'd rather be called Violence!

You've got to question what these people think they're doing though, are they purposefully setting out to alienate their children from themselves?

It's very fun to joke about, but to actually do it is another thing.
Being named after a city or a place is lovely under the right circumstances, but just the number of a bus shelter? It makes the child sound like some random object. I wonder if it makes them feel like some random object, as well?
It's hard, though, because there are cultural traditions that name babies after events or totems or objects from nature. A direct translation into English might produce a very odd name that does have thoughtful and loving origins.
It sounds like some of those names in the article were just a joke, though. Is your child just a joke, then? The kid has to answer to and explain that name for the rest of their life. Imposing your sense of humour on another person's everyday life is a bit unfair, I think.

OMG i joke sometimes that we should have called our kids satan or shitbag, but i never would have done it and i cant believe people do acctually use names like that.

Someone wanted to name their child Sex Fruit?!

Talula Does The Hula From Hawai?

Now I would laugh seriously if there wasn't some poor child in the world with actualy carrying this name!

Now,thats sheer selfishness on the parents' side.What are they doing,trying to prove a point? I guess it's easy 'rebelling' when the damage isn't done to you!

Those poor poor children

I feel so sorry for the little girl who has had to live with that name for 9 years.

They had an article on good morning america's website a while back that used census data to show some really horrible names people actually used. I can't remember most but I definitely remember this one... Ima Whore.

That poor child.
