Naming a child...

Do you think naming your son "Naveed", or your daughter "Hope", would be going too far?

It would be neat, but if people ask you where the name came from...

You : "Uh yeah this band I liked 10 years ago had this wicked song!!! And I totally wanted to honour Our....uh...Our Girl...something! Yeah!"

Your child: "My geeky parents named me after this old song that they really liked....God how lame. I've never even heard it"

I think it would be cool but I'd use a different name for my kids like

BRING BACK THE SUN for a boy and MIDDLE OF YESTERDAY FOR A GIRL

and and and!!! OUR TIME IS FADING for a hermaphrodite!

Naveed would be too much... but you could get away with Hope.

yes, Naveed is too much. Hope is already a name so you could use that.
my favorite picks=
boy: aiden girl: elysia

If you really like the name Naveed, like for the name, then it's completely fine, if you're doing it just cause it's from OLP then that's too much.

you could always lie and say your great uncle thrice removed was a hugely inspirational man who just happened to be named Naveed.

Ya but, not every name for a person has to already exist. A lot of the names today would have been considered excentric 50 years ago. Someone wanted something unique and used something that's uncommon or they just made a name up. So I think it's perfectly fine to use something out of the ordinary. Who knows it could become common some day.

yeah. maybe in the next generation the name "Naveed" will replace the name "Michael."

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 7/1/2003, 7:36 am

Are you saying the name Michael is common?

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 7/1/2003, 7:37 am

cause I've never heard it before.

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 7/1/2003, 7:38 am

I mean before you mentioned it.

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 7/1/2003, 7:38 am

Before you mentioned it, I hadn't heard it.

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 7/1/2003, 7:39 am

Before.

sandsleeper · Post by **sandsleeper** » 7/1/2003, 7:47 am

yeah. almost as common as ludwig.

Funny... I hear Ludwig all the time. 13 people in my family are named Ludwig. The 14th's name is Gus. He's my pet lightbulb. But... I think Gus is sick. He used to light up with joy when he saw me after I'd get home from work really late, but now...

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 7/1/2003, 7:52 am

Oh, but it gets worse... I tried to make him eat... so I jammed a spoon full of ravioli into his face and he shattered... I tried to glue him back together, but I don't know if I glued his privates on his forehead or his elbow to his ankle... Poor gus... :cry:

Where did the title Naveed originally come from, anyway?

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 7/1/2003, 8:14 am

One of Raine's best friends from High School (Ed) decided to join the Navy. Raine and all his friends used to always make fun of the Navy because it had a reputation for hosting a lot of homosexuals. So, when Ed told everyone that he wanted to join the Navy, they all would bug him and laugh at him and call him "NAVY ED"

And Ed was actually from The east coast, like Newfoundland or was it Nova Scotia?? Anyway, he'd yell back at his friends "DON'T CALL ME NAVY ED!!!" but because of his accent it would come out as "NAVEED"

So, eventually they called him Naveed, when they got done bugging him of course. It just kinda became a nickname.

Lando, are you pulling my leg?
