Thumbs down: Frank Lickliter 2008-01-20 22:40:00 I only just realized that I've been super nice lately, and there's been no Thumbs Down posts in ages. So I had a little hunt around, and found this:Golfer, Frank
Lickliter welcomed twin boys, Storm and Steele.-lickliter.htmlIt seems that parents of twins often seem to get it wrong.Grade: C-Comments: There are three major problems with these names.Problem one: For twins, they're too similar. Twins already have issues with identity and being similar, and giving them similar names just exacerbates this. It also leads to problems when calling a name across the house and neither child quite catching which one is being called.Problem two: They're so unusual that they will lead to teasing and don't give the child room to grow in whatever field they want. For example, can you really imagine withou

Naming after... Colors 2008-01-10 21:54:00 There's a post I did quite early on, about naming your child after countries.I've decided to follow on, and do a "naming after..." series.A lot of people think choosing a random thing to name your child after is wrong, stupid or tacky. Personally, I'm not saying its either right or wrong, but it's certainly very interesting. Any name can be okay, as long as your sensible in choosing in it.This post is going to be about naming your child after colors, some color names, such as Scarlet(t), are becoming quite popular, so this may be a popular path in the future. I think that using a color as a middle name is pretty neat, especially if it has special meaning, for example, an elder siblings favorite color, or if a child has blonde hair, a name with a meaning of 'yellow' or 'golden' can be sweet Read more:Naming

Nicknames for Boys. 2008-01-04 22:21:00 After my article on nicknames for girls, its time to delve into the world of nicknames for boys. In my earlier post, I went over the main reasons why parents give their children names with nicknames, and I'll re-hash (In other words copy and paste ;) ) the categories I made up:1. Having a cute pet name for the child .2. Being able to give their child a very formal name, but having something more cute and young or childhood or casual occasions.3. Being able to choose a long name.4. Having a more unique nickname for a child with a common name, so they're not Charles B or Charles W but Arlo.5. For when the child is a Junior or are named after someone who they'll have close contact with to avoid confusion.I'll give my favorites, ideas and examples for each 'reason' for giving a nickname, below
