Alright, alright, let’s talk about these names, you know, the ones them young folks give their young’uns. I swear, some of ‘em are just plain funny, makes you scratch your head and wonder what they were thinkin’.
Funny Names, huh? What’s the Big Deal?
I heard tell that some folks are lookin’ for names that ain’t just for boys or girls, you know, like “Pat” or somethin’. They call ‘em “gender-neutral” names, fancy talk for somethin’ that works for either one. Then there’s the old-timey names comin’ back, like somethin’ your grandma woulda been called. I reckon it’s all a circle, what was old is new again, just like them dresses they sellin’ in town, look just like the ones I wore when I was a girl, but they callin’ ‘em “vintage” now, and chargin’ a whole lot more!
- Boy Names That Make You Chuckle
Now, I seen some lists, long as my arm, of boy names that just make you wanna giggle. Some of ‘em are so strange, you can’t even say ‘em right the first time. They say there’s four hundred of ‘em, but I ain’t got time to count all that. Heck, back in my day, you had John, and Tom, and maybe a Billy or two. Now, they got names soundin’ like somethin’ you’d find in a book, not on a person. I remember hearin’ one fella named his boy “Gandalf” and I thought “Poor kid is gonna get teased somethin’ awful in school”. Some folks just ain’t got no sense, bless their hearts.
- Girl Names That Make You Smile
And the girls? Don’t even get me started. They usin’ words you wouldn’t even think to call a person. Like flowers and colors, and all sorts of things. They call ‘em “whimsical” names. I heard tell of one poor little girl named “Petal Blossom Rainbow.” Now, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? It’s like they tryin’ too hard to be different, but end up just soundin’ silly. I reckon some folks just want their kids to stand out, but sometimes it just makes ‘em a target for teasin’. Some names, you hear ‘em and you know that kid’s gonna be a comedian or somethin’. They just gotta be with a name like that.
Names with Meanin’… or Not
Some of these names, they say they got special meanin’s. Like, this name means “strong” and that name means “pretty.” But then you got names where you just know the parents were jokin’. They add letters where they don’t belong, or pick names that sound like somethin’ else entirely. Like that fella, Oliver, the one who cooks all them fancy foods on TV. He give his kids names soundin’ like somethin’ you’d shout out at a rodeo, names long as a country road. It’s their business, I reckon, but it sure does make for some good gossip. But then there’s some that just sound nice, like “Rose” or “June”. Simple and sweet, just like a good cup of tea.
Funny Names All Around, I Reckon
So, yeah, there’s all sorts of funny names out there these days. Some are cute, some are weird, and some just make you wonder what in the world folks are thinkin’. But I guess that’s what makes the world go ‘round, ain’t it? Everyone’s a little different, and their names are just one way of showin’ it. And you know, at the end of the day, a name’s just a name. It’s the person wearin’ it that really matters. But still makes me laugh, and shake my head, some of the things they come up with these days.
So What Names Are We Talkin’ About?
Well, for girls, I’ve heard some that sound right pretty, like “Artemis” or “Eden” or “Florence”. But then there are some that are a bit more… unusual, like “Sunny” or “Willow”. For the boys, I ain’t sure, most of ’em sound like car parts to me. But there’s some nice ones, I guess, like “Blair” or “Morgan.” It’s all a matter of taste, I reckon. What one person finds funny, another might find just fine.
In the end, it’s their kids, their choice. I just hope them kids don’t get teased too much in school. But hey, maybe a funny name will make them tough, teach them to laugh at themselves. Who knows? The world’s a changin’, and so are the names, I guess. Just makes an old woman like me scratch my head and smile sometimes.
