You've got to be kidding me. This is hilarious.

I do love Ross and Natalie though. Could have came up with those on my own. I was going to be Ross if I were a boy. Since I was a girl, it's my middle name instead. My 17-year old pregnant mother figured it out all on her own. It's a family name.

The woman that paid money to have her baby named Jackson got ripped. Jackson is everywhere.

ColdChef--that is awesome. Where were you when I was trying to name my newest?

Wish I'd thought of that. A very clever business idea.

Rich, insecure people will pay for just about anything.

Here's one site about the baby-namer. She appears to be all over the web with her talents.

I'm surprised a woman in the Western suburbs of Chicago is getting paid to suggest "Jackson" as a baby name. That's a local racial epithet. Fallen out of favor, to be sure, but still known amongst the older folks.

Some people have too much money. I'll name your baby for $10 and come up with a great story about the origins as a bonus for free!

I wonder if anyone has ever named their baby "Epithet".

Parents name baby after ESPN.

Also, Chevrolet.

I recall reading somewhere that some poor kid got named Corvoissier!

I know one of Maryanna's daughters - she's my sister's age and they went to camp together for several years. Her name back then was Katie Kowalkiewicz but she became Kaytey Korwitts in high school.

$350 and they came up with Ross and Natalie?

I love the story about how Dweezil Zappa got his name...

"When Dweezil was born, Gail decided to have 'natural childbirth.' At that time, the only hospital in Los Angeles that would allow this process to occur with a Dad in the delivery room was Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital. When it was time for the Big Delivery, we experienced a slight delay - we had to fill out a mass of papers before they'd let us in, riddled with irrelevant questions like: 'What religion are you?' Gail looked at me and said, 'What do we put?' I said, 'Musician.' That was the first thing that upset the admitting nurse. The second thing to spoil her afternoon was when she asked: 'What are you going to name the child?' Gail said, 'Dweezil.' Gail's got a funny-looking little toe which had been the source of family amusement so often that it had acquired a 'technical name': it wasn't really a toe - it was a 'Dweezil.' I thought then, and continue to think today, that Dweezil is a nice name. Fuck the nurse if she didn't like it. The nurse pleaded and pleaded with us not to name the child Dweezil. Labor pains and all, she was going to make Gail stand there unless we gave her another name to put on the form. I couldn't see letting Gail suffer just to argue the point, so I rattled off an assortment of first names of guys we knew: IAN (Underwood) DONALD (Van Vliet) CALVIN (Schenkel) EUCLID (James 'Motorhead' Sherwood). As a result, Dweezil's original birth certificate name was Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa. The nurse thought that was okay. In spite of this harrowing experience, we always called him Dweezil. He was five years old when he discovered the real names on his birth certificate. Dweezil was very upset, and demanded that steps be taken to rectify this tragedy. We hired an attorney and had his name legally changed to Dweezil."
