Worst names to name your July 4th baby... - Page 2  

post #21 of 33
We have a friend whose mother was born on Xmas day...her name is Mary Christine, but goes by Chris...she married a man with the last name of Mess...hence her name is "Mary Chris Mess"
No joke. I dated her son in college and he is now my husband's best friend, LOL.
I believe anything is possible now.

I LOVE the name Sam! I woudl have liked to have named this LO Sam if she had been a boy! (But DH doesnt like Sam - he likes Samuel, and witht eh ladt name Jackson, I didn't wanna name my baby "Samuel Jackson" because fo the actor! LOL)

This thread is pretty great, btw!

I think Liberty is bad ON the 4th. Otherwise, I don't have an issue with it! (Especially with Libby is a nickname) I also think that Independence or Justice is NOT good for the 4th. Oh! And I know a girl who named her 4th baby Freedom. Um, NO!

Oh dear, this reminds me of a time about 5-6 years ago when I was in Chuck E Cheese of all places and some poor mother was screaming "Freedom! Get off of Justice RIGHT NOW! Freedom! I am not kidding, you better leave Justice alone!"



I just thought at that moment, yeah, you gotta practice yelling at your kids before you pick the name, I've never heard anything so ridiculous before.

I have a friend with two July-born babies. (Not on the 4th, though.) The girl is named July and the boy is named Sam.

I don't think it's patriotism (naming him for "Uncle" Sam) or anything like that, though. It works. I met them when Sam was a baby around 8 months, and July was 3. Their "birth month" wasn't so much a topic of conversation (except that I could figure it out because Sam's age still was measured in months, at that point)....they were just names. July's name does link her to her birth month, summertime, etc., though.

<aside> There's a woman in the June DDC who gave birth today - and the wee one's name is Liberty!

I was born on Christmas, and apparently my parents wanted to name me "Noel". Suffice to say, I'm SO GLAD that they didn't!!!

Liberty brings to mind the lyrics of the Grateful Dead's song, "Liberty," and I love them! So ornery and determined to be self-determined. "And just call me on it!"

If I was the sun, I'd look for shade.
If I was a bed, I would stay unmade.
If I was a river, I'd run uphill.
If you call me, you know I will!



Where it might "cross the line" with a July 4th birth is naming a baby girl Liberty Belle, or something.


OT of July 4th-specific names...
I was in the OB's office for a biophysical profile yesterday and they told me about twin baby girls born in town recently, and given the middle names of Cinderella and Goldilocks. (This came up because I was discussing the West Virginia branch of my family, and that my grandmother's oldest sister Fodie gave her kids a lot of interesting names....including a boy named Bunt, one daughter Ocie--after her own sister Ocie, and another daughter she named Cinderella Elizabeth. I never knew her as anything other than Elizabeth, though....and she had grandkids my age.)

Of course, I ended up naming my own daughter Ocie. Not too many of those after 1920 or so. But there's at least one young blues musician (in Arkansas) with the same name, right now. And there was that movie "The Adventures of Ociee Nash" a few years back (though it was about a girl from the turn-of-the-century, like my great aunt, not a contemporary Ocie...)

(My last name is Ringer.)

Liberty Bell
Letta Freedom

I couldn't think of any good ones for boys, though.

My husband and I were talking about this at the fireworks. (We're not due in July.) We thought that it might actually be cute to name a child: Jefferson (who wrote the Declaration of Independence and died on the 4th) or Nathaniel (Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on the 4th).
