is karma an evil name to give to a boy?

[talktalktalk]

baby's daddy came up with the name karma as it's made up of the start of his name and the end of mind ( sweet i think )we also decided this woiuld be o.k for a boy and also a girl. however when i told my mum this, she didn't seem keen and pointed out that a boy with this name would get picked on in school! now i don't know weather to look for another name or not. any thought on this? all opinions welcome.xx

Hope your surname is not Sutra

[CauldronsTrulyReign]

Not keen sorry.

[CauldronsTrulyReign]

What would it be with the start of your name and end of his?

[CauldronsTrulyReign]

hahaha i'm wishing my last name was sutra now :) it's a mix of karl and gemma.xx

[Stokey38]

I actually know a Karma and although I thought it was very weird before I met him, I think it suits him and like it now.

[Bunbaker]

Sorry. I don't care for "made up" names. My first thought was Karma Chameleon and then Karma Sutra. Children may not know but adults will titter if you choose this name (and teachers will think what the...!)

[greenzebra]

if its a middle name it doesnt matter really does it? He wont be registered at school by his full name and if he is the rest of the class wouldnt know. Middle names are supposed to mean something to me, not just a name you like so I like it.

I knew a girl called Nala she was named after her Dad Alan. Seamed cool.
I think the reason is sweet and unusal so why not.

[greenzebra]

was trying to say use it as a middle name

[steamedtreaclesponge]

I get that it's a mixture of your two names but everyone who meets your son will assume either that you're massive hippies or that he was conceived on a yoga retreat...

[LydiaWickham]

Nope - he'll hate you for it. Can you imagine a grown man applying for a job as an accountant with that name?

Stick to real names, although it would be a cute middle name.

[AnyoneButLulu]

Middle name only (boy or girl)

[happyforthemostpart]

wouldn't say it's evil but people will judge him....

and he will spend his whole life saying "yes, karma, like the karma sutra"..... spare him the abuse!!

[Bunbaker]

I don't think people will judge him, but they will judge the parents.

[AttilaTheMeerkat]

No, bad idea all round. Its a word with connotations applied to it, don't do that to him.

[ShirelyKnottage]

No. It's awful.

For either sex. He/She will spend their lives saying "Yes, yes, Karma as in What Goes Around Comes Around, yes like Karma Chameleon, yes I am a calm person, HA HA No I don't like Chicken Khorma, "

[greenzebra]

I didnt think Karma Sutra (obvisously mn's have sex on the brain )
I thought of Karma as in good karma bad karma.

[babynamesgrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

it would be bad karma to give a name like that to an innocent child

[gnushoes]

Yes, it's evil. There are plenty of real names out there.

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

Stupid idea.

Satan's got a nice ring to it but I wouldn't lump it on a child.

[talktalktalk]

maybe it's time for are think, it's so hard to think of a cool name noone else has....better start brain storming!! so far i have 1 boy who's name i got from red dwarf another boy with a name from buffy and my little girl has a buffy name, so maybe i'll stay with a sifi name.xx

[tryingtoleave]

'oh no, hear comes karma!' is what I think of

[MaMattoo]

I know two men called Karma. It's a popular boy name for Buddhist people. It means 'positive wishes' apart from other things. 'karm' (silent a) also means duty.

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

Call him Asa. Asa is a cool name but not twatty.
