It is all well and good choosing a name for your darling newborn that revolves around the latest fashion or trend or just being so lazy and giving your darling little one initials or what ever but PLEASE remember that your darling little one, all too quickly will be off to school and then be taller than you could ever imagine and they won't thank you for being stuck with a really stupid name!! I work in a primary school and some of the names we see on the school registers year after year are enough to make you cringe!! Children are not stupid and please before you saddle your darling infant with something that makes you go 'wow, that's original, unique etc etc etc' remember that one day they have to go out into the real wide world and sadly sometimes the real world can be not a nice place to be, the play ground can be a tough place. Just a word of warning........

I could see 'Bumface' for a boy. Maybe not a girl.

What would you say was a really stupid name? Surely it's a matter of personal taste, unless parents want to call their children 'Bumface' or something.
