Kids can be cruel, and with the name game getting stranger by the minute, playground teasing is likely to get even worse. Remember all those years of taunts–plain Jane, Josie grossie, skinny Jimmy or wacky Jackie? Now imagine your name is Fifi, Pixie or Peaches!

Hollywood’s penchant for quirky names has certainly reached new heights. What started with Apple and Coco has quickly become Audio Science, Jermajesty and Pilot Inspektor.

If you know a mom-to-be who is planning to jump on the crazy baby name bandwagon and you absolutely cannot keep your objections to yourself, take a tactful approach to the issue. You can playfully remind her that kids in school used to call her “Scary Mary” and then ask what torment little Keyboard Sunshine will receive. Or, you could simply show her these beautiful birth announcements and remind her that her new baby will have a sparkling style all its own, whether she names him plain old Jason or Oatmeal Denim!

Can the name you choose for your baby influence his or her personality? According to expert nameologist Maryanna Korwitts, “Names are much more than mere words of identification. A name is a thing of great power. It not only molds who we are, it speaks of who we will become.”

She suggests that names play an important role because each one has an innate, subliminal, energetic level or vibration which impacts perceptions as well as traits and talents. Read this fascinating website before you choose a name from a book or a hand-me-down favorite from a relative.
