Answer 1

I think that if you don't like kids, or worse yet think they are some kind of accessory, then you shouldn't make them.



For the boy especially- so you're not sure he's gonna get hassled enough at school and you wish to guarantee it?



And think about the last time you were in line somewhere only to get to the get to the counter and find some idiot whose only phrase is a muttered "bah duh ba duh" and he'll have to explain how to spell it every time.

Answer 2

1. Tinkerbell - Girl- I actually find it cute! It does have literary roots, so it isn't without history...

2. Nemo - Boy- Classical name, but you're basically naming your kid 'no-one' and comparing him to a clown fish.

3. Sailor - Boy- I don't see much wrong with it... other than the 'Sailor Moon' and 'Heyy there, Sailor' teasing potential, it's not much different to Mason etc.

4. Buzz-Bee - Boy- Awful.

5. Zed - Boy- Awful.

6. Blade - Boy- Indulgent and terrible.

7. Zico - Boy- Eh?

8. Diesel – Boy- As in petrol?

9. Buttercup- Girl- Awww, cute but awful

10. Bliss – Girl- Ugghhh.

Answer 3

Well I wouldn't use Tinkerbell, Nemo, Buzz Bee (??), Zed, Zico, Diesel or Buttercup because all of the names are very awkward. The kids could get picked on. But Sailor, Blade and Bliss aren't as bad.

Answer 4

Tinkerbell- Poor child.

Nemo- If it didn't have the movie association, it probably wouldn't be as terrible, but of course everyone will just picture a fish.

Sailor- Honestly, as a GP only, I love this name.

Buzz-Bee- Again, poor child.

Zed- Not bad. Definitely not all that unique. It's not my style but I see the appeal.

Blade- A bit too violent for my taste.

Zico- Like Zed, not my style but I see the appeal. Could be kinda cool.

Diesel- I like the sound of it, but isn't gas called diesel? That's a bit strange.

Buttercup- Too wordy, not good.

Bliss- Noooo, stripperish.

Answer 5

Tinkerbell- I think of the Disney fairy. I hate this name! It's not a name at all!

Nemo- I think of the Disney fish Nemo

Sailor- I think of like a sailor on a boat

Buzz-Bee- I think of Buzz lightyear from Disney. People must really like Disney!!

Zed- I think of the letter zed or z

Blade- I think of a sword, or something sharp

Zico- I don't know what to think of this name

Diesel- I think of the gas diesel

Buttercup- I think of a flower, a fairy, and I think of really really girly

Bliss- I think of happiness, and bliss. I think of a hippie child also

Answer 6

I like Bliss and Sailor, although I'm not sure Sailor is actually usable, but I like the sound of it.

The others... Well, I'm sorry for anyone with those names. Of course some like Tinkerbell are cute for a little girl, but for a woman... Just no.

Answer 7

Honestly most of them actually do sound like nicknames...



Tinkerbell : makes me think of the fairy... I wouldn't name my kid that.

Nemo : Nemo is acceptable but not my favorite,

Sailer : eh not really my taste but I think Sail for a boy or girl is cute (:

Buzz-Bee : hell to the no. I pity the kids who would get named that.

Zed: kinda like with Nemo, it's acceptable just not my taste.

Blade : I really like this name, it's unique but not way way to out there.

Zico : no no no no no no no

Diesel : maybe it will be popular in about 10 years just not now.

Buttercup : haha makes me thing of the power puff girl... Not really acceptable for a human, maybe a dog or a hamster?

Bliss : I actually like this name. It's cute and blissful (;

Answer 8

I actually went to school with a girl called Bliss. That is the only one I don't mind. I could see it being used as a middle name.



The rest are awful, and like Mughain said, it just screams "try hard to be unique" but not too bright at the same time.

Answer 9

Nemo is a legitimate name and, while it is a tad babyish, it's still a pretty good name, along with Sailor (looks terrible on a girl, though). The rest, however, scream "WE WANTED OUR BABY TO HAVE A EUGHNEIKE NAME BUT WE LACKED THE INTELLIGENCE REQUIRED TO PICK A PROPER ONE!" I mean, Diesel? Tinkerbell? Really? THINK OF THE CHILDREN! DX

Answer 10

I have to laugh because when we were naming our daughter (6 yrs ago) I saw the name Buttercup in the baby book and thought to myself-who would honestly consider that name.



I am not trying to be rude...I just do not feel like any of these names you have picked out are actually names that you should give to your children. Sorry.

Answer 11

Good Names i think i would call my child if a boy Zed or if a girl Bliss

Answer 12

nicknames ok

Answer 13

Kill me now.
