Name power

Ayden is a very cool and unusual name. I personally love it. I don't know what makes a name strong but I like unusual. My kids names are Cami and Kyra (keera). I hope that doesn't make them unusual.

It is really strange how people perceeve names. I can't tell you why we do this, but I will give you my oppinion. People pick on the weak. If you have a strange name or a so called weak name people guess how you might be and react and treat you that way.

Some names definitely have more gravitas. I think it is if they sound good, have good connotations or if there have been respected people with that name. I think it is cruel when parents give their children stupid names, it's just inviting people to make fun of them! I wonder if many people still call their children Adolf??

I think if you name a child Miracle DeQuantra or Jaquandrioun Markeevenne (Two actual names) then expect your child to be proficient in asking "Do you want fries with that?" I'm a juvenile intake officer. I deal with delinquents day in and day out. Yes, some of the kids I deal with have nice normal names like Jennifer or Matthew, but the vast majority of names are so jumbled and butchered that I don't know how to even begin to pronounce it. And keep this in mind -- no president or senator will ever be named Sharpye LeShitsta (an actual name of a child I've dealt with).
