Panel of Karens pulls a Karen on being a karen

Ahh, the perks of having an unusual name. Thanks mom, for being a hippie.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Hehe

My mother was so afraid I would name my oldest something like Rainbow or Moonbeam.  Of course she still wasn't happy with the first and middle names I did select (which are pretty common names) because they were too long and wouldn't fit on any form anywhere. 

Of course she gave me a name no one can spell or pronounce...go figure.

I really wish I had named one of my daughters Rainbow.  That would've been fucking awesome. 

I gave all my sons traditionally girl names.  Mostly because I wanted girls.

The only bit of semi-originality my mother had was to put a "y" in my middle name, Jayne.


My mother, the rebel!

My mum gave me a name spelt in a fashion not used for more than 1000 years.

Thanks for gifting me with a lifetime of explaining, Mum. Thank you so bloody much.

I like to peruse the county lockup page for stories and acquaintances.  Based on frequencies of names, mammas, don't name your boy Dakota.

I was named after my dad but called by the middle name, which lead to too much explaining and a cool nickname.  These days, I love it when some smartass tells me, "Go fucking practice!  You tuning sonofabitch!"

Little does mommy dearest know that the oldest very nearly got named Rhiannon.  After fighting with my name for years I decided to go for what turned out to be the number one girl name for a couple years though I didn't know any when I had her.  To really piss her off, I call her Jennifer.  The rest of the world goes with Jenny or Jen.

My younger daughter is named Shawn...caused a lot of confusion over the years.  My youngest was going to be Alex either way...he is still pissed about his middle name (which is also his worthless father's middle name) so he simply pretends it doesn't exist.

Ex wanted to name our son Dakota...I was like...nope, not happening.  You can forget that.  If we get a dog you can name it Dakota big boy.

Rhiannon is a nice name.  I have a daughter-in-law named Rhiannon.

I still sort of wish I would have gone with that.

We do see the occasional Gypsy and plenty of Sara's, which works as well as Karen if you say it right.
