Another factor that I believe causes poorly chosen names in this society is that there is a time frame in which we must register the name of our kids. I heard once that in ancient cultures, it would often take a long time for a child to be named, as the parents would watch the child, look at their temperament and personality and then choose a name that suited what they observed. I like my name, and through most of school I would get annoyed with and sometimes ignored people who didn't use my proper, full, name. I'm not so rigid about it now, but now in the adult world, not many people try and use a nick-name for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she posts on FaceBook that her and Jesus took the family to do this and that it just makes my mind go a little crazy. I agree, it shouldn't be done.
