My father is into genealogy and traced a branch of the family back to the Mayflower (for realz).
We have a Puritan ancestor named Wrestling Brewster.

Weird but cool

They call him X, although Musk apparently already has a son Xavier.

There was a set of boy/girl (not Jewish) twins who lived a street away from my childhood home. The boy was named Heaven and the girl was named Hell. They had ânormal soundingâ middle names. When asked why they were named what they were, they said that their mother who was niftar when they were very young was âa bit interestingâ with names. They now are called by their middle names.

A relative worked in ny in the dept of education. On the computer. And saw many interesting names. The worst one was phuck.
Another name was pronounced shi-thead.
I apologize for the language.

There was a baby born in India last year named Lockdown. Another baby was named Sanitiser. Another couple had twins and the babies were named Covid and Corona.

Thought of this one right away. Mom changed her legal name to Grimes so ....

Yup! He was born in 1614, so thatâs a lot of time for a descendant to join Klal Yisrael đ

Names fascinate me but whatâs wrong with naming your baby Rachel or whatever? Charlotte if youâre feeling fancy. People are so nuts. Why the need to make stuff up?? Have some rachmanus on your children! |
I'm really intrigued by the woman who named her baby Gesher.
