Choosing Weird Names For Babies

   Posted by: jude   in Home and Family

Bill had quite a shock last night to say the least when he was talking to the oldest Grandson, Nate after he and Mom had gone to visit the newest edition to the family. He was telling Pappy that they were on their way home after meeting Diesel. Of course I’m not sure how they are going to spell that, but Pappy thought it was a big joke and told Nate to put his Mommy on.

Jodi confirmed that was the name they had decided on, Diesel William. Of course Bill isn’t going to believe that til he hears it from them directly. They had talked about naming him Blade before and Bill blew up over that one, but I’m thinking Blade sounds better than Diesel which knowing how they pick names will probably be spelled with a z Diezel, but we aren’t sure yet.

Well, so long as the little guy is okay I guess we can figure out something to call him besides that. There was a strep infection(GBS) in the birth canal and they delayed the birth for 3 and a half hours while they pumped penicillin through her body and to make sure the baby had the antibiotic in his blood stream. I have no clue why they didn’t just perform a C section so there would be no chance of him getting something.

They now have to watch him closely for a month to make sure he is going to be okay. I looked GBS -group B strep up online and found a lot of disturbing information. Hopefully the little guy with this weird name will be okay. I still can’t believe a parent would actually stick a name like that on a little baby, I’m really hoping it’s a big joke and the birth certificate will have Bill and his son’s name registered there with a 4th after it.

Some of these parents are more concerned with being cutting edge than thinking about the poor kids later in life saddled with a goofy name. Though I have heard worse than Deisel! I wonder what the shortened version will be? Dee? Desi?
I hope all is well with mom and baby and the strep. Enjoy the little one.

OMG! What a stupid name! People these days are idiots for what they are naming their kids. Is it because of that actor named Vin Diesel? I’m not even sure how to spell HIS name. Ugh. Well, I guess you could call him by other fuel names to rib them–Ethel, Regular, Unleaded, etc. Ha! Ha!

Hope the baby and family are doing well. But, add me to the growing list of people who think naming your child a stupid name is uncaring, and frankly selfish. So maybe parents get extra attention when they pick a stupid name. The only thing that comes to mind when I hear that name, however it’s spelled is Thomas the Train, and Deasel Engine is the bad engine. Lame.

The child will be teased horribly because of it.

Also, I think it’s very sad to see a nice tradition come to an end. He could have been Bill the IV, now that’s classy.

Keep us posted.

I hope the little guy will be okay! Diesel is different, but I have heard of some really bad ones, like Shithead. No joke.

My cousin named his first son Colby. My dad called him Cheddar for a while. Of course my dad liked to nickname most people.

Hope all is well with the baby regardless of his name!

It appears to be a Haitian name. meaning Only god. The popularity of the name in 2009 was #77 out of 1,000,000 names and seems to be climbing. I never understand why some one would choose a strange name. The child has to live with it not the parent. Perhaps it was suggest as a memory of the Haiti earthquake. I hope as you do it isn’t the name on the BC. Wish him well and no complication from the strep.

I wonder if they will have trouble giving the kid a bath. For diesel gets really slick when mixed with water.

Hope all is well with the new baby.
It seems everyone these days want to name their kid something unique. I always see these kids going off to school and getting teased big time about their names. What’s wrong with the good old names.

Very strange name to choose; no wonder bill got so work up. But I agree with you that so long as the little guy is alright. That is what matters most.

I saved the weird names for my cats. Now knowing my children, I should have named them the weird names. They are weird people.

I hope he continues to be healthy! xx

Well, at least it’s not a name that all the other kids in school will have. And if he does even become an actor or a rock star he already has a name well suited for it. I have a good friend named Cindy Bahr whose sister is named Candy, don’t know what they were thinking.
