North isn't any more stupid a name than:
Norbert, which means north bright.
Norman, which means northman.
Norris, which means northerner.
Norton, which means north town.
Norwood, which means north wood.
Also, here are some other names:
Caesar, means hairy.
Rebecca, means snare or to be bound.
Desmond, means South Munster.
Winona, means first born daughter.
Courtney, came from the word curtus, which means short.
Irving, meaning green water.
When you get down the the basic meaning of names, you realize that some of them have really odd meanings. Also, in China, they tend to name babies after words in their current language. You can have a person named, 桃 Táo (peach) 快乐 Kuàilè (happy). Surname peach, given name happy.
Also, why is it that nobody seems to give a s**t about people being named Summer, Autumn, Tuesday, Georgia, Carolina, Virginia, or Princess, but people will complain and b***h about people naming their kids equally thoughtful (or thoughtless depending on your perspective) names?
Unless someone purposely named their kid Shitfaced Schlong or something like that, nobody has any goddamn right to b***h about what someone names their kid.
If you want to b***h about Kim Kardashian, talk about how she has no talent and is boring. Don't b***h because she named her baby North. Not even the family name West makes it stupid.
You seem to forget that Michael Jackson named both of his sons Blanket. And Princess is weird as ********. You are setting that child up for expectations only to shatter them in about five years. When I watched Precious all I could think was that her name was ironic. I'd like to name my child Anemone, but I don't want to destroy her spirit before she knows how to spell. Plus, studies show that giving your kid weird names is detrimental in the job market. The only locations that don't strike me as odd are the ones that were originally named after people.
What makes me angry isn't the name, it's the lack of forethought and caring for their own children. They knew North West was stupid, but because they're rich they don't care. That and the news will sensationalize it so much that they'll be able to make money off their "progeny" before she even thinks about anything but milk. It's their own little cash calf.
I really don't care about Michael's kid's name being Blanket, especially since he's not the first person to name a child something that means blanket or something similar. When children insult other children for having odd names, it's the thanks to the parents of children who make the insults. Apparently these parents never taught their children to not be douchebags.
If the name North West doesn't upset you in anyway, then how are these parents being thoughtless with their children, since the name seems perfectly fine to you? Wait, so they know North West is stupid? That contradicts with your previous statement about the name not bothering you. If it's stupid, why doesn't it bother you? I'm sorry, but I'm confused.
As for the job market, well that's just something one must overcome. Potential employers will discriminate towards you for everything, from knowing how to spell, to looking a certain way, to age. Some of the reasons why they discriminate is unfair, some of the reasons are legal, some vice versa. By the way, they usually discriminate against names they can't pronounce well, or sound "too foreign." North is a word in the English language.
And let me state again, non-celebrities give their kids odd names or names with odd meanings all the time. Just because Kim is a celebrity that doesn't mean she doesn't have the same right as any other parent to do the same. If one insults a celebrity because they named their kid something odd, one probably needs to consider something else to insult. It's not a new thing. It's actually quite an ancient tradition to name one's kid something unique and even odd. There are some old Hebrew/Biblical names that have weird meanings. The name Adam actually means man. You might as well name a kid Man, because it has the same meaning. Asa means doctor in Hebrew. A king of Judah had that name. It was the same as naming your kid Doctor. Caleb means dog. Seriously. There was a guy out there somewhere named Dog in his language. Deborah means bee. Ophrah means fawn, as in the animal.
On a lighter and slightly unrelated note, I saw on Say Yes to the Dress, a woman named Aphrodite married someone named Achilles, and she assumed that meant they were meant to be. I thought Achilles and Aphrodite never even had an affair in Greek Mythology, unless I'm wrong. If the guy was named Adonis, Ares, or even Hephaestus I'd understand what she meant. xP
