Naming your child after a book or something that happens to be the 'flavour of the month' is just stupid. I honestly think there should be a requirement for everyone to sit in a room with a Dr. House esque medical staff to discuss their child's name before they're allowed to fill out the paperwork. It would spare us from having a lot of silly, silly names.
I'm okay with Bella because it's the shortened version of Isabella which was a common name long before Twilight and Edward and Jacob are both common and popular without the series (seriously the english monarchy had/has a bajillion 'Edwards'). I'd like to twack the morons who name their daughter 'Renesmee' though. That's setting them up for a lifetime of issues. >_<

Salem Jones Oh, I read this... I wanted to post it, but I thought "eh". I suppous it's not too bad, as long as we don't have a "Reneseme" or however you spell it, or Cullen as a last name... they could all pass for a normal name ("Isabelle" and "Jacob"), and later on in life you could choose to tell people a different story about the origin of your name if your too ashamed to admit it. if you be my star...
Cullen is a last name, though.
And people can't exactly name the last names of their children, for obvious reasons. But I do have a friend with the last name Cullen, born way before the books.
Just because a last name is unusual doesn't mean she was named after some vampires. rolleyes
...I'll be your sky.

See, I do want kids eventually... like 5-10 years down the road, but I dunno if I want a father in my life. Lol I 've been having a shitty time with men lately, so who knows later in life.
However, I want something more traditional, like to the roots and origins of certain areas. I have names for my characters, but it depends on where the father is from or what I'm feeling before I name the child, because I want them to have some sort of actual flavor for their backgrounds in their name. I want their name to reflect who they are on a cultural level.

Yeah, stupid. Very stupid.
But tell you what, proving stupidity never really became a number one reason to stop people from what they want to do.
Especially twi-hards. They're very stubborn. Energy-draining to speak to them... bringing them into the light.

Doctor_Whiteface KingJack! Bah, who needs 'em? Kids are nothing but trouble, little walking, crying monsters. I bet this is like getting wasted one night and waking up with a Mario tattoo; the hangover lasts for a while, what you have done lasts for a lifetime. Both with naming babies and tattoos, you can remove them both with laser technology. All three, you mean: The name (by having it legally changed on federal papers), the tattoo (with removal), and the baby (abortion, which I'm mildly against) I was talking about blasting them with a laser, but full marks for your ideas. Aborting federal removals, lol.

I'm not having my own kids, I'm adopting. The population is too big as it is. So they'll probably already have their own names.
(I'm never getting married either.) xp
I hate Twilight.

*facepalm* I'd never name my kids after a celebrity or fictional character. That's just stupid and you'll regret it in the long run.
I was named after my great-great-great grandma. Unfortunately, she was an ugly woman from the photos I've seen. Mom just liked the name.
