    that's slightly insane o.o;

    as a chinese person myself, i think that that kid would probably have a pretty horrible life if he was named that.

    I wonder, if naming children arabic numerals is banned in other countries like america.

    Seems to be a lame way to get attention by naming your kid something weird. I mean comon that kid isn't prince, i dont think the baby could pull it off hehe.

    It SUCKS to have a weird name. My name is starting to get more popular nowadays but when I was a kid no one at ALL had it, and no one could ever remember or pronounce my name.

    And I always got stupid little mermaid jokes [...]

    Oh, I actually like that name.

    That's not even the mermaids name. People don't pay attention!

    Oh well, at least your name isn't Wenda -_-; I've been getting 'Wendy' jokes since first grade. It's not funny - especially since i'm a boy :S

    But you couldn't say that having a weird name screwed up your life did it? I believe that was what xenophobe wrote.

    haha, well thanks. Yeah, I don't know where people get some of the things they call me. I've gotten everything from Adrienne to Ariella... And I'm like Listen people, there are no: D's, E's or L's so please refrain from adding them to my name!!

    And no, I don't suppose it's ruined my life, but a lot of times people will avoid trying to call you or pick you for something because they don't know how to say your name.

    Oh, wow. And I thought naming your child "Apple" was odd.

    Ai ta sounds cool :p

    What i find more stupid is the single-letter middle names that are popping up. Like Jamie B. Lamb. or Eric D. Watson. Those aren't abbreviations. Their middle names are B and D respectively.
