Being NAMED Happy

No I would not want to be named Happy nor would I ever name my child Happy. I think that it is great to give your child an unique name, but to give them such a ridiculous one is just plain stupid. That kid is going to be made fun of, and people are going to look at them like they are silly. This isn't the 60's anymore people, stop giving kids hippie names because especially when they are adults, people are less likely to take some person named Happy, seriously. Not saying thats right, I'm just pointing out how people, and other children, can be.

Having grown up with "Fatty Patty two by four, couldn't fit through the bathroom door, so she did it on the floor... Fatty Patty two by four", I would not give my child any name that would risk them getting made fun of. That would mean anything out of the ordinary. I don't necessarily like the common names like Michael and Jennifer, but when I named my children I did my best to come up with pretty names that people couldn't mess with. My father was known for messing with his grandchildren's names, even though they were a little outrageous. He did it just to bug them. But I tried hard to come up with names even he couldn't mess with. My first daughter I named Katelyn. I spelled it that way in case she wanted to go with Katey - drop the l and the n. I tried calling her Katey but couldn't. Her name is Katelyn and that's what I call her, occasionally Kate for short. My father called her "K-K-K-Katie, beautiful Katie. You're the only one that I adore..." You know, the song. My second daughter I named Melanie Rose. My father was real quick in calling her Melrose. He didn't call her that very often though. Of course with my father passed away almost 4 years now, I am guessing these grandchildren remember their nicknames fondly. What I hate right now is everyone, and I mean EVERYONE calling my daughter Mel. So, to answer your question, no I would not name my daughter Happy, or Apple, or Coco, or Rumer. I'm just not like that.

No offense, but I think that would be a very stupid name for a child. I imagine that at a young age it could be a little cute I guess, but it would still sound a little weird. It's unique and sometimes that can make a good name for someone, but not when it's something that sounds as corny as that. In the younger years of the child's life, some people might think its cute and different, but there would still be other children that would probably make fun of the child for her name. What makes that name worse though is the fact that one day the child would be an adult with an extremely corny name. A young women with the name "Happy" just sounds like she would feel so weird about it that she would probably be sad about it, haha. It's just too odd for a women to have a name like that.
