BFP 8/20/14 EDD 4/27/15 It's a GIRL!!
I have to agree with PP. I had a very hard time figuring out which was the name...
Also, this LO will have to go to school and grow up to get a job. I had a friend who had a very unique middle name and as soon as one person found out it was all over school! She was given such a hard time when she turned 18 she paid to have it legally changed! And this was only her middle name! She had a very cute first name!
Holy cow! I almost spit my drink out on my screen!!!!
Good lord, please don't name your kid any of those horrific names - they will be scarred for life.
One good tip about naming is to envision your child's name printed on a diploma or being announced at an event. Will it make people cringe or gossip? If so, it's probably not the right choice, even if you like it.

I'm confused. Is "Nike" in the running?
Now I'm interested in what your other 4 kids names are.
OK, that's definitely unique! I guess if you start looking at names, all names have meaning. One of my favorite girl names is Naomi, and it means beautiful and gentle.
As far as boy names go, I am copywriting Flash Purplepants McGee.
In all seriousness, there is some case data linking a child's name to their parent's education level, own education level, etc. Read Freakonomics. It even has a case study of a man who named one child "Winner" and one child "Loser" and it talks about the stigma those kids face because of those names. Interesting food for thought, but I am a giant nerd so I find that stuff fascinating.
AHAHA! Successssssss
I apologize, I'm super tired and grumpy today and my response came out really snarky.
At the end of the day you and your SO are the only ones who have to like the name so go for whatever you want, but you should be prepared for other peoples reactions to really unique names.
I think the D.J. might get tongue tied announcing that one
I don't think you'll ever hear the words, "Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Bonquesha Lexus Johnson."
But you just might hear, "And next up on the stage at Cheetah's, let's get our dollars out for Marquita Mercedes!"
Lexus and Mercedes are cars. The others are fine to me, although I can't figure out how you would say "Bonquesha". Is it Bon-kay-sha or Bon-kwee-sha?

Samantha 4 - 6/28/13
Or just "***". That's what her nick name would end up being one day
HAHA! Kay... lets try it this way, "Qu33f"
There...
I had no idea it was a swear word
These are ethnic or cultural names. There's nothing wrong with them (although Bonquesha is a little hard to spell, and I'm not sure how to pronounce Shenique). The names you posted in the first post aren't names, they're just words, and kind of silly words at that. If you had to define "Nike", you really don't want to use that as a name for your kid. (She wasn't a particularly nice goddess.)
Dude. I'm all for snark and fun, but I'm feeling like this is stepping over that line.
That's all fine and well, but you're not doing Shenique any favors when she applies for dental school and her application goes underneath Susan's, and Matilda's, and Chloe's. I've known more than one person who has had their name legally changed after being cursed with a "uneek" name by parents who thought they were being different and cool.
We already have a black Supreme Court Justice, his name is not uneek (it's Clarence). The President's name is not uneek either, it's actually a rather common name where he's from. This has nothing to do with race - trust me, I know plenty of white folks out here in the Inland Empire who think naming their son "Revilly" is a good idea. That poor kid is also not going to be at any advantage in adult life.
It's cute when they're 2 (well, to some people), but it's not cute anymore when they're 35.
Maybe so, but children in middle school and high school don't care where that line is. I can remember when kids would giggle if anyone said the word head... I remember Johnny Deeper jokes... and I remember kids with unusual names getting picked on badly. I am just telling it like it is!
Oh please tell me what race has to do with this. My best friend is very pale white, and her name is Chemeo (Sha-Me-Oh). Every single time someone asks her name she has to explain it, and pronounce it slowly so they can repeat it.
Don't you dare pull out your little race card because you like outrageous made up names
It's an ethnic name and in many parts of the country that isn't all that unique. Kids will find all kinds of things to make fun of, and they usually pick on the ones who are the weakest. Raise your child to be strong and confident and they'll survive the teasing.
The answer isn't to get rid of the ethnic names, but to get rid of the assshole stereotypes and judgements. I know that is probably a utopian view, but I have hopes for it.
