[FGII-XR6]

just saw this and was speachless http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/w...ame-baby-like/

[84xespac]

We named her Like because it's modern and innovative

WTF is modern or innovative about the word "like".
More like we are dumb a##'s and have no imagination.

I Like it! boom, boom!

in 16 years or so, this girl goes surfing, and comes a cropper - a guy on the beach says "Like, wow, wipeout". LOL

[Geez Louise]

At least they didn't call her Apple or Heavenly Hirani Tigerlily or Moonunit!

I guess they really Like their kid!

And in response to your question...yes the world has gone mad!

A mate's cousin worked at the Census office overseas (Philippines) several years ago, and it's amazing how many people had silly/ridiculous names. Especially one poor guy who was unfortunately named "Circumcision".

Who in their right mind calls a kid Flange?
That's just plain cruel...

As for Moxie Crimefighter, Satchel, Rocket, Moon Unit, Pilot inspektor, Jermajesty, Audio Science, Calico and Camera...I guess it ensures their kids get noticed later on...just because you've got money, doesn't mean you've got brains.

The story goes the dad was welding the flanges on his turbo manifold before he did the deed with his missus the last time before she fell pregnant. Suffice it to say, they both haven't cottoned on to the colloquial meaning of the word hehehehe.

[JG65TE]

[JG65TE]

They took aussie names.Cant remember buntanings name but buntakane took Kenneth. The principal said farewell to buntakane and welcome to "kenny vilysak" . say it fast.
