Baby name opinion....

Patricia Patrowicz?

Unsound,
You just made me laugh my ass off :-).

I knew a Candy Kane. I went to school with an Arabic kid whose name I can't remember how to spell but was pronounced: Fuckre Magrabe. In the same class with him was another kid named: Joe Conti. There used to be a teacher in my old High School named: Ephelia Dick.
I'm starting to feel like I'm in an episode of Beavis & Butthead.

the names lemonjello and orangejello are a part of the urban legend of many, many u.s. hosptals with maternity wards, esp. larger facilities/university hospitals.

consider lanugo or fontanel for a girl's name, meconium for a boy, though not audio related.

and start the future therapy fund asap ;-)

Of course you should name your daughter Stereo. Why wouldn't you. I mean, after all, it’s about you and not your daughter - right?

I named my second daughter 'Chanel' after the perfume Chanel No 5. Friends call her Channel ;-) because it is tough to pronounce Chanel.
If I had third daughter I would have called her Coco or Fendi.

Some other faminine names suggestions: Harmony, Melody, Tune, Viola, Harpsi, Guitar, Frequency, note, and just ....... 'Music'

Hey, if we're trading odd, actual names, my favorites have to be from a Cuban friend who grew up in Miami. He went to school with kids named: Usnavy, Malebaby, Femalebaby, and twins named Lemongello and Orangegello. (Just think about pronouncing them with a Cuban accent).

Finally, (not in Miami) there was the gal from South Africa who name is pronounced, with rough phoenitics: shə-thee-ed. Pretty, actually. Spelled: Shithead. Much less great.

Venus Cassiopée
... which would imply stereo as "transcribed" by French manufacturer Venus Acoustics, so you can do it and not get caught 8^)

Of course, their even better flagship speaker is the Venus Cybela, but you don't want to risk your daughter bearing any resemblance with those
Cybela

I may have another girl now just to name her "Cadence".

I really like that name.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet:

Police years ago pulled over a young woman who rushed through an amber traffic light. "I'm about to arrest this person right now," the irritated officer radioed to a dispatcher. "She's telling me her name is Marijuana Pepsi Jackson."

You can read the whole story here.

A couple of others worth mentioning (just imagine some poor mom, immediately post-delivery, in a drug-induced haze):

Episiotomy

and last, but not least,

Meconium

(If you're not familiar with these terms, look 'em up--it's worth it!)

I'll definitely second Mapman:

"Stereo" keeps sounding better and better...

But please, for the love of God: DON'T DO IT!

"Stereo" keeps sounding better and better.......

Hospital story 2: new mom fills out the form, thinks female' is pretty, you guessed it.
Hospital story 3: junkie mom is pissed that her new baby is keeping her from a fix, in an effort to spite the baby, names her: lesbian.

My wife was in the hospital to deliver our first child. The lady sharing the room overheard the doctor use the term, "placenta" and thought it so pretty, she named her daughter that. True story!! They walk among us!

I work at the local airport and have seen some doozies. Two that stand out are:

Snowhite(last name)and...Marvel Hammer!(I kept the luggage tag as proof).
If I had another girl(I have two[Morgan and Terran])she'd be Kapena Lea.

" Or perhaps Twizler because and female child who survived puberty with a name like that would be bound to be a force of nature. "

So if its a boy then, just name him "Sue".

My brother vowed as a child to name his first daughter, if a daughter, "Felony." Cause it's pretty. Or perhaps "Twizler." Because and female child who survived puberty with a name like that would be bound to be a force of nature.

Now that he's actually on the verge of spawning (next month), he's thought better of it. A wise decision.

And then there was the friend who announced that he'd lick the "boy problem" for his daughter proactively by just not potty training her. Cause yuck, who would want to date that? Thing is, some one will -- and, by being "clever," you've guaranteed it's going to be the "wrong" guy....

I'd reconsider, personally.

Stereo is still a better name than:(translated) "TheArtistPreviouslyKnownAsPrince".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I must tell everyone I had so many belly laughs reading all your responses! Thanks so much for so many thoughtful responses. I couldn't believe the volume of interest in this thread! By the way my wife agrees with the consensus, but even she sometimes automatically refers to her daughter to be as Stereo. I think this "pet" name works ok in the womb but real life is a different story. So here my quest for this name ends. Thanks all for your thoughts. Some of your suggestions are now on our list!

How about Audiogon? Only kidding, don't even think about it!!!

Summer Phoenix named his son Indiana August. Frank Zappa's kids are Dweezil and Moon Unit.

And there are more: http://www.comeunity.com/parenting/parenting-articles/celebritynames.html

How about the middle name, Channel?

Is "Stereo" your second choice? Because "Seven" is allready taken!

Bob

Why do people even think of doing things like this?

Don't you realize that naming a child and naming a pet are very different things?

Can't you think of any better reason to name your child than the way the name makes YOU feel? Or the way it sounds to YOU?

Some reason that may actually have something to do with who SHE is?

That's right: It's not about you, it's about HER. (Hard as that may be to believe.)

Since you asked. NO!

Only if you change your name to idiot. Just kidding, I have a daughter-in-law named Tomorrow and she HATES her name. Names last forever, give it some thought. She will however, hopefully, be the joy of your life.

Call her Linn

Sooner or later your wife will suggest a name and it will just sound right, whatever it is, till then keep throwing them out.

You'll get tired of the name before she's three. Start with "The Baby Name Bible" by Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz and go from there.

Stwange. Vewy vewy stwange.

I'm impressed. Some of you guys picked some respectable names that aren't at all weird. I guess that "Rack" or "8 Track" are out then?

Why?

Think twice (no pun intended).

I do like Cadence very much! Classy!

Unless she is a twin then go with "mono'

I was going to suggest you name her Symphony but then she might get a nickname Phony. That wouldn't be good. How about Harmony?

My wife named our first boy Shanachie because she heard it on the radio and liked the sound. As you may know, it is the name of a record label. On further investigation (after naming him) we learned that it means "Tribal Historian" or storyteller in Gaelic.

So good names are all around. Listen for one and you will know it when you hear it. Keep in mind that it needs to work well with your last name. If its Hoar, don't name her IMA.

I compromised with my wife and named our daughter Jasmine
so I could nickname her after my "passion", Jazz!

LOL, I just told my wife about your idea. She laughed and said it reminded her of the time she had parents who named their two daughters after their passion: "Margarita" and "Tequila."

Congrats!!!

'Cadence' is a good name. It means 'flow of sounds'

My wife has taught first grade for thirty years and she's seen more than her share of "creative" names. Your proposed name would definitely be the kind of name that gets a kid tagged as unusual, which isn't usually what most kids want. Fitting in and feeling accepted is what the majority of kids (and adults) want. If she wants to demonstrate her free spirit and individuality, she'll find her own way. If you insist though, I'd vote for one of the French nouns for stereo, "Chaine" (with a circumflex accent on the i.) Don't know what a native French speaker would think about it though.

STEREO...no way...mabey if it was the 60's and you were a Hippie living in no where man's land in a Hippie Community.

Sophia......after the nice sounding tube amps...congrats!

only if you have a son named 'mono' and save your money for a children's therapist down the road.

I doubt "Vinyl" or "Tube" would be considered ideal :)

I really like EveAnna, very unique name and happens to be the president of Manley Labs. She's a really cool lady, quirky and has a great sense of humour.

Fidelity......if you must

Your friends must really respect you, but don't do this to her. Don't mistake an unusual name with a ridiculous one.

I would not name my daughter stereo--her middle name is Alexandra but not named after any equipment--take your time and find a name you really like --remember it will be with her an entire lifetime--Elizabeth may be on to something about hating you even from the womb--think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first-- also if she was conceived in a car don't use that name either ie. prefix --toyota--:)

"Rig" is easier to say and sticks with you. Call her Rig. ;)

Don't name your child that. Your Daughter has to go through life with that name and not you.

if it were twins, a boy and a girl then Sterea and Stereo.

I hope you don't try for quints just to use.......yeah you got it.....surround sound LF, etc.

On the other hand, I think Seven is still up for grabs!
(Unless George Costanza finally got married and had a kid!)
:-)

Oh and NO, don't do it!
Name your kid something normal, and not:
Dweezel, Moon Unit, China, Apple, Scout, Rumor, Adolph Hitler, or any of the other lunatic names that the Rock N'Roll and/or Hollywood crowd, (and others), have come up with lately!

Do your kid a favor and let them have a normal childhood.

(Okay, Apple is not so bad, but two thumbs down on the rest.)

A number of years ago a guy named his son "Bryston". Anyways, he told the Bryston people about it at one of the annual shows, the CES I think. He got a free integrated amp out of it! Good stuff.

Hmmm... so name your daughter "Alexandria" and then have a talk with the people at Wilson! It's better than "Watt Puppy".
