Baby Names - June 2007

I noticed a recent questioner asking for opinions about "Melena" for a girl. Most of those who answered thought it was a pretty name. But this is one of those times when an unusual name is actually a real word, and unfortunately the meaning is far from pretty.

I don't wish to offend anyone, but there's really no polite way to phrase this. In medical terminology, the word "melena" essentially means dark stools due to the presence of blood. All medical personnel are familiar with this -- it's very commonly used and not at all obscure. It would definitely raise some eyebrows in the doctor's office or emergency room, that's for sure, if a child with that name came in for treatment. And that's probably the least of the problems she'd have with the name.

The question was already in voting so I did not have the opportunity to point this out directly. I'm hoping that person, plus any others who are considering the name, see this before burdening a sweet little girl with it.

i said i was going to name my son sebashton

all most everyone on this website bugged out! Some of the comments were that is it uneducated and that I'm trying to make up a trendy new spelling!

hahaha jeez i'm sorry!

I found this name in a Baby name book from 1982 that my mother gave me!

I also like the name in the first place because it is a combination of two of my friends that died in A car accident in high scool. Their names were Seb and Ashton. I thought it was cute that the name had both their names in it!


Is it really that weird of a name/spelling!? Everyone is saying that he will get made fun of...? I knew a boy named Sebastien and he didn't get made fun of will it really be that big of a difference. Plus, kids don't get made fun of for their names they get made fun of for being annoying, fat, ugly etc. NOT because of their names if a kids name is.

Anyway i want to know more opinions on the name Sebashton!
Is it honestly THAT bad with the spelling and everything??

My cousins picked out Randi and Jamie for their children I guess because they were unisex names, both of them ended up being girls. I think picking out a unisex name would kind of take the fun out of picking out names. You only have to pick one name and it's ok for a boy or a girl, what fun is that?

I know I'm not the only one thinking this. Why don't people these days name their kids regular names? I see so many people on here asking advice on their kids names, and I swear it's never even a decent list they put together.

It's like, "I'm having a boy, I was thinking about naming him Hunter or maybe Sterling!" And, all I can think is, "Yeah, that's great. If you want him to be the lead character in a cheesy romance novel!" Or for girls, "Kylynn, or maybe Sierra!" And, I'm thinking, "This kid's career choices are going to be stripper or flight attendant!"

Was your name so bad? Did growing up just another Jessica REALLY get to you that bad you have to start making up new names, or spelling normal ones weird ways? Guess what, it's KAREN not CARRIN.

I have a great name, and I RARELY come across it any where else. Gwendolyn. Beautiful, classic, something I could be president with if I wanted.

I'm just saying, there will never be a president "Oasis." Don't scar your kids for life.

Claire or Klaire

My husband and I have been talking alot about what we are going to name or next child. Were not pregnant, were not even trying right now, but we have been thinking about names alot. We have 4 children and two of them have R names and two of them have two J names and my husband also has a J name. So I have decied that when we have our final child it will have a K name like mine. For a boy it will be Kaleb, but for a girl I really want the name Claire and I was sure what people thought of having it spelt with K. Thanks in advance for your opions.
