JonBenet? Anyone else think that name is great?

Question

With all this JonBenet Ramsey stuff on tv I've been thinking that name is starting to grow on me. Anyone else thing JonBenet is a cool name? I like it but I wouldn't name my kid that because that would be weird. What about other names with that kind of tone/sound to them? I kinda like something like BretSoleil or LivRene. What do you think?

BretSoleil is pronounced Bret-So-Lay by the way.

Answer 1

i'm sorry - i don't want offend you - but i find those names simply awful. I find them terribly pretentious and contrived.

Jonbenet Name Meaning

Answer 3

I agree that it is a unique and cute name- a while ago (many years) I heard her mother on the news talking about how they came up with the name...it was interesting but I can't remember anymore. I also agree that it isn't a name you would want to name your child now, people would always associate your daughter with a murdered little beauty. I like the idea of two first names, but both of your names rhyme with JonBenet. If you want to give your child two first names don't let them rhyme with JonBenet.

Answer 4

JonBenet is in no way a cool name. It is a horrible name to give to a little girl. Name smushing is a big no-no. Plus um hello daddy has an an ego problem there. I hate it when people give their daughters male names, it is wrong on so many levels. LET THE BOY NAMES STAY ON BOYS! Adding lynn to the end of a name or changing the spelling does not make it a girls name.

Answer 5

It's pityful that a child that age had to die so young, no doubt her murderer will be put to justice. But her case really raises alot of questions and issues we should ponder about. Why in the first place would parents want to place their child in such limelight at such a tender age by enrolling her in beauty pageants and contests? We live in a superficial world as it is, and no doubt, sooner or later, as children grow into adults, they will be exposed to the big bad world of superficiality. But the foundation years are important so why expose an innocent child to such limelight at a tender age? To add to it, if you have seen all those pictures of JonBenet and videos too, you will notice that many times, she was dressed seductively (mini skirts, bright red lipstick, etc.), she looked almost adult. In a sick world like ours, we have to be more careful and we should ponder over the issues of where to cross the line with kids. For us sane people, we cannot even begin to imagine what goes through the minds of phedophiles, murderers, rapists and all sorts of other criminals. So the least we can do is to try at least, not to do anything to encourage them. At the end of the day, JonBenet was just a child. Had she been away from the negative limelight of the media in the first place, none of these would have happened. Parents of a cute or pretty child have the right to be proud of them, but is this the way? Had JonBenet lived to see today, I wonder what she would have grown up to be, since her life (career path) had already been decided by her parents from the time she was a toddler - to be a part of the media limelight. I wonder what sort of young lady she would have grown up to be. What happened to that child was unfathomable. Alas, many other kids are being raped and murdered worldwide, most of them have had it even worse than JonBenet. The main reason why so many people cried the day that little girl died was because of her popularity and the fact that she was indeed a pretty little thing. The world needs to understand though, especially parents, that they can do and make efforts to protect their little ones. For starters, let them live their childhood the way they should - by being children. Not by being surrounded by cameras, wearing bright lipstick and strutting around in mini skirts. The world needs to re-think their ways, not cry when something happens. I'll pray for JonBenet's soul, that she will rest in peace and that God will forgive her murderer too, we're all sinners with the capacity to repent and forgive. Alas, I pray that parents will learn to be parents and do their job. Children are innocent, let them be innocent and protect them for as long as you can. Someday, they'll grow and see the world, but let them be kids while they still are.

Answer 6

It is a very nice and uncommon name, though i would not like to name a child that, or the child would not like to have that name later on once finding out of the famous JonBenet...

Answer 7

I like the name JonBenet too (I agree I would never name my child that). I like BretSoleil and LivRene too. I like the idea of giving a child two first names like that.

Answer 8

I like the name JonBenet also but I wouldnt name my child that. The other names you listed are nice also. Do what you like most. I like names that are unique. I named my daughter Kyleigha (ky-lee-ah) its different than the usual Brittany and so forth.

Answer 9

If you're looking for a "dual name", how about DoucheBag? Pretty much the same effect as JonBenet.
