Would you name your child Atlas Oak?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yes how lovely

No that’s just cruel

Just to clarify, Atlas is the first name, oak is the middle name.

[NamerOfStars]

No. The farthest I would go, if my surname was "Oak", would be to name the kid "Rowan", since, you know, that's actually a NAME. I'll admit that I was disappointed that Jessica Biel declined to name either of her children "Batmo", but I think they took their father's name, so that wouldn't've worked, anyway.

Incidentally, I've heard the story (and I obviously don't know whether it's true) that Kevin Bacon was working on Tremors when his wife was having their first kid. Supposedly, she had a familial expectation that her firstborn would be named "Macon", after an old family friend, but Kevin refused, saying he would NOT name a child "Macon Bacon". 1989 was a different time, but I still have to respect a Hollywood celebrity for refusing to give a child a stupid name. Also, he and his wife are apparently still married today, so bonus points.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oak is the middle name not last name

[NamerOfStars]

Well, I guess that's a little better.

[zeitgeist057]

I voted no, but to be fair, I also wouldn't name my child Robert, Carla, Megan, Scott, Harley, Nolan, Fiona, Lissandra, Desiree, Sarah, or hundreds of thousands of other names that I don't consider options.

Nothing against those names for other people, they just don't speak to me, and I'd just as soon name my child Atlas as Bob. In fact, of the two, I would give Atlas preference. But I wouldn't name my child either one by choice.

I dislike all the Oak, Oakley, Oakland names. But I really can't speak much on this cuz I did almost name my son Arbor (like a tree so similar to oak) but decided against it pretty fast after he was born cause I just couldnt visualize him being a grown man with that name

[YesterdaysChild]

It worked for Paul Bunyun.

[menina]

Oh no! That's cruel and nonsensical! I would never do something like that. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah when I heard a family member named their child that I was like just no..

[menina]

That's awful! No offense but it seems like they have no respect for their child.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I wouldn’t say that… I just think people try so hard to give their child a unique name and don’t always realize the consequences of doing so

[menina]

That's very true. Especially for celebrities, they always try that.

[JustinTheGreat]

I think Atlas is a cool name but definitely not Atlas Oak lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah atlas itself I guess isn’t so bad, but the Atlas oak, 🤦🏼‍♀️ but someone I know just had a baby and that’s his name, poor child

[YesterdaysChild]

The good thing is that he will be able to hold the whole world on his shoulders. He will be strong.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@YesterdaysChild 🤣🤣

[Lliam]

Well, it's... masculine. But it sounds like the stage name of a porn star or professional body builder name. LOL The kid is going to have a lot to live up to.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😂😂 my nephew just named his child that 🤦🏼‍♀️ poor kid

[VIVANT]

🤣🤣🤣

@Brainsbeforebeauty
Someone I know had a cute baby girl a few months ago and named her Mizuna Belle.
Yesterday I was talking to my helper and we got on the subject of baby names. She never had kids and never wanted any but she did have a beautiful name for a girl if she ever had one.
Heaven Lee ♥️

[Lliam]

@sage2021. Heaven Lee would be a good name. I just googled it to see if anyone had that name and was surprised to get quite a few hits.

[sage2021]

@Lliam
I was surprised to hear that because I have never heard of until now.
My son has a strong masculine name that I picked for him. He just told me last week that everyone has his name. When he was named there wasn't anyone named that that I heard of. I got his name from a big 18-wheeler I happened to see on the freeway one day and thought it was a cool and unusual name. But now he says everyone is named that. I can only guess in his 45 years of living, a lot of people must have heard it.
His barber, my friends sister, a guy I worked with - all of them heard his name and said they were going to name their child that if it's a boy. All this from a a truck on the freeway 😃

[Lliam]

@sage2021. That's cool about your son's name. And I never heard of a girl named Heaven Lee, either.

[connemara_crocodile]

I like Oak, but as someone who grew up in the 90s having to use an Atlas for school, I think it's like calling a child VHS 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

OMG that is something else that's as bad as someone naming their child Apple I knew this couple who named their grand-child after they adopted her, Darling

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yes it is… And unfortunately now a child’s real name, poor kid

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Brainsbeforebeauty Wow, something else Lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Brainsbeforebeauty I saw this girl walking around in Rite Aid Pharmacy & Store, I wondered who she was calling Maverick, here it was her little son who looked to be like a year old poor child. Lol

[D_Bone_Steak]

My kid named his kid Michael Jackson... That was just a mean thing to do.

[leahzrc]

omg!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

What goes through parent’s minds🤦🏼‍♀️

[exitseven]

Nope, think of a little kid in the third grade and what the other kids will call him.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right

[humanearth]

Nope, to old to have a child at my age

That's just wrong

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I agree

[humanearth]

To be fair, when I was a youngster. I had a friend his real name was Anthony Atles and no he was not the famous Tony Atles. Same name different person

[Sexiestjohnson]

That name Oak is a very symbolic name. It means a sought after weapon capable of killing an evil yet immortal person.

The world Atlas means Global. So together it means a Global evil destroyer. That is a noble name.

[Sparkie460]

I would never do that to my child. He's going to be picked on for the rest of his life unless he decides to change it

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That’s what I said when heard a family member named their baby that🤦🏼‍♀️

[krin_m]

No, of course not.

Although, it is not as bad as one of my friends naming her son Justin!

Why is that bad? Her last name is :Case:! :-)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣

[douride2]

Like the little guy slapping his/her forehead. Just no what were you thinking?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

My nephew just named his newborn that 🤦🏼‍♀️

[douride2]

The poor child.

[beebella]

I actually think Oak sounds kinda cool, but not a fan of Atlas. 😅

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

The two together is just no lol

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nope, but I don’t laugh at others for their names either, it would be so boring if everyone had a same name.

[BCRanger10]

People, please keep in kind that when you name your child something, that is their name for life. For. Life.

[Justneedtokno]

Nope I’ve actually taken time to consider my children’s names just because I belong to a community of people that are very creative when it comes to names

[najekim]

Hell no. Bizarre names are just. . . bizarre.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right

[BoopBoopBeep]

Sounds like Lance Goodthrust or Chat Pumpmaster or some other male escort name.

[FireGodGoesSeeknFire]

Not much first choice but I would not be an absolute no on it.

[AviatorTom]

It's definitely unique, and won't be confused with other kids when growing up. It's not my first choice in a name, but I'd have no problems with it.

[Nik1hil]

If my surename is Oaks..

Then my Son is getting a Name That ends in letter C. So it sounds Like "Cocks" or Cock

Gigantic Oaks, Grandic Oaks.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oak is the middle name

[Nik1hil]

Okay, then he is getting named "Temporary"
