What Is In A Name Anyway?


















You know there is nothing like a name to leave a child with your legacy. Its like my Uncle Manson Castro used to say to his son Hitler Jr. , there's nothing better to give your child a start in life like a good strong symbolic name. So when I found this article you can see why I had to post about it.

Palestinians being named after Hezbollah features among other things, a couple who are naming their child Nasrallah and who plan to name their next child Ahmadinejad . The article quotes the father as saying,

"My wife wanted to call the baby Nasrallah, but I wanted Hezbollah — to commemorate the entire resistance," he said smiling.

"My friends said with this name he won't be able to work, or travel abroad. I have business in Israel as well — but you know, there is a nationalist spirit in me," and again,

"The next son — we'll call him Ahmadinejad," Ghurani said, in honor of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for the complete annihilation of Israel."

Makes me nostalgic for my mother Holocaustina. So for all of you out there who might be stumped and looking for good baby names Uncle Tim's has your back! Check out the below links and give your child a leg up in life!
