parent-hippies naming their children 'Marley': classic rock! or dude..

lol i know one of these

I also know someone that named their kid Hendrix which somehow seems a lot worse.

Hendrix is a pretty awkward first name.

a kid called hendrix or marley is more likely to be mocked by his teacher (/parents' friends) than other kids tbf.

or a kid named Van Der Graf

or Genesis... oh, I think that's been done

Twice as many girls named Marley last year than boys named Marley or Marlon combined.

Weird that parents are calling kids Marley and yet I don't know a single child named Bob.

I imagine there are few if any reggae stations.

idk it's got to be better than my sister's in-law who is naming all her kids after conservative presidents, eg she has a daughter named Reagan (I had wondered aloud if The Exorcist was the origin of that name, which really insulted her -_-)

pot-smoking reggae dilettante moms >>> fake Mrs. Glenn Beck moms

Wondering if people are starting to think that maybe Marley isn't alternative enough so they're going for U-Roy or Tubby or Scratch instead.

I once met a Welsh girl at a pretty fucked up party who told me her name was "Belle-Marie" which soon turned to "Bill Murray" and eventually "Bob Marley".

Murray > Marley

Too Jewish

classic

only if it's short for marlboro(ugh)

If they were really fans they would name the kid "Nesta"

I know of a girl from my town named Metallica, and I sorta know a guy who named his baby Primus.

I have a friend who is a big Stones fan so he named his kids Marlon and Jade

!!!

my parents' across-the-street neighbor named his kid Journey.

p sure Ras-Trent would name his first kid Marley to compensate for having had to cut off his dreads when he needed that office job.

Gonna name my kid The Who. I can't see that resulting in any confusion.

I can't believe there's a kid out there named Primus.

This is blowing my mind.

What's you name? Oh hey, I'm Primus.

._.

My sister works at a veterinary clinic, and she often has to take care of two dogs that get boarded there a lot named Winger and Dio. Even for dog names I thought that was kind of questionable, but that seems like nothing compared to babies named Metallica and Primus.

some folks i know named their kid carter cash.

Oh hey, I'm Primus.

carter cash

At least those are names independent of the rock connections. It's still pretty bad though.

OK I kind of love Winger and Dio the dogs. lol.

Dio clearly the alpha-male, always beating up on poor old Winger

I had no idea this was a Bob Marley tribute! A girl who lived down the street when I was a kid is named Marley.

Didn't a Swedish court actually prevent parents from naming their kid "Metallica" once?

No, they ruled it was OK!: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_law_in_Sweden#Metallica

I never met Metallica, but people told me she was nice and mostly into hip hop. I think ILX's rabies might've met her. Primus's dad is a deadbeat who split for Portland or Eugene soon after the birth so he could find himself, I think.
