Your Baby's Not A Stripper...

Yeah, that's right...I said it. If you don't want your little bundle of joy to be a stripper or the punching bag for every kid on the playground then don't give them crazy names like Rumor or Coco. Yes, I know know Coco Chanel is an icon but that's about the only person in the world whom that name worked for. If your child is not going to follow in the footsteps of the clothes maven then there's really no other option besides Stripper, Courtney Cox Arquette. Seriously, I know we all secretly want be these people but do not saddle your children with names like Puma or Miller Lyte, Matthew McConaughy's little brother. Don't think that this is the pot chastising the kettle. I am perfectly aware that my name is unusual. Is "Sharifa" unique? Yes. Is it a name that destines me to end up with a serious drug addiction? No. This is one trend that falls under faux pas ladies. Avoid it as all costs.

*As a side not, you should also avoid naming your child Britney or Jamie Lynn.
