Given that the father's name is Shooter, it's not like I had any high hopes for them.

If "Alabama" becomes the new "Dakota" I'm going to...I don't know what, but it will probably be rude. Neither "Alabama" nor "Gypsy" are names. One is a place, the other is a noun and a reference to a cultural group properly known as the Romani. I believe it is actually considered derogatory, too. Sigh.

You know what's a nice name? Rose Jennings. Lovely.

Yeah, that's about right.

"You mean like...the state?"

"YES! God!"

Somebody's seen Gypsy too many times.

So what states are still free that I can name my unborn child?

At least they didn't call her something like straight shooter jr

There's always Wisconsin!

Don't limit yourself to North America and there's lots left.
For instance:

• Zimbabwe Kung Fu Smith
• Venezuela Hypochondriac Smith
• Lithuania Fuel Injector Smith
• Papua New Guinea Omni Smith

They just roll off the tongue, don't they?

Nobody better take Uruguay Cornball or Paraguay Mr. T. I'm reserving those in case I have twins.

Seriously though, Alabama Gypsy Rose sounds like a V.C. Andrews character. She could be the orphaned daughter/cousin of the series' main character (herself named Sky Blue Georgia Peach).

My uncle Paraguay Mr. T will be so flattered that you named a child after him!

And I've had "Alabama Getaway" running through my head since yesterday.

I used to have a neighbor who named her son Sky Blue. His father's middle name was Sky. I think she was drunk when I was talking to her.

Shooter Jennings doesn't even have the excuse that his parents gave him a crappy name and he's just passing the hurt along. His real name is Waylon Albright Jennings. His dad just nicknamed him "Shooter" because he peed on a nurse in the maternity ward.

I can't stop laughing at this thread. My next Sim baby will be Lithuania Fuel Injector Smith.

Before having Baby Fraoch this summer, Mr. F and I went on a tour of the hospital maternity ward as part of the prenatal class we were taking. There was a little tyke in the nursery named, seriously, De'Lorean MattLee. De'Lorean! The Back to the Future car! With a random apostrophe thrown in for extra flair! And then two normal names smooshed together for a middle name! What is wrong with people?

Then I'm going to go ahead and reserve Wyoming Flux Capacitor for any future children I may have. The real brilliance of that name is that it's suitable for a boy or a girl! Win!

Didn't the creator of the De'Lorean get busted for cocaine trafficking, or am I just making this up?

Alabama Gypsy Rose Jennings is...terrible. Just terrible. Gypsy is a derogatory term, isn't it? Don't people pay attention anymore?

I think I want to name my next kid after some sort of concept or genre of film.
