Connecticut’s Top 10 Baby Names That Have Powerful Meanings
Why do some parents handpick specific names for their newborns? Maybe it's because some of those names have incredibly powerful connotations.
When Mindy and I picked out names for our kids, Matthew, Ethan, and Allie, our decisions were based on what we liked, of course, and how their names would fit into everyday life as they grew up. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm a conformist. According to hercampus.com, the following celebrities hold the opposite view. The following are 5 of the weirdest names that celebrities have named their children:
