Is Elmo the best first name for a boy in 2006-2007?

Question

Please advise.

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

To name a child Elmo borders on child abuse.

Answer 2

I do not think so... I think naming your child after a character from Seasame Street could cause much trauma later life, especially when they get to the age where kids start teasing each other to be hurtful.

Answer 3

No, No, No, please don't do that to your child. Elmo is a cute furry monster on Seseme Street. In Elementary School and beyond, your child will be teased constantly.

Answer 4

That is just sadistic! Do you want your poor child to be tormented for the rest of his life? Anyone who would name a child that should be dragged out in the street and shot!

Answer 5

In my opinion, no.

Too many possible nicknames, such as "tickle me elmo", etc.

When anyone his age hears it, they will automatically think of the Sesame Street character, and I don't think he will be able to overcome that.

Just my opinion.

Answer 6

if u think that its the name that would suit ur child then go for it, start a trend. But if u dont want ur son to grow up being picked on then i dont think it is such a good idea to do so

Answer 7

Elmo lol. what is his middle name going to be "tickle me"? I can see that at his high school graduation ELMO TICKLE ME SMITH.

Answer 8

I don't think so lol

Go ahead and name your sons that people - if you want them to have to be tickled by random people for the rest of their lives haha

Answer 9

I'd say heck no,he will be picked on at school when that time comes.

Answer 10

i don't think so. cause it's one letter off from emo which is a cross betwee punk and rock. and it's a steryotype that people that are emo cut themselves to feel pain.
