I don't think people who would name a child something ridiculous LIKE "LIBERTY" should be allowed to adopt. No, seriously.
Adoption agencies should ask what the prospective parents intend to name the baby, and if it's something like "Moxie Crimefighter" or "Pilot Inspektor" or "Sunshine Marmoset," they should be turned down cold.

You are joking right?
OF COURSE I AM JOKING.
Sheesh.
But "Liberty" is a terrible name.
I think Liberty is a facinating name. It is different, but not like "Apple" or "Moon Unit"! Just because you prefer names for your children that are old fashioned does not mean everyone does. Why do you think you are sooo far superior to everyone else? Or is it just your immature insecurity again?
Why is "Apple" any worse than "Liberty?"
Or is that just your insecure immaturity, coupled with your constant anonymous posting?
She's joking, dumb-ass. Get a sense of humor.
I like the name Moxie.
Rhyming names make me cringe though--like the new Spice baby, Bluebell Halliwell. WTH? This could be in part because of my husband's coworkers who insisted that we name our son Foghorn Leghorn Welborn, and brought up the possibility each time I waddled into their office.
What I hate are pretentious names, like last names, given to kids to make them sound more important. Like Addison, Gray, Sloan, Madison. And I can't stand boy's names given to girls or vice versa. And I don't like those ambiguous ones where you have to guess is it a boy or a girl. Or the overly funky sounding Bible names like Obadiah, Ezekiel, etc. Or the pseudo-trendy Cody, Dakota crap. There are plenty of good names out there like Michael, David, Sarah, Elizabeth, that have stood the test of time. Just use 'em.
GOSH. What a nice BORING world that would be.
For our first daughter we went with the really safe, boring, old-fashioned name of Katie. ;-)
For this one, I'm coming up with more adventurous names - Zinnia, for instance - that I used to not care for. So far, though, the Baby Name Approval Committee has shot down all of my ideas.
Yeah, let's make it an interesting world where no one can spell each other's names without asking 10 times. Try being a first-grade teacher with kids called Kanishiwa, Blaynne, etc. Horrors!
My pet peeve is invented names dreamed up by the parents.
The actor Rob Morrow from the TV show Northern Exposure named his daughter Too. Too Morrow.
IMO, Apple is a beautiful name. I also like the name Plum. I have an English friend named Cherry. She said these are not uncommon names in England.
I actually sort of like "Suri"
And "Apple" has grown on me.
Heh ;-)
