HelpRe: Names that don't "fit"
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I never really thought about Patsy, but I picture Patsy Cline when I think of the name. She wasn't obese, sloppy (at least not in public), and must have been bright to get to where she was before she died.
I agree that you can't predict what will happen to your child. My sister and brother in law never imagined that thier daughter would have aplastic anaemia, and this Beatrice's parents probably never imagined that their daughter would have whatever it was that caused her problems.
I suppose a trouble maker name Jesus or an Athena having trouble academically isn't what you were imagining.

yes, I was...
I meant that little Jesus's parents, when they named him, never thought he'd turn into a little thug, and Athena's parents really hoped she wouldn't be a dim bulb. I meant that you really can't pin all your hopes for your child on its name. You can't say "We named her Miracle Heaven because she is going to be such a joy" because her being named Miracle Heaven doesn't have anything to do with whether people find her a joy to be around.
Miracle Heaven is actually the name of a child in a friend's class, easily the most obnoxious student he has ever had to deal with. She is unattractive, not bright, disobedient, disrespectful and very defiant. She'd be the same way if her name was anything else.

It's a running joke between me and all of my pediatrician friends that children named Miracle, Heaven, Nevaeh, etc. always fare poorly. If you admit a child by one of these names you can much guarantee she will be a medical trainwreck.

Yep.
My name is Haven and I'm not serene, nor are my parents hippies. You just don't know what your child will be like, nor do you really know how people are going to view a name.
