Baby Names – We Don’t Want to Typecast [VIDEO]

I don't have any probelms with the way people name their kids, and as I name mine, I especially don't want to offend anyone.

I am just wondering if we are going to typecast our child, and the future adult, with the name we give them. There are a lot of 'noun' names happening nowadays. Names that are things. Perfect example, my new nephew in Michigan is named Diesel. Diesel is a thing.

Sarah want to name the baby River. Boy or girl. I like that name. Like 'diesel', the word 'river' is a noun. I guess I'm afraid that our child will someday be going for some big job and the reason they won't get it is because someone just can't see their company being run (or whatever the job is) by someone named River. Or Huck. I would actually love for a company I was associated with to be run by a person named Diesel. But we are looking at Diesel for a name.

If it's a boy, I would like to name it Huck. Not "Huckleberry" which seems to be the old school way of being a hipster and naming your kid after a person, place or thing, but just Huck. It's a skiing and riding term that can be a noun or a verb.

"Dude, look at that cliff," said one skier.

"Huck it!" said the other. That is the verb.

After the hucks are done, one might say something like, "Let's go back to that big huck and do that again." That is the noun.

While I'm free spirited, and my profession supports, and might even reward strange names, my child might take a different path.

For us, the baby is the biggest standout ever to walk the Earth. But, will the person-to-be appreicate a name that really makes them standout?

Or, will it matter to their future profession that its parents were a couple of hippie hipsters?
