| Ive heard a lot of ridiculous kid names in the last few years ( Precious Angel, Aquanetta, Sumreefa Green ), but I flat out refuse to refer to a kindergardner as Yourhighness. What do you think. | |

| Well, we have Prince Michael Joseph Jackson (MJ's 1st son), Prince Michael Jackson II (MJ's 2nd son-Blanket) Princess TiƔamii Crystal Esther Andre (Kate Price & Peter Andre's daughter), so royal names among celebs seem to be allowed, but I think "yourhighness" is taking it too far.
Is it said as one word?
Doesn't the kid have a nickname you can call him by? How about childofdickheads? | |

| I will name a kid "Imafuckface." Nah, I hear you on the parents giving their kids jackass names. But what can you do? I think Stewart is a lame name, can't do anything about it. -HECK! | |

| The parents are dumbasses, but it shouldn't be against the law. | |

| Reminds me of soemthing I read a while back about a child being made ward of the state so she could get a name change. Found it Tula Does The HUla Nine-year-old Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii has won the right to a name-change. A judge in Wellington, New Zealand has made the girl a ward of the court so her "embarrassing" name can be altered. Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt expressed dismay about a New Zealand trend of giving children bizarre names and in a ruling made public on Thursday, cited a list of unfortunate names that he said were embarrassing for children. Names blocked by registration officials included: Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Stallion, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit. Surprisingly, names such as Number 16 Bus Shelter, Midnight Chardonnay and even Violence were allowed. Colleen MacLeod, lawyer for the nine-year-old said: āShe never told her close friends her real name for fear of being mocked and teased. She told people her name was āKā.ā She never told her close friends her real name

Brian Clarke, registrar general of Births, Deaths and Marriages said New Zealand law does not allow names that would cause offence to a reasonable person, that are 100 characters or more long, that include titles or military rank or that include punctuation marks or numerals. | |

| Poor Ron, he hears all the stupid names of kids in the area. I think it is horrible to give your kid a name like that. Your name really needs to fit what you will become later in life. Let's face it, you won't be seeing many Dr. Yourhighness's. | |

| Don't imagine anyone thought much of 'Oprah' way back when. Who knows what a kid is going to grow up to be? I can kind of dig kids with unique names. Granted, that Yourhighness name is jackass, but I think the world has enough John's, Jennifer's and Jason's. -HECK! | |

| I dont mind the uniqueness of an original name, its the implied elevated social status. Your Highness is how you refer to royalty, not the son of the local crack ho | |

True, but in a country with no royalty, it's just a name. Translates to a mockery. If anything I feel bad for the kid. Who would think this person is royal? Plus, people across the pond can buy royal title. It's a joke. I call her Diana Spencer. Not Princess Diana, or Princess Di. I am not a citizen of that country. She's about important as a two-for-one Big Mac deal at McDonalds, title wise. Did she do great things? For sure. Was she awesome for her career? Shit yeah. I repsect the crap out of her. Not my princess. We don't have them here. I would regard elected members of public office visiting my country. Not hallowed throwbacks to a once great monarchy which is now a super rich family in a country far, far away. That we beat. Handidly. For Independence. From them. Because we didn't want royalty governing us. Anyone? Anyone hear me? I go off on tangents sometimes. But I sprinkle truth. Oh yes, I sprinkle. -HECK! | |

| Come to think of it, everyone here who I know their name, I also have met someone with that name. Maybe we need some new shit in the system. In 50 years MyLady or YourHighness could be the new Bob and Tom. I'm for bringing in the new. I'd name my kid Uppercut if I can find a chick that would let me. -HECK! | |

| Ok, heres a new one. how would you pronounce ''La-a'' ?
Its pronounced ''Ladasha''. This one cracks me up because its called a hyphen. It should be pronounced ''Lahyphena''. Seriously funny even if this is a real person.
ps Uppercut would make a kool middle name | |

| Other than the Vampire Slayer, no. And I've never met that person either because they are fictional. So I do stand corrected. But I have met a Buffay. No I haven't. -HECK! | |
