Why do some parents give their children stripper names?

[Deleted]

People with these names are from lower class neighbourhoods and we all know it.
Hearing such a name when someone introduces himself/herself, we instantly make that connection.

This actually handicaps your children, since it will be way harder to be invited for a job interview for example because we all do judge based on names.

There was a kid called Rainbow when I was at school

was Rainbow a homosexual? like maybe the parents knew

You're free to name your spawn whatever you desire

Yeah i get that but i'm just asking why are those labeled as stripper names?

Sebastian is a name derived from Greece if i remember. And if someone wanna name their daughter after a car or wine i guess its fine i don't see the stripper connection. Or does everyone who are named Crystal or amber for example work as a stripper or prostitute in 21st century?

You're asking me why certain names are associated with professions and that's down to said names being common with that profession. Is it fair or 100% accurate? No but that's human behaviour

Mercedes is a female name here in Europe, I believe its from Spain. The car brand was named because the daughter of the owner had this name. @.@

I have a friend named Fanny. She's an awesome person, but since we're both french I had no idea what it meant until she explained it to me.

And now I know it's supposed to be the female equivalent of Francis, but I can't help and think about what it really means. I don't even know if her mother knew that when she gave it to her.

So all of this to say, maybe the parents are unaware?

Names like:

Crystal
Candy
Ruby
Amber
Angel
Anastasia
Charity
Destiny
Paris
Porsche
Chardonnay

And for gender fairness:

Sebastian
Gabriel
Andre
Fernando
Giovanni
Dallas
Kyle

Surely they must think they sound like stripper names?

It's the other way around. Strippers take cute names and then people like you associate cute names with strippers.

Really though still better names than something retarded like "Apple"

Animal names are pretty common. Why would calling your daughter apple be retarded?

[Acidbaron]

Majority of those male names are just regular names.

I guess anything can be a stripper name, if you have to stop using names because its' used in a certain profession you are down to very few choices or have to call your child something really retarded.

I wouldn't consider all of those names to be stripper names. Anastasia..

Trailer trash parents give trailer trash names to their children. In other news, water is still wet.

Basically this. It's unfair that we cast so much judgement upon names, but that's just the way it is. Name change is relatively cheap if your birth name is atrocious.

Just a gut feeling. I wouldn't name my kid after a fruit

Trash begets trash

[Halyon]

Because they're just names and people have different tastes in what they like to name their kid?

I would not classify most of those as stripper names for either gender...
Amber, Anastasia, Paris, and all but maybe Dallas on the male list are pretty normal names with maybe a touch of pretentiousness.
Was this an animated movie about strippers for example? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118617/
