Hippie & baby names
Hippie baby names Woaw man...peace and love...pass the joint...but not in front of the baby. There's been a resurgence in Hippie-Sounding Baby Names recently. Yeah really. Back in the Sixties and Seventies it was hip to call your baby River or Moondog or Crystal. Or even River, Sativa or Starshine. But then it became uncool. Let's face it - who wants to be stuck with a name like Chakra or Leaf? I bet a lot of those flower children changed their names as soon as they could. I know one of my nieces did. Her Hippie dropkick mother (who was part of a cult where the Guru had Nine wives and sixty five children) stuck her with the name Hayneenay - not sure of the spelling but that's how it was pronounced hay-nee-nay. Poor bloody kid was tall, slim and athletic - she liked to run - so of course the other kids dubbed her Horse and of course she hated it. When she came to live with me at sixteen she decided she wanted to start her new school off with a new name. So we sat down with a fashion magazine to look for one. We came to a full-page ad. for Chloé perfume. So that's what she picked. That kid drew the short straw but there's lots of other Hippie Names that aren't quite so radical. Have a look. Tell me what you decide.

Thanks for the list. Many of the names I'm already considering for my baby were on there. Yes, I am unapologetically hippy (to whom should I apologize- you?) My child will indeed be christened with a hippy-dippy name, and will receive a middle name that will appease boring people so that either may be used in the future. And, by the way, I happen to know a "Leaf" who is 30 and quite happy with his given name. I also know adults name "Blue", "Micah", "Deva", "Maya", "Orion", and "Lark", to name only a very few, who are quite happy and really don't care what your personal opinion might be.

@ Angela, Jesus what a nasty piece of work you are. Humourless too, I might add. I'm a child of the Sixties - yes an old hippy. So go fuck yourself you complete and utter twat.

I like your baby names. I was having a hard trying to find one. I can gladly thank you because my first born will be proudly named Ember Rain(Boy).You've saved me a lot of stress.

Thanks again :)
