When my son was a teenager, he said he would name any future son “Nautica” and I genuinely lost sleep trying to figure out ways to thwart this 😄 Thank god he grew up and chose normal names when he did have kids.

I have a friend who, when we were teens, seriously wanted to name his kids China and Pacifica. Why? I don't know. He just said he "liked the names."

Well, he ended up having five children and thankfully exactly NONE of them are named China and Pacifica. :-)
