Can anyone say this is NOT strange?

People who live across the roads' son has just turned 5. They've changed his name. It was Ben, now it is Tyler. When their daughter turned 5 they also changed her name. The mother says she will do it every 5 years until they are 15 and can then pick their own name

    Yeah,it sounds a bit odd to me,sounds like the parents have mental issues in my opinion. But there's nothing to do about it I guess. Just as long as they don't decide to name the kids Dweezil or Apple I guess they'll be okay. Though I can't imagine how something like that wouldn't cause some kids at school to make fun of them.What's the kids friends gonna think when he tells them,"my name's Tyler now"

    That isnt fair on the kids really. Its quite selfish. Getting their names changed every 5 years. And to be honest it is pretty weird.

    What an amazingly unique family!!

    I wish my mother was like that.....this is what she named ME! Adalgisa, Angelica, Domenica, Edelmira.....and my nickname was CICCI. I couldn't change my name until I left home...I then changed it to Adel which meant no more being teased. But then I found out Adel is a Lebanese mame ------- FOR MEN!!!

    Thats kinda cool actually, I wish I got to pick my own name. I hate the name I was given, I'm named after the giant house from "Gone with The Wind" =(

    maybe its some sort of family tradition or something else. may be they are trying to start their own tradition.

    either that the mother couldent decided what to name each of her children from day 1. :/ lame. lol

    Very odd, how confused would the poor kid be!

    "Whats my name this time, mum?"

    I have a Tyler, so I commend her on her name choice, lol.
