Why is it the parent that names us? Why can't we name our own names?

    Because, when your born you can't even wipe your own *ss...how are you going to think of a name for yourself?

    I don't know any baby that comes out and can tell us their name.

    This is kind of a strange question.

    The parent names the baby because the baby can not.

    If we let them name themselves then we would have to wait for them to talk. So for the first part of their lives they would not have a name.

    And when it would be time for them to pick a name...it would probably be something like....

    Teddy bear

    Cheerio

    Peak-a-boo

    Rattle

    Goo Goo

    Ga Ga

    Mama

    Dada

    Nana

    Nona

    I think it'd be great to choose own name when older. I knew a couple people who just plain insisted on their name being other than their birthname (first or middle) in middle school, and we just went alot with it, even the teacher. It was fine.

    I really do not know but if we chose it we would be so little we would make up an odd name and be stuck with it for the rest of our lives and then we would blame ourselves for being made fun of or anything else

    Most likely because at age 1 day (or thereabouts) the name you would probably give yourself would be something like "ghooghoo" or "ghaaghaa." But then that may fit your personality??

    because if you choose your name when your young, you'll probably pick something really stupid like princess or monster truck.
