Hello, My Name Is Pabst
Baby Names for Nonconformist, Indie, Geeky, DIY, Hipster, and Alterna-Parents of Every Kind
HELLO, MY NAME IS: MATHER I am named after a boat. Well sort of… technically I am named after William G. Mather, an iron ore entrepreneur from the City Of Cleveland back in the early 1900’s. My siblings are also named after cool Clevelanders—Alta and Case. My parents are pretty into their Ohio roots, which is fine by me because it beats being named John!

HELLO, MY NAME IS: WAVELAND Actually, it’s Waveland Sheffield James to be exact. Both Waveland and Sheffield are streets outside Wrigley Field in Chicago and my dad is a major Cubs fan. But since I live in New York City, people rarely get the reference. Oh well. Sometimes people call me Wave which is okay by me.

HELLO, MY NAME IS: PRESLEY I like stripes, zombies, and my name is sorta like a dead guy’s, but as you can see, I’m all smiles!  I was born on August 16th which is the day that that Elvis guy who people seem to think I am named after, died. But it’s a total coincidence.

Hello, My Name Is Still: PABST And yes, I get two weeks in a row on the blog because, um, hello, my name is Pabst!! So yeah, this is me in a pile of leaves rocking my usual kickass fashions. I know it’s May Day today so this should be a spring-like picture, but I live life on the darker side and prefer gray skies and dead leaves.

HELLO, MY NAME IS: OSKAR Some people call me Oka (Aw-ka) because my brother couldn’t pronounce the ‘s’ or the ‘r’ in my name when I was born. I’m cool with it. Like my name implies, sometimes I’m a bit of a grouch. I like to think of it more as strong-willed than grouchy and besides I can be pretty charming when I want to be. Likes: I love paper. I like to crumple it, rip it, and even eat it. When my mama throws tissues in the air, I can’t stop laughing. I also like my older brother Zero. Most of the time. Dislikes: I don’t like not getting what I want. Who does? And I’m not a fan of the nurse with needles in her hands at the doctor’s office.

HELLO, MY NAME IS: JETT I can swing higher than most toddlers and also, I can smile EXACTLY like the dancing hot dog on my shirt. Yeah, I’m multi-talented like that. My parents were at war when it came to naming me. Mom wanted something cool, funky and charming. Dad wanted something simple and easy to spell. When mom heard that the neighbors were planning to name their kid Rocket, she started thinking of names like Plane, Train, and… Jet! But with an extra ‘t’ to make it cooler. So yeah, that’s me.

HELLO, MY NAME IS: JUNO My mommy wanted to name me after June Carter Cash, but daddy had a better idea. I love hats, even though they cover up my natural faux hawk; I love leg warmers, even though they squeeze my ham hocks; and I love watching my favorite sport, Roller Derby!
