Names are mostly just a sign of your parents' socioeconomic status. One could argue that is somewhat related to your intelligence, but not entirely.
Yeah, as one of my friends liked to say, "there's no accounting for taste". I know some well educated parents who have four kids, all with "teen mom" names. (Not my invention; I read it on a naming website.)
This is a GREAT IDEA! I think the mother should have several more children, and try to time each birth so it coincides with another natural event. Just think of the possibilities for little Eclipse's future siblings: Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption (just Eruption for short, of course.) Those sound nice and masculine, don't they?
Or if she had another girl she could use the oh-so-pretty sounding Tsunami (Tsu for short, naturally!) And little Tropical Storm could just be called Stormy, how cute!!!
I do feel sorry for little Sinkhole, though. That sounds like kind of a downer...

Reason: additional comment
People who think Eclipse is the strangest name ever really should peruse the US Social Security database. In 2016, there were at least five girls each named Magenta, Pocahontas, Reality, Solstice (great sibling for Eclipse!), Sweden, Vanilla, and Whisper. And that's just the very tip of a very big iceberg, believe me. I don't think Eclipse is going to stand out as much as you think it is
Our daughter was born on December 29th, and we named her Holly.
My granddaughter was born December 29th but they didn't give her a Christmas name. I'm December 28th and I also don't have a seasonal name. I did have a friend born on Christmas Eve and her parents named her Merry.
I didn't initially look at the article but after reading the comments here, I could tell it was a minority family.
Well, then, you would have been surprised if you had actually read the article and saw a picture of the mother and baby.
Now, as to whether they are minorities, I have no idea what the demographics of her neighborhood are. It may be 95% black, in which case she WOULD be a "minority". On the other hand, the town may be 70% white and 30% black, in which case she is defnitely NOT a "minority."
Not really sure why it's so important to label the family as a minority. What difference does the color of their skin make to their choice of names for their baby?
