As In, Rip Us a New One?
The name Rip usually creates a negative connotation. It makes us think of somebody who died, which is pretty dark and depressing. So it’s strange that these parents would name their newborn baby Rip.
In America, the name may not say much, but in Dutch, it actually translates to ‘strength’ or ‘might.’ While that’s a really flattering meaning, it still sounds absolutely ridiculous for an American kid.
