Rebel 
English, "Rebellious"
Giving your kid the ultra-cool name Rebel is a gutsy move: First of all, you'll get major grief from all your relatives, who were hoping for something a little less edgy, like Robert. Second, you're practically guaranteeing he'll drop out of school at 16 to join a neo-punk band or hit the road à la Jack Kerouac. But he will certainly look fierce swinging around the playground with his faux-hawk and tiny leather jacket.
