    I went to school with a girl named Tibia Payne. (Nice girl and she may have spelled it Tybia, I don't remember) Isn't "tibia" a bone in your leg? Perhaps her mother suffered from shin splints while she was pregnant??

    I named my youngest son Frey and people often think he's a girl but it is a boys name too! We named him after the Norse fertility God (and most handsome deity). It seemed apt as we have no idea how he came about and guessed he was just mean't to be.

    My youngest daughter's middle name is Snowdrop. I never liked it but that's dads for ya and my elder daughters middle name is Rosina-a bit old fashioned but I gave her that name as it was my much missed Nan's middle name.

    To me, Blanket was the weirdest.

    I'm just glad he didn't call him Mattress.

    Our oldest is Grant. Our second son's name was to begin with an L after Wifey's deceased grandma, Lilly. We both liked Lee but decided on Logan due to the Civil War.

    I knew a girl once named Child. :huh: She is a full grown woman now. Wonder what she thinks of her name? I remember thinking as a kid. If my parents named me that as soon as I was old enough to legally change it I would.

    Ironically, she works at a bank now!

    I heard that someone named their child SofaKingRad after this *kitten* who used to be on MFP and deactivated.

    Names that either contain a geographic location like a state or a last name.

    Oh and I remember a girl during school who's name was Candida :laugh:

    Now that I think about it, there is a girl at my daughter's school named Apollonia and they call her Apple.
    They have a strong Italian heritage and her sister is named Isabella so it kind of fits.
    She is a sweet (no pun intended) girl, and the name is cute for her.

    The weirdest one I heard was "A-a" pronounced "UH-DASH-UH" I will never get over that.

    I can verify this. I work in the court system. We had a defendant who's name was La-a. And she said, head bobbing and all:

    "cuz THE DASH A'INT SILENT".

    I will say that I feel as though the weirder names have a high incidence in the court system. Cocaine was a recent one.

    I read this off the STFUParents website a while ago but it always stuck with me as a couple of the "worst" names. EVER. They are twins, apparently.

    Vadgesty Foxi Maiden
    Vagena Tamphen Pohtaytar

    Not sure how true it is, but still...**shudder**

    Just like Le-ah, Ledasha. I guess the dash don't be silent.

    HAHA, just saw this comment after I posted mine. Which means...there is more than one. AWESOME!

    George Foreman has 5 sons named George.

    in total defiance of what roman numerals are "supposed" to mean at the end of the name (hint: it's a generational descriptor).

    he named them as such:

    George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI

    nobody can top this for "interesting" baby names. and by "interesting", i mean "dumb".

    Well, he didn't need to remember five different names and they could hand down their monogram sweaters...

    That's almost like putting a curse on a kid.
    Do they really want him/her to fail in life? :huh:

    I grew up in SA where one of the local tampon brands was Lilletts. My aunt's sister's name is Lillette. When my grandma was first introduced to her, her only response was "How unfortunate" as she extended her hand for the handshake.

    Oslo. A girl I went to high school with named her son Oslo. She has lived in Texas her whole life. I wonder if she even knows where Norway is on a map?

    Rebel. Also a high school friend. Named her daughter this. Sounds like a lot to live up to.

    And my favorite, also from a high school friend,...Gatsby and Guthrie (like Woody Guthrie.) I am praying she has a third and names him Garfunkel.



    People make my head hurt.
