I spend my day looking at the odd names people choose for their children. The other day I came across a family with 7 kids, some of the names were Belle, Sebastian, Aurora and Cinderella. I also knew a guy named Jack Mehoff (never used his first name). One that is only funny in navy terms, a First Sergeant Standfast (standfast means don't move in naval terms) the first time I met him a young Corporal yelled out First Sergeant Standfast and I thought wow this kid has some balls. Also my Grandmother was named.Flora and her mother was named Flossie. So tell me the funny names you've heard or seen.

    I went to college with a girl named "No Name" ...pronounced "No' nahhmay". Her mom was illiterate and thought the nurse, on the birth certificate application, already filled it in for her and chose that name. Thank gawd she was a beautiful girl, or it would've been awkward.

    I love uncommon names. I don't understand why people keep naming their kids John and Mary and now this rash of Ashleys Megans and Taylors and all the other popular names. I grew up in classes where we had three boys named Chris per hour. Ridiculous. So I am all for uncommon names. :)

    But contrived is bad. Like "Her name isn't Megan, it's Myeeghianne" or w/e. :laugh:

    My husband worked for a health center that mostly dealt with lower income individuals with no medical insurance. This woman, could barely speak English, had a baby there. As she was planning to leave the hospital the nurse's said "We still need a name for her." She pointed to the wrist band and pronounced "Fe-malley".... No lie, she thought that the hospital named her daughter for her. The wrist band just showed "Female."

    I have known Jackie Tracky and a Jim Grimm. Why would parents give kids a name that rhymes?

    Love the names so far. If my daughter had been a boy we had discussed naming her Punter Faire, but we named her for my sister and mother who both passed when I was 5. Rebecca Constance nicknamed BooBoo. Oh and punter because she was a kicker in the womb and faire because that is where her mother and I met.

    I work with a lady called Gale (instead of Gail) as when they registered her birth the registrar was a bit thick and spelt it wrong!

    I also know a Marie Antoinette (Poor girl!) and a Felix (named after a cat food... nice!)

    I went to school with a Frankie Frank III - incredible - you'd think it would have stopped after the first one!

    I also went to school with a Dusty Rhoades and a Charlie Brown.

    Ha ha about all of the "Taylors" nowadays - my daughter was at a TKD tournament several years ago and our of nearly 100 mats in the arena, nearly every one seemed to have a "Taylor" - we joked that if there were ever a fire, all they'd have to do is announce "Would Taylor please come to the front of the building!" and that would clear half of it out right there! :laugh:
