I had a miscarriage last year, but the names were going to be September Estrella (Star in Spanish) or Xander Jude... my mom told both of us (me & my ex) that we should not be allowed to name a baby,

My cousins kids are named Marley (after Bob Marley) and Chavez (her our moms maiden name).

And I knew someone named Rain Cloud (hippie parents).

My Cousin names her baby "Aryan" after the Aryan race ... creepy...

my other cousin named her kid Clementine... yup just like the song...

And in grade school my teacher infomred of us somone he knew that had named his daugter Female (pernounced Fee- Mal- Lay) She could not think of a name and was not good at reading English so when she saw the label on the baby basket labeled female, she thought the hospital had named the child for her! YOWZA!

So, this one is often regarded as an urban myth. I am here to tell you that, unfornately, it is not.

My stepmom works for Children's Services. One of the girls on her case load is named Sh*thead (and if you've heard the "urban myth" before, yes --- it is pronounced "Shi-theed").


Please tell me how THAT name was ever legally allowed. Poor girl. There's a reason children's services is involved.


(Coincidentally -- Police Officer that patrolled near my high school was named Richard Butt. He actually went by ****.)

It's actually a pretty common Indian name, pronounced Shi-thay-yed, my friends husband saw it on the roll when he started as a teacher, yikes, I wouldn't know what to say!

I am Indian and i have never heard that name, unless i am not able to get to get it from the pronunciation

One of my friends has a nephew named Jasper. A co-worker recently named their son Clyde. I realize these names aren't that "out there" but all I can think is poor kids. Thank goodness you can change your name when you grow up. I've always hated my first name and I plan to drop it when I get married.

What is wrong with those names? They are fine names...

This is funny to me because my grandpas name was Jasper and my father in law's name is Clyde hahahaa, he was named after his dad and also passed the name down a third time... sigh

Oh and my friend's son is starting school with a boy named Vijay, we were all dying to know if his middle name was jay.

It's actually Vijaya, and it's a very common Indian name. Pronounced VEE-Jay

Vijay(boy) and vijaya(girl) are pretty common names in india. It means success.

I had a great uncle named Ted Edwards (aka Edward Edwards).

Went to school with twins named Justin and Dustin.

My brother and I have the male and female forms of the same name (although I go by a short form so usually people can't tell).

I told my mom that if I have a son I want to name him Domanec and she told me I couldn't because I'm not Italian! Pshhhhttt.And I like Vanessa, Taren, and Chylie for a girl.

My mom has a friend that has two kids named Dragon Fly (son's first and middle names) and Quin Seahorse (girl, she goes by the full thing... pronounced Quincyhorse). :noway:

My mom's old bass player had kids named Nico and Nigel.

I also know lots of hippies. One of them has gone with strange names for their kids (Star, Rain, etc.) I am a somewhat of a hippie myself but never considered elemental names.

my parents were wannabe hippies but skipped the crazy names lol...but growing up in Boulder Colorado I had classmates with some odd names...Sunshine and Rainbow are two sisters I remember....Mithra (boy)...Shemryn (boy) Thaddeus...Ludwig...and like 12 Jennifers, Amys and Susans They always got called by their last initial so there was less confusion for the teacher...

Mithra means a friend in Hindi, or Indian languages

Atticus and Harper are not that unusual. They are both from the acclaimed American novel To Kill A Mockingbird. Atticus is a much-loved character in the book and the author's name was Harper Lee. Both are very popular names among literature lovers.

Used to work with a guy named Harry Boner.

Went to high school with Jeremy Seeman... not so bad, but his middle name was Scott. If you said it too fast it sounded like Jeremy's got seeman.

If I had a last name like either of these, I would think long and hard when picking a kid's name.

Also worked in a bank call center, and once talked to a guy name Mattress (first name) Fever (last name).

Let's hear it for redundancy!

In grade school I had a friend named Kerrie-Sue Carey. Then there was a guy named Tom Thompson (really? the parents couldn't think of anything else?) This also goes for John Johnson and Mark Marks, and while we're at it, we can throw in Sirhan Sirhan.

there is also the seemingly innocuous naming of a girl that is later derailed by her married name (this happened to me). I also have two acquaintances, who after marriage became:

Kelly Kelley and Marie Murray. bummer.

My cousin went to school with Holly Hollingsworth!

I knew a guy named "Han Job."

He pronounced hit "hawn jobe."

We didn't.

I am in healthcare and we see all kinds of crazy names. One little boy (and I am NOT kidding) is named Lil Robert...yes, like as in little Robert even pronounced Lil ! There's also Cheetara, Sherclitia, Germia, Thor, Kal-El (just like Nick Cage's son, but this kid had it first), Jachavious, Dontravious, and even someone named Cocaine (what was his mama thinking?)....the list goes on and on.

NOTHING on this thread has made me laugh more than Cheetara! I mean, really? REALLY? That is awesome.
