    YES.

    The Beckhams' daughter's middle name is Seven. They must be Seinfeld fans.

    I grew up in 29 Palms, out near Palm Springs, in the California desert. My best friend's name was Mojave. It suited her though. And I loved to read the phone book when I was a kid. Two of my all time favorites were Henry Henry (how lazy do you have to be?) and Hartley P. Badger (Sounded like a character from Winnie the Pooh). When I grew up I worked in the ICU at the local hospital, and who should be admitted, but one Hartley P. Badger! I felt like an old friend was sick!

    My Daughters name is Velocity and when i have another girl i want to name her Liberty. :)

    I really like Liberty (Libby for short) cute
    I considered Liberty for awhile and also Rebel. Beautiful strong, unique names!
    Instead, my three girls are Shade (like it sounds like tree shade), Carsey (car-see) and Indiana (called Indy.)

    My favorite artist's three daughters are named Pilot, Penn and Poet.
    Long live the different name!

    LOVE the name Rebel!!

    A family member named her daughter Campbell Jaymes, last name not disclosed... Poor little girl, she's going to get a beating in school.

    i dont see whats wrong with that name...unless the last name is horrid...but Campbell Jaymes sounds very modern and actress-like.

    I also think "Blanket" (MJ's kid ) is an odd name

    My boyfriend's Uncle is named Richard, but his nick name is ****. Not uncommon, but he had a son who was named after him, Richard Junior. For the last 35 years, the family and friends refer to them as Big **** and Little ****. It seems as though the humor of this has never even occured to them.


    Edit - Wow, I didn't realize MFP had an auto-sensor, it completely ****** out the 4 letter word, which considering that it is actually someone's name & therefore not really a bad word. But, for those of you that are a little slow - it rymes with Stick.
    thats hilarious....on wordfeud it will let you spell c*unt

    For the love of God, why would anyone name a child anything that prompts someone to say "and how do you spell that???" - or say "um, uh... I'm not sure how to pronounce this" (when reading).

    Why would a parent burden a child with that?
  • My daughter's are Finley Rhys and Elliot Quin. Everyone says they are boy names, but whatever. The names suit my girls perfectly : )

    Met someone named "Cash Money" (pronounced like "Monet") and another named Holly Wood. There was a boy I knew in school whose name was Russell Russ Russell... I was in 5th grade or so and knew that one was bad even then. I see lots of fun ones... Wish I could remember more!

    Okay, so am I the only person who hears the name someone gave their child or you meet someone and they tell you their name and you wonder, what is the parent/s thinking??

    case in point: a girl I went to uni with. (in the USA). her name was Abcde (pronounced ab-sa-dee). really??? I mean, come on!

    anyone else hear any crazy names that just made you scratch your head in disbelief?
    I just heard this name too, although when they said I thought it sounded like "obesity" which is terrible.
  • I have a daughter named Cleotilde and a daughter named Johnnie. Poor kids but they are family names.

    Hey! My name is Faith too. If I would have had a daughter, she would be Veracity.

    Edit: Delilah is a nick name some of my clients called me when I was a men's barber stylist in Alaska about 30 years ago.

    Haha that was a nickname. The kid's real name Prince Michael the Second. Because his older brother is Prince Michael (the first). Because that's MUCH more normal.

    Ray Zorback (they were Arkansas fans) graduated with my ex-brother-in-law from high school. I didn't believe him until the commencement.

    Had an employee named Latashawannabeaut, but we just called her Tasha.

    If I had a nickel for every person who claimed to know Orangello, Lemonjello, and La-a, I'd be rich.

    That's not his real name, it's his nickname.

    Also, lots in here are urban legend, myths, whatever you want to call them.
