There were two girls named Nevaeh in my high school class...

A sister in law finally announced that they had arrived at a name for the forthcoming first baby, a girl, that would be named Amanda Lynn. I responded, 'That's cool because I have a guitar and you'll have a mandolin!' - See looked at me with pure hatred. My niece Amanda Marie has just finished grad school.

My kids have a friend named Austin Key, or as he's known around school, awww stinky.

Some of these are clearly urban legends. Everyone's autie/sister/cousin does not know twins named Lemonjello and Orangello!

I went to school with a Rainy Storm and a Kandy Kane. I worked for D-land for 4 years and the girl that played Snow White in Fantasmic was actually named.....wait for it.....SNOW WHITE! It was her legal given name. She even had naturally black hair; didn't have to wear the wig. It was uncanny!

I'm pretty tolerant of some names but then I wonder about others. Names that are purposely cruel to your child but they sound cute and funny? I think those names are best off saved for pets. I understand it's just a personal preference and that everyone is different.

One day while traveling I stopped at a roadside stop. I was a bit tired after having been on the road for a while so I had to listen closely after the first time to understand what a woman was calling out to her child. "Propecia'.

So yes, sometimes you hear a word and think that it might sound pretty in a way. Please verify what the word actually means first. I highly doubt that this girl enjoys being called a hair restoration drug.

We were looking for errors on one of our systems---like the "Name" field should not contain numbers. This one kid's name was "B1witme". We had someone check the birth certificate and sure enough that was it. I guess it's short for "Be One With Me".

There used to be a politician in Mass. named D I C K Sweat.
There was a guy where I worked named Ernest Stern.

I just can't imagine calling someone President Mercedes

Mercedes is a legitimate Spanish name, so good job on insulting an entire culture there. Your examples don't make sense either - do we refer to President Barak or President George?
