    Knew a full blooded red haired cherokee indian named Lovely!! He did not get his name until he was several months old because this parents just could not decide on a name - everyone kept telling his mother what a lovely baby she had - hence the name Lovely!!

    My kids have fairly normal names.

    Mariah (couldn't think of a girl's name until I was 6m pregnant.) I wanted Nadia and he wanted Gwendolyn and we agreed on Mariah. My favorite singer growing up was Mariah Carey so that's a keeper.

    My son is named Jaxon. Partly after my husband's grandfather who died in 2009 and partly because of Jax on Son's of Anarchy. He was almost a Deakon or Riley.

    My daughter is named Falynne Leigh pronounced Fallon. Nobody gets it correct.
    My son is Named Aurey Blayze pronounced Orry. Needless to say we correct people often but I love their names and they do too :)

    My sister told me a story about some people she knows who saw the word 'Kerosene' and liked it. They named their daughter after it. Pronounced 'Ker-oss-on-nee'. I also have heard 'William Williams'. Poor people. I feel bad for them.
    My boyfriends last name is Martin so I always joke 'Martin Martin' haha. No way could I do that though!

    I live in the great state of Texas, and this one unfortunate soul I dated (very briefly in 9th grade) was named Dallas Austin. His middle name was Leif... so he didn't have much to fall back on either.

    I volunteered in an after-school program years ago and sisters were named Abcde (ab-sid-ee....yes like A B C D E....mom was told think of the alphabet. ughhh) and Infinity (they used to say...to Infinity and beyond! to her).

    My ex boyfriend's name was Bruce Wayne (and then last name) so I always called him Batman. Lol.

    My son is named Micaiah- said: mick- i- uh. He keeps telling me he thinks it's only a girl's name. It's actually from 2nd Kings book in the Bible. I didn't even realize it was in there, until a friend pointed it out to me.

    I have heard of Bud Wiser, Harry Roache, and Patty Hamburger.....I know....right?? Think of the phonebook listing:
    Hamburger, Patty. LOL!!!

    My daughter's name is Remy Adair and I always have people ask me if I made it up. I don't think Remy is that weird though.....Adair is different but it is my Grandma's middle name and I like it:)

    Adair is the name of a tiny little town in Iowa. It's right next to Anita...

    There's a school kid in a town a good 4 hours from me, but I know a teacher there and she mentioned the child's name.

    Anfone

    No, not an-fone, it's pronounced 'an-f-nee' (like Anthony but with a speech impediment). :noway:
