    My dad WANTED to name me Wanda Navada...

    ...luckily my mom won that argument and I am just plain ole' Ashley. :)

    I work as a cake decorator and there are some STRANGE names that I have to put on cakes. Can't think of any right now, but when I do I'll post them!

    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?

    That's kinda my thought too, although I went and named my child Jett, which is going to be nice and confusing when he gets the word "jet" in spelling at school...

    To this day, I have an impossible time finding ANYTHING with my name on it (you know, like personalized coffee mugs at theme parks and stuff), and my name isn't even that unique. And I would say about 90% of people I meet can't spell my name properly either. It's annoying. I kinda feel bad that I've done the same thing to my kid...oops!

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

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

    My brother is a doctor, and one night he delivered a baby in the ER on one of his rotations. He had to go back in and do a check-up on the baby and mom (who was a child herself) , release them, sign the birth certificate, ect. He saw the name " Female" written on the birth certificate under her name area. He went in and asked the mom what name she wanted for her baby girl. She said, well Doc, you already named her Female ~she made it sound like "Fe-mail-ee" so, I liked it and we kept it. He said, no-no! that was 'female' as in what she is. They still didn't undersand. Poor kid out there somewhere named Female. True story !

    Uggghhhhh..... I'm sure we've all heard these "names" before: Abcde, Orangello/Lemongello, La-a (LaDasha), Ladynasty, ****head, etc. *Eye roll* C'mon people, we all know you don't actually know of anyone with these names! "Oh, my aunt's cousin's teacher had a kid in her class named [insert any of the above]." Yeah right.

    I have a friend named Monique, She has gone by Mo all her life. She married a man with the ast name Butts. She refused to change her name (the one she goes by)

    So she is Mo Butts. I was talking about her to my MIL. It made my MIL blush. she actually waked out of the room while going on about what an awful name it is and she should have changed it when she got married.

    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.

    LOL...yeah, thats much better.

    My kids are Madyson Leigh and Nora Garnett. I'm pregnant with #3 now, and we have settled on two unique names for him/her. Of course my hubs is a firefighter, so both of the names have to do with fire apparatus. Kind of strange, but they are cool names, and the few people we have bounced them off of really like them...and my friends are just like me...they're blunt. If they don't like something, they'll tell you...without hesitation.

    My name is Rhiannon. pronounced " re ann on" after the Fleetwood Mac song. I hated it when I was younger because I was made fun of and no one could pronounce it correctly. Now that Im an adult, I love my name.

    Somebody just named their newborn girl 'Hariette', and complete with an awful double barrel surname.

    Anyone else think that is awfully old-fashioned?

    My eldest son is called Lewis, my hubby who is of Welsh descent wanted to call him Idris..you can understand why he is now an ex husband.

    I mean we live in Wales, UK but naming your son Idris is just a recipe for disaster and bullying at school lol
