    I remember when my mother in law had a student named ****head (Sha -thead). She had to ask him how to pronounce it because she was scared to say it how it was spelled!
    OK..this is like the 3rd one of these on this thread. I hope and pray that you all know the same ****head....because there can't possibly be that many parents actually choosing this name...can there?

    Two little boys in my neighborhood are named Blade and Sword.
    I can't stand it!! Especially when the mother yells from her porch..."Blade, Sword, get ur butts home now."

    PS: These 2 are too little to be out playing without supervision anyways. UGH!

    My son goes to school with a bunch of kids from the same family named Rain, Storm, and River.

    I went to school with a guy named Travis Traves (pronounced Travis).

    Also went to school with a girl named Crystal Chanda Lier.

    Why do parents hate their kids so much?? :laugh:

    You would think the name zoey was common enough but i still get people who say it's a weird name. The other day at the post office the guy asked me if my parents were sleepy and misspelled joey because my name "made no sense."

    :mad:

    That is mad. My sisters name is Zoe, and she's the only one I've come across, but I don't think it sounds weird at all.

    The hubby's urologist was named Hugh **** - I am so not kidding. (oops - the program censored the last name - just think crude four letter word for male private part that starts with a "d")

    I think some posters have been trolled - the L-a (ledasha) and Orangejello/lemonjello twins urban myths have been around for ages - yet every thread like this on every forum has someone who knows a friend of a friend called them.

    Some of this must be a cultural thing - I am in Australia, someone mentioned our different pronounciation of r's - quite true, I believe - but Taylah is not at all an unusual name here, Zoe is in top 20, very common.

    A few other names mentioned on here: Hunter, Josiah, Zelda, Winter - dont seem that weird to me. Not common but not weird either.
    Someone mentioned a lady called Bronwyn - that seems downright ordinary, not even borderline weird or unusual
    is it really not a commonly used name in USA? - is very common here in about 30 + age group.

    Someone else mentioned Candy Graham and Sharon Peters - either I am missing something or there is a cultural divide - cannot see anything wrong with these names at all?

    I have a friend who named one son Gatsby (as in The Great) and the other Guthrie (as in Woody.)


    I'm hoping she has a third boy and names him Garfunkel.

    I also know several guys named Michele -- some just used Michael and other used Mitchell or Mitch!!

    That's not weird. That's French.
    Exactly!

    I've known men named Kelly, Stacy, Tracy, Shannon, Kim and Robin

    Not the best choices for American men though....(my boss is a male Shannan, and he said he got beat up as a kid for it).

    "I' know it's French - but like poster above not the best choice for American men - kids in school don't know it's French - they just think it's a girls name. Ask any guy named Michele!!!

    Bronwyn is not weird, but not common in the USA. A Candy Gram is a singing telegram, sometimes with a sexual overtone. I don't get the Sharon Peters thing either. :ohwell:
