Strange baby names?

Growing up I knew a girl by the name of Vodka

HAHA well she must have been the life of the party

So, this one is often regarded as an urban myth. I am here to tell you that, unfornately, it is not.

My stepmom works for Children's Services. One of the girls on her case load is named Sh*thead (and if you've heard the "urban myth" before, yes --- it is pronounced "Shi-theed").


Please tell me how THAT name was ever legally allowed. Poor girl. There's a reason children's services is involved.


(Coincidentally -- Police Officer that patrolled near my high school was named Richard Butt. He actually went by ****.)

It's actually a pretty common Indian name, pronounced Shi-thay-yed, my friends husband saw it on the roll when he started as a teacher, yikes, I wouldn't know what to say!

I'm pretty sure in Austria nad Germany it's illegal to name your kids Adolf or Hitler. I went to school with a family of kids, Duke, Duchess, Prince, and Rashaad....I'm not sure whether to be glad or sad for Rashaad that he got left out of the royal naming trend...

Then there was Cash Money (pronounce Cash Monet), then there's the urban legand of La-A (prounounced Ladasha, yeah, read the dash out loud lol) A friend of mine had a cousin name Female (pronounced like tamale), it was a hispanic relative who didn't understand the form where it said name-female, she thought they had named her daughter already or something? It was strange

Didn't know that! I'll try to pretend like that's what this girl's mother intended.

(Poor husband! I wouldn't even try. Just ask them, lol.)

I work at the airport and I hear and see some odd names. Just the other day this very posh English woman (i'm British) was shouting at her screaming little brat who was running around being obnoxious: "Huxley you come here, right this instant". My colleague and I just looked at each other. Huxley? The thing is there used to be a cartonn on in the 80's which was called Huxley Pig! Incidentally, she later told him that if he didn't behave she would tell his nanny!
Another time a woman came through and she had twin boys. Their names were Calvin and Klein. Poor things.
Get alot of people called names like Godspeed, Godswilling, those names are very popular in Nigeria. Just today my friend dealt with a lady called Beauty Smooth!
I'm sure i'll remember some more later.

One of my friends has a nephew named Jasper. A co-worker recently named their son Clyde. I realize these names aren't that "out there" but all I can think is poor kids. Thank goodness you can change your name when you grow up. I've always hated my first name and I plan to drop it when I get married.

My mom's husband's name is Clyde. I love him and he's fantastically awesome.

The San Francisco Giants used to have a pitching coach named D!ck Pole. Seriously.

My mom joked that she wanted to name my brother Ryan and myself Ginger Dale ... like Rye and Gingerale...


thank goodness she didn't!

my first name is Leora. it's awful. I am called "Leroy" daily, and 99% of the people i meet add an N in my name. seriously. it's awful. yet although i've been married and divorced, i've kept the horrific moniker because... i'm the third Leora. My mother and grandmother were both amazing people and it's one thing i'll always share with them even though they aren't here.

Of course, both of them went by their middle names, but my middle name is even worse, so i suffer through it. (or go by Miko)

Two same name stories: i have a sister in law who is named Dana Dawn. Her sister is also Dana Dawn. no lie. one goes by Dana, the other goes by Dawn.
Then i have another friend named Charlie. apparently his dad was obsessed with the name and used it for every dog he ever had, (and any other kind of pet) as well as his only son "Charlie".

my nephew's name is Jasper. i think it's pretty cool. it's a really cool town here in Alberta.

I worked in a school where we had a 5th grader named Alize...she had twin younger sisters named Tequila and Tanqueray.

I heard about a woman who named her twins La'Washa and La'Drya, she explained how to spell it "L-A-comma on top..." since she didn't know what an apostrophe is...

hahahahaha:laugh:

ABCD pronounced Absidy.

I do think ppl should be able to name their children what they want w/o gov intervention. Don't they have enough say in our lives as it is?

I agree that alot of names are ridiculous but who am I to judge.

I cant stand guys that have girl names like...

STACY

sucks for them

I went to high school with a girl name Happy Anne Kuhn. She always told us her parents were hippies
