I'm a public librarian and one of my patrons IS named La-a. Maybe it's not as common as people want to believe, but it does exist.

Haha! I'd never thought of that and I love 30Rock! DH told me about this name while I was pregnant and we laughed about trying to smoosh our names. He swears he's met this dad IRL lol

I had a Kindergartner my first year teaching and his middle name was Courvoisier.  Classy.

Not weird, IMO...maybe because I have a Harper.

I can't think of the best crazy names of some kids I've taught..but here's a few kids I know of:

Brothers Axel and Deisel
A girl in college, real name Princess
Baby named Neylan.d King, goes by King Dix.on
And K.im Kim (re-married dude w same last name as her first), so now goes by Kimberl.y

And I've heard at least 3 people IRL also think they know an oranjello and la-a...LOL

I was talking to a girl who told me she was going to name her daughter Infenity Treasure.

I like the name Harper. oh another one I've heard of, a student named Krizzle. :-S

I used to teach high school and now I volunteer on the mother baby floor at my hospital...you'd think I'd have seen some doozies, but I am drawing a blank.

I did come across a set of twins named Sydney and Ryan...normal names, but Ryan was the girl and Sydney was the boy. I thought that was kind of a mean thing to do to one's twins.

Also DH's great grandparents were Dimple and Commodore.

Had a friend in college named Princess. After being friends for some time I made her show me her drivers license. 

Also, had a teacher in middle school who's maiden name was Salmon, Ms. Salmon. She got married to a man while I was still at that school, who's last name was Roll. She CHOSE to hyphenate her name. Mrs. Salmon- Roll........

I was subbing and there was a 5th grade girl named princess. I couldn't bring myself to call on her bc I couldn't say her name outloud. Then I had hand papers back and low and behold I called out, princess.

Pornstar Cheekwang is one I came across while working in a call center, and this one is actually really popular it's "Gagonballs" ... I have to admit I couldn't keep a straight face when this popped up on my screen and I had to ask for "Gagonballs"

I know someone who works for a school district. Her three favorite over the years have been: 

God

Lemonjello

Orangejello (Lemon and Orange Jello were siblings I think....)

My mom once told me about children name Lemonjello and Orangejello as well (they were siblings I believe).  Definitely the weirdest names I've heard

Dear god these are not real names!

Well, Sidney is a boys name that got taken by the girls, and while I don't like Ryan for a girl, it's been around quite awhile for girls.

I forgot, one year there were students at my school named Tibet and Tigerlily (no relation to each other).

Orange Jello, ABCD, Shithead, La-a, Female, Vagina, Lololololololol You people crack me up! Come on doesn't anyones cousins neighbors sister teach a Chlamydia????

Real life child who just started at my daycare last week: Abcdee, pronounced Ab-sa-dee.  Her parents are foreign, so I'm not sure if it is a common name from where they are or what.

My ex-coworker's middle name is Chlemys (her dad's name was Clement, and her mom wanted a girly version of it).  She doesn't share it with many people because she says it sounds like a VD.

Worst from daycare... Steel. 

Worst pronunciation of a name: McKenna, pronounced it Makenna.  One set of parents also tried to pull off Alessa as Alyssa.  She made it to about 3 months before they legally changed it because they didn't want people mispronouncing her name for her entire life.

I also went to high school with a J.  He went by his middle name his entire life because he resented his parents' choice.  No one knew until he walked across the stage at graduation.

I used to work on a political campaign. One of the names on our phone banking list was Rockets (FN) Redglare (LN). Obviously she changed it to that, but it was pretty bad. Another person on our list was named Debauchery. In terms of people that I know and have met in person, some more unusual ones are Cedar, Telemecus (they called him Telly), Ignatious, and Philomena, which I actually really love.

One of DH's co-worker's last name is Raper (poor guy). I did go to high school with a guy named 'Michael Hunt'...went by Mike.

Nope.  They're not.

I remembered another one (real and not word of mouth, I swear! Haha). My friends name is Aisling, pronounced Ashleen. It's an old school Irish name I think but she spends her whole life explaining the pronunciation.

lazyjosie

I served a teenage girl called Calypso Rose at work a while ago. I must say she pulled it off though!

I knew a girl whose last name was Hooker.  That was unfortunate for her.  

I have an acquaintance whose maiden name was Nipple, and she was a Kindergarten teacher.  Having said that, I think she got married and changed her name before she became a teacher, so there was no kindergarten teacher named Ms. Nipples, but it almost happened.

my eighth grade teacher was Mrs. Titsworth........I am not kidding.





I also know someone with the last name Titsworth!!

is anyone watching the next food network star?? one of the girls' names is Nikki Dinki. poor thing!

SchmidtJB

My great great grandfather's name was Leonidas, which I thought was TOO cool until I learned the pronunciation: lee-ON-ih-dis.

Also, I went to school with a Cryst.al Ball and a Pre.cious Battl.es.

Keri Marie

I went to school with a Sto.ney Frye and John Ben Stone. Also a Ri.elle Love

neverblushed

I interviewed a babysitter once whose name was spelled Tekilah but pronounced Tequila.  She went by Tee-Kay.  Fortunately, she was allergic to our cats, so I never really had to decide whether to hire her or not.

whoopsybaby

I thought all those urban legend names were just that until I saw Abcde in my child's yearbook.  She was a cute little girl.  I can only imagine her parents heard the legend so many times they thought it was a real name--and a good idea.  Sigh.

I've seen Daquiri and Aquanetta on customer lists before. 

IRL, I met a woman about a year ago named Velvet. She worked in CS for an airline. She was really helpful, so my husband asked what her name was, wanting to write to employer to let them know she had given us great service. He was like, "Velvet, you said?" Lol.

I know a women named Velvet as well! She was a karaoke queen at the bar I worked at.... her fave song to do was something about Black Velvet.

IforShort

I'm sorry to say that La-a is not an urban legend. I used to work in child support services and she was one of our cases. There are probably only a handful of La-a's out there but because the name is so crazy it gets around.

Some of the other case names I came across were Tequila Liquor, sibset Prince and Princess and sibset Stormy and Summer LN Rain. I've also seen a hideous amount of apostrophes inserted into all kinds of names, both classic and made up.

I went to school with a Sameet Ball and Shamel Butts. Not the most well thought out combos.

jefk

I went to college with a guy named Harry Buttz.

capulet

I went to school with a Bicentennial (born in 1976).

Working in an elementary school special education class there was a student named Hennessey. The poor boy suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome, so sad. My gf also has a patron at her work who's first name is Toy

Thats terrible, I have a cousin named Toy. 

ChinaDoll87

My aunt watched brothers named Aking God Almighty and Absolute Perfection . I went to school with a nimaj which is BenJAMIN backward (his dads name I think)

Clashley77

I have heard from a quite a few people that there is a little girl within my local school district by the name of La-A and yes, you pronounce the -, making it LaDASHa

Did you READ the thread?

Cranang

So I knew these brothers, lemonjell...Hahaha.  People are so frickin' stupid.

Real ones:

I went to school with a girl named "Fashion-Dynasty" and yes it was hyphenated.

I have a friend who is from Costa Rica...his parents didn't know english that well, but they watched a lot of American gangster movies, so they thought "Lefty" was a common name in America.  So his name is "Og.gy Lef.ty Z.u.nig.a"

My BFF is a teacher and I helped out in her class for a while.  There was a kid named "Ashtraya"...yes, ashtray with an "a".

And for all of you porn officianados, I had a manager named "John Holmes."  Not a weird name, but certainly a recognizable one.

Oh and I swear my mom has a neighbor whose granddaughter is named "Female"...pronounced FE-MALL-A.  Oh wait, no that's total BS.  Again, stop being stupid people!!!

Working in the courthouse, my personal favorite has been Unique Velvet. Definitely not the worst, but made that much funnier by the fact that her grandma's name was just Velvet....

Not totally out there, but my grandpa and his brother were Bert and Ernie.  hehe.  It still makes me giggle.  My grandma and her sisters were Ruby, Pearl, Emerald, and the odd ball Olive rolled in there.

There's a girl in my son's class named Kaaitea.  Pronounced Katy.
