Worst name I've EVER heard... and I'm a teacher.

blessedgreen

I took DD to playgroup last week, and there was a little girl named....

Booksie.

Yup. That was her given name. She was with her nanny and I asked the nanny if that was a nickname, and she said nope- full name.

I'm pretty sure my mouth was hanging open.

A teacher at my school told me she had a Kuntasia last year. Her mom told her to call the girl Kunty for short.

Now that's just pure evil.

That's nothing. My mom's cousin's sister taught a La-a. No joke - it's pronounce Ladasha. Can you believe that??

LOL. I'm glad someone went ahead and did it before it popped up from a newb "for serious".

There was a kid at our Y named Cooch. His mom is really involved there, so he's there a lot and there's artwork with his name on it all over the place. I'd take Booksie over Cooch any day

Another teacher here...Jildo is probably the worst that I have heard, and right up there next to that would be Romance.

It's not his given name, but I knew someone who went by Cooter.

Booksie sounds like either the child of a bookie or mobster.. Or someone who spends their days playing tennis and vacationing in the Hamptons.

We have to stop having "worst name" threads because I'm tired of responding to these post.

Your friend lied.

I can't get over these legends popping up.

By the way, everybody--I totes know a little foreign girl named Female (but, like, it pronounced feh-mah-lay, because the mom thought it was a super cute name!)

................................kidding.

No but seriously, please stop.

Edited for spelling error.

We moved to a new town recently and one of our neighbors is named LemonJello and another neighbor is named OrangeJello. What are the odds?

Oh my goodness, the urban legends are getting mind-numbing.

Okay (I know this has already been said 1,000 times, but maybe if it's said one more time?)

Lemonjello and Orangejello... urban legends. I've been hearing about these "brothers" for 20 years. Apparently they live everywhere. Weird how no one has ever actually met them.

Same with the genitalia names. Urban legends.(Unless you've actually met someone with these names? Maybe then post it).

Booksie - that is... wow. Awful. Poor kid.

I went to college with an Indian girl named Jizz. Seriously lived on my floor. One of my suit mates and her were in the Indian/Asian group on campus. Not necessarily bad names but just a bad combo, DH played on a baseball team with a guy named Brock Lee. 4 times a game I had to hear "now batting, Brock Lee"

TNgoldengirl

Booksie reminds me of a name my husband keeps bringing up. "Booker"

Ugh no!!! Sounds too similar to booger. Said it's a great video game character. 

Or what I bondsman would say, yeah bring her in and book 'er.

So very kidding!!

Worst student names I've seen: first name Faith, which is fine. Last name Virgin. Unfortunate.

I also taught a Phuryous, which is furious but spelled fancier. Every time he got mad in class, I thought to myself, "Sounds about right." Couldn't help it.

Oooh, yeah. That's pretty bad.

notreal2

I need to step back, because Booksie is sounding really cute right now.  But, only a a nickname.

I am surprised that anyone is shocked at La-a and Shithead in this day and age, where there seems to be one in everyone's mom's sister's classroom/hospital ward. Amazing that it hasn't cracked the SSA's top10. *eyeroll*

According to Intelius People Search, there are actually a couple of people around named Lemonjello. Funny enough, there is a Lemonjello Snicket living in Georgia, and there is also an Orangejello Snicket in the same city.

Now whether or not these people were actually born with those names is another story. (Beezow Doo-Doo Zoppity-Bop-Bop, anyone?)
