Oh the names that I have seen...Tay-tay's got nothin' on these poor things!

sokmonkee3517

After reading a few of this mornings posts, thought that i would share a few little nuggets that have come across my desk in the last few years...and yes, unfortunately, all of these are now real people/children walking amongst us:

1. Abcde - (Ab-se-dee) said she couldn't decide on a name so she just took the first 5 letters of the alphabet.

2. Twins both with the middle name "One," first names Diss and Datt - Diss One and Datt One.

3.  Also twins: Ragina and Vagina (Va-gee-na) Yes, I'm sure that is how people will pronounce that.

4.  Brother and sister: Theawsome and Sodevine

5.  Family name Edd, they named their child Special - Special Edd.

6.  Family name Graves, they named their child Resurrection.

7.  *** (Ashley with an oh so clever new spelling)

This is not a joke.  The list goes on and on and on.  Names all come from somewhere I suppose.  Somewhere Mercedes became fashionable not just the name of an expensive car.  I take it all with a grain of salt, cringe as quietly as I can and hope that these poor babies can make something of themselves despite the stupidity of their parents.  What are some of the craziest names you have seen?  Remember ladies...Flame free Friday!!

I've known a Shithead (Shi-theed) and a person named Money. Celebrity baby names are the funniest. Names like Alabama Gypsy Rose, Tabooger, Blanket, and the list goes on.

 Names like these make my day. I also thank my parents that I got Susanna and not a crazy name like Tabooger.

LOL!! Are u kidding me? Ok... I have one for u... Lee-a..... Pronounced Lee dasha.  No joke..... I have been teaching for 10 years.... Smilesha, Casino, Wyteria, Lexus, Marijuana.... I could go on for days! It's really crazy!

OliveBaby

Wow. Nothing like giving a baby a middle name of deuce.

 "Your name is Latrine?"

"Yeah, my family changed it in the 9th centry."

"They changed it TO Latrine?"

 "Yeah, used to be Sh!thouse."

Shithead is actually a very common middle eastern name, I've seen it often.

3.  Also twins: Ragina and Vagina (Va-gee-na) Yes, I'm sure that is how people will pronounce that.

When my mom was in the hospital having one of her many babies, she said her roommate named her daughter Vagina (pronounced that way).  The nurse asked as politely as she could if she knew how to spell that, and the girl got offended.  I say girl, bc she was 15.  Anyway, when she spelled it out, the nurse got very quiet, and then said "if your sure!".  My mom still laughs about it when we hear funny names.

Mercedes is actually a traditional Spanish name. It's been around longer than the car maker.

My sister has an Abcde in her class right now!  She also has an Alize' (like the liquor), a Destiny, and a few other names that should be handed out with clear plastic heels.

In the classroom next door there is a Phylicyte (that would be Felicity to you and me).

My class has pretty normal names this year - all the "different" ones are just more cultural:  Lebamlak from Ethiopia, Morteda and Babak from Pakistan, Anzhelika and Tomofey from Russia, etc.

I do have a couple of random apostrophes though:  Ta'Nise, Ja'Vaughn

I've also seen Abcde. And today I ran into "Formica Dinette" as well as twins named Orangejello and Lemonjello (Or-ahn-ge-lo and le-mahn-ge-lo)

Dear Lord, It makes me so thankful for my parents...

Oh it's spreading, girl in my friend's class: Te-a.

My cousin is Penny Nicholl (pronounced like the coin). We have no idea what my aunt was thinking, her real name isn't even Penelope or anything. My parents called her small change...

When I taught school I had a Tequila (little girl) and a Charminique. Like the toilet paper with an ique added to the end.

Dad's name is Kevin, baby's name is Nivek, a la the Nevaeh phenomenon I guess.

Can't give too many specifics but we deal with homeless and nearly homeless families.

First name: Ima Last name: Hogg (this girls mom abandoned her at birth and her dad blamed her for it. He gave her the name Ima.)

First name:Zoot Middle name: Sue (female version of the song zoot suit riot maybe?)

Dwinkle Archemiedes Sebastian Demetrius  T?zakarelis(not sure what is supposed to be what on this one.)

I went to school with a girl named Bambi, and another named Strawberry.  I also went to school with a boy named Hy.  I remember other kids saying to him Hi Hy, are you high?  Kids are cruel and they will torture each other, especially when they have fuel to use like a name.

I dated a guy whose sister was named Bunnie.  Not a nickname--her actual name on her birth certificate.  Any wonder why she was a slut in high school?!?!?!

Gaaaaahahaha! I LOVE that movie!

And all of these names are seriously heinous. My Mom had a patient once who named her little girl "Female" (pronounced Fee-mally)....she told family and friends "Well the hospital already named her, it's on the wristband"

DOH!

I have a Xiv in my class this year... pronounced "Siv" or "Sieve".  On the first day of school, I asked him what nationality he was because he had a unique name, and his reply was, "Oh, no, it's not ethnic, it's the number 14.  My parents got married on the 14th of the month."  My jaw almost hit the floor! lol

Ive heard of woman naming her kids D'Asia, D'Africa, D'America, & D'Sumtin...like she ran out of Continents!

My DH went to school with a kid last name Ajarapoo.  First name Phillip.  My sister refused to believe that Phillip Ajarapoo existed so we had to show her the yearbook.

You are my favorite Bumpie today. Anyone who quotes Mel Brooks movies on here gets a gold star in my book.

In high school I worked in the office my senior year.  I would call people to the office over the intercom sometimes for different reason.  I peed myself when I had to call the female student  "Onya Johnson."   Also a slut in school.....fit her name well.

mags1984

There used to be a little boy in my DD's daycare room named Thunder.

Coleslawcat

I also met an Abcde once. I was an academic advisor at a community college and she had an appointment. I didn't think that was her real first name and I had no clue how to pronounce it so I just called her in by Ms. Lastname. She then told me how to pronounce it and how she fully intended to change her name someday.

Not as original, but I just ran across a Steven Stephens. Really?!
