Per this thread, we're hoping to condense a lot of the "gawker" threads into one! We thought this would make them more fun to browse and the board an easier read. We'll start a new thread every day to keep the list fresh.
Anyone is welcome to add to the post--local hospital names, the awful name you over heard at the park, Facebook horrors, and anything else that might give us a good chuckle! Feel free to comment, too.
Re: Post your facebook, hospital & other name horrors here
Ew.
Can I please hijack this thread with THE most ridiculous name EVER!?!?!
Cheziree
That's Desiree, but it's starts with a Che- instead of a De-
Chez - er - ay
For most of her life she's gone by Chezzie, but now that she has a baby of her own (a little boy named Cayden), she's going by her FN.
Whoa.
I need backstory.

Everytime you see an urban legend it makes you sad?
Was I out sick this day? How in the world did I miss that?!
The girl just found the post, its an old one. I put up the name, she found it and asked me to delete it.
I did, but I can't help what internet strangers have to say.
I was on my local hospital's website, checking out the babies for this month. Here were some that made me stop in my tracks. I wish I were joking.
Praize Carson Airig
Maksym Tomasz
Madalynne Mae
Ayceten Todd
MecKenzie Faith
Shakynah Nalah Nanabrefi (parents Cheryl & Richard)
Carrter Ray
Keon'Dre E. Lee

My head just exploded.
Just saw this on Facebook - Race.
Seriously, like a car, your skin color or nationality? That kid is in trouble. What if he decides to run track?
Oh wow..that name was horrible. Nyx reminds me of Nix hair lice treatment.
I work in a dr.'s office and we have a few patients that just have horrible names...
Bud Weiser (no joke.. i'm seen his insurance and ss card)
Noble Dinger (seriously!)
So many more, but these are my faves.

I worked in a pharmacy one summer. I saw twin girls: Precious and Patience. FML
Francois
Shyanna-leigh
Yes, generally it's a french name for a man, however it's on my horror list because although spelt the same, this name was given to a girl, and pronounced fran-cos. Like Fran Drescher with a cos at the end. No french relation or meaning whatsoever.
oooh, nice! I am a social worker and I worked with three sisters: Patience, Faith and Serenity.
I've also heard:
Patches
Journey
Lovey
Im'Unique
God
First Name Kopen
Last Name Hagan
Yes, Kopen Hagan.
Like Copenhagan chewing tobacco
