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
Bahahaha, oh my God. That is amazing.
My sister knows a guy named Hannibal. Guess what conversation he has with every single person he meets? ("Oh, like Silence of the Lambs?")
I have this conversation with lots of people. Only because my DOG'S name is Lecter.
The worst names I have heard in public that come to mind have been:
Shitas (pronounced "Shitazz")
San Diego (yes, obviously named after the city)
Orangina
Arancia
Shaniqua
Probably THE WORST name I've ever heard IRL...

A friend of mine teaches at an inner-city school, and she has a student named...
ASHTRAYA
Yes..."ashtray" with an "a" on the end. OMG.
Just saw Kaidynce Charlea...
I know that they're going for Kaydence Charlee, but everytime I read it I pronounce it Kye-dine-s char-lay-uh.
To each their own I suppose, just makes it look like her parents didnt quite know how to spell...
