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
I posted yesterday and completely forgot about the worst one I know! Ya might think my addict cousin and his gf did something right in choosing a unique, feminine name for their little girl:
Indica
...until you find out it's a species of WEED.
sigh.

Holy crap!!!! That poor little girl
Candida.
It's a friend of a friend on FB. In case the word sounds familiar but you can't quite place it, it's a yeast infection.
YES! I cant believe people actually use this as a name!! How completely in appropriate and downright gross. Id rather be named Mushroom than Candida.
This is actually a legitimate name. To be honest, I've never heard it used as a term for a yeast infection.
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Late Roman, English
Pronounced: KAN-di-d? (English) [key]
Our server at lunch today's name was Myka. It was a girl, all I could think was maybe Micah?
There's a tv character with that name on the SyFy series, Warehouse 13. Our dog is named Micah and is a girl, so I associate it as a unisex name (she's named after the mineral though).
And, I've been meaning to post this name forever. I had a masters student when I worked at a University named Faith-Love. If I recall correctly, she went by Love. She also had a ridiculously hyphenated last name (although, she only went by one of those as well).
My masseusse was LaZonya. As in- Lasagna with a youneek spelling. Double whammy!
My checkout girl at the grocery story was Brytish. Another double whammy.
7 anovulatory cycles, 1 cycle 50 mg clomid, 4 cycles 100mg clomid, HSG double blockage, hysteroscopy with cyst and debris removal, fermara/IUI attempt abandoned because of anovulation, follistim/IUI attempt coming soon!
