Crazy Names!!

marcuej · February 2012

I was just talking to a gal at work about some of the crazy names at my girls' daycare and had to share with you guys too.

I know I have a weird name, but these take the cake!

There is one family with 4 kids ages 4 and under (none are twins!) I can't even imagine the craziness since I'm half crazy with only 2 a year a part. Anyway, the oldest is Sir Malaki, next is Kar'tier (pronounced like the brand Cartier) and the one in Hadley's class is MaiPrincess. They have a new baby and I don't know his name yet but I'm dying to find out!

There is another boy named MyKing in the older class and a boy in Stella's class is named Badger (who is adorable).

My girlfriend works at an elementary school in my town and she has some crazy names too. My favorite is Queen Sheba. Her mom made it clear that she must be called Queen Sheba, no nicknames and no shortening it to Queen or Sheba.

Those are really weird...I think there is a difference between a unique name and one that is just flat out crazy!

I just wonder how they will handle those names as they get older. Reminds me of the posts last week about naming your kids something that translates to getting jobs in adulthood.

Wait. You don't think MaiPrincess and Queen Sheba are meant for royalty? ;-)

Um...I'm guessing not! But I could be wrong. Big Smile

OMG can you imagine a "President Queen Sheba" one day, or really any professional? What are they thinking?

People like this are the reason that some countries require name approval by the state. Poor kids...

Are you kidding me?!? I think I would throw up a little in my mouth every time I had to refer to one of my students as Quees Sheba! That is just ridiculous!

Wow ... if I could make one of those faces with the eyes bulging out I would

I cam across a little girl named La-A (prounounced La DASH A) ... yup they pronounced the - as DASH!

I heard a mom call for her daughter at the zoo once-she yelled, "Absidee." After I thought about it, I bet her name was ABCDE.

I hope Betsy doesn't bring home a Badger. I don't know if I could meet him with a straight face, especially if his sister comes along and she's Platypus.
