We so have to do this again! What are the strangest/funniest names you have heard?
I had a 7 year old patient once named Princess Beaver. They were aboriginal Canadians, so Beaver as a last name, however funny, is completely normal. I'm not sure if Americans use the term "beaver", like we did in Canada, but it's slang for vagina. Now think of that when you picture a little girl named Princess Beaver. Poor thing.
Re: IHO stupid people and stupid names
This isn't exactly the same thing, but it's still funny...
My mom worked with a lady whose first name was Gay. She married a guy whose last name was Diick. And she took his name.
Can you imagine going to the doctor's office? Or anywhere else where they call your name? "Is there a Gay Diick here?". Common.
I've posted this before, but my friend works at a children's hospital, and she has a stock pile of awful names....but I WILL NEVER FORGET:
twin boys named:
Orangejello (pronounced Oran-gelo) and Yellowjello (Yelan-gelo)
There was a 'Hermajesti' listed on our hospital website. And a guy who took my order at Panera was named 'Aliwishes'.
I think this one might be an urban legend. My dad was a Chicago Police officer for 32 years and I remember him telling me orangejello and lemonjello when I was younger.....
I knew a guy named Mike Hunt too! We were all like, "You should totally go by Michael." Too funny!
1: A regular customer at my bookstore named Warren Peace - say it out loud
2. A Muslim friend of mine went toKoranic school with a boy who's last name was Johnson and who's parents spelled his first name, I am not kidding, Shithead - pronounded Shi-the-ad.
Wow.
