weird names

I did a google search trying to get ideas for a character's name, and came across this and this.

I also remember a story about a woman saying her husband could name their baby, he chose ESPN (pronounced Espin I think).

some people...

edit: another

I could tell you some really off-the-wall names but that may be considered violating patient confidentiality.

Ha, one of my friends who lives in Zimbabwe told me some awful names some people decide to name their kids:

1. God Knows

2. Typewriter Ribbon

3. Mistake

 

Boy do I feel for these kids.

I mentioned in another thread that Matthew McConnaughy (sp?) has a brother named Rooster, who in turn, named his son Miller Lyte.  My kind of dude.

There is a couple in New Zealand, I think, that wanted to name their son "4real".  The powers that be said nope, so they named him "Superman" instead (but still call him 4real).

I could go on about celebrities who can't name a kid properly. Don't get me wrong, there are some great unique names out there. But not names like Fifi Trixibelle (Bob Geldof), Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee) and I. P. Freely (David Carradine)

FFS.

I honestly used to work with a man who was named Harold Beaver.   His nickname was Rip. So wrong of the parents to do that.

My boyfriend and I were just talking about this and he mentioned people that changed their name/named their kid "Trout Fishing in America" based off the novella by Richard Brautigan. Now we want to read the book... it sounds rather interesting...

megan- I work with someone name Harold Bever! small, sick world....

And of course we can't forget Sylvester Stallone's son, Sage Moonblood. His three daughters all have the middle name Rose.

George Foreman has 5 sons all named George, and one daughter named Georgetta (4 other daughters with somewhat normal names).

Sister's Roommate = Candy ****

Sister's Teammate = Kara Caiture (pronouced caricature)

Boyfriends Mother = Christal Waters

I've also heard that Mr. Leer of Leer Jets named his daughter Shanda

I've been a teacher, and wow, some people give their kids really unfortunate names, calling role the first day of class was HELL. I've seen: LeaQuishianna, Ranikkianshaia, and even a Shannaiquianna.

edit: wow I got sensored, but I swear it's her real name.

My beautiful granddaughter is Sage Seraphim.  She is our wise angel. 

I once had a coach named William Williams.

I went to college with a guy named Philip A. Beverage.

I had a teacher in high school named Nels Nelson.

My parents used to have a friend named Nels Nelson. He divorced his wife to have a sex change so they stopped their association with him. I sometimes wonder what her (his) name is now.

Penn Jillette's daughter is called Moxie Crimefighter.  I would never do it, but ... I still think it's pretty bada$$.  :-)

My Mom works with a lady named Anita Dick

Kids I know and their names  -- why??? who knows

Wantabee - pronounced- want to be  - (Gang related)

Mister

Noszucchi  - no zuccinni    ( I always want to sing this to the tune of "yes, we have no bananas today.)

I could go on but this probably sums it up.  Stop it parents!

I knew a guy through work named Rod Beaver.  He said his mother's name was Sandy.

There is a car business guy around here that named his son Corvette and his daughter Camaro.  Corvette has a daughter named Camry.

My kids got a chuckle resently when they met a lady named Gay Baker.

I taught a girl named Placenta (ewww), and another named Limonjello.  I mean seriously....did they just look around the hospital room and write down words they saw at random?!?!?  Do they even know what a placenta is??!?!

I had a class with a very quiet, very reserved asian kid named Loung Doung (sp?). 

Director Robert Rodriguez (Grindhouse, Desperado, Spy Kids, Sin City, etc.) named his four sons:

Racer Maximilliano
Rebel Antonio
