When I was younger I knew a pair of sisters whose names were Cherish and Precious.

They were friends of mine, but I always thought those names were just sickening.

My dad's in pediatrics, so he tells me all the bizarre names he gets everyday.

One of which is Samiam. (Yes- SAM-I-AM). He said it was a good thing that the baby was big, because he could beat up anyone who made fun of him.

Two years ago, I also found out that my Tita Daisy's real name was Independencia...

Plum, ummmm my cousins name is Dor

i think we are forgetting that a lot of people immigrate to the US or in my case Canada and although their names sound funny and may mean different things in English they are actually common eliquent names in their home country...

like my name, i am second generation Canada yet i have a European name which people cannot pronounce and some may find funny but "meh" i like it... i guess

My sister used me read a list of people of people being arraigned from the NY Law Journal, the names partially doomed these folks to a life of crime but the list is in my office

One guy keeps a list of the weird names of our diability claimants
One fave was Cinderella Cohen.

Another one of my fellow tribesman commmented that she was the first Jewish American Princess. :)

I used to know two little girls named Treasure and Precious. Now that was bad enough, but I later found out their last name was Silver.

I always felt bad for those children.

An old teacher of mine actually had a student named... Placenta.

For anyone who doesn't know what that is, here is the definition from dictionary.com:

A membranous vascular organ that develops in female mammals during pregnancy, lining the uterine wall and partially enveloping the fetus, to which it is attached by the umbilical cord. Following birth, the placenta is expelled.

The mother named her that because it "sounded pretty". That's the worst.

I had a student several years ago named "Gorgeous Girl". Smartly, she went by the nickname "Gigi". Her older sister was named "Precious Babydoll".

Bilford

BabyLove (he was a quarterback on the football team)
Lexus
Cambry
Ocean
Twigg
Bayonna (from Bayonne?)
Persimmon
Chalice (pronounced "Cha-leese")
Twin boys named Infant and Infinite
Tundra



My all-time favorite was Richard J Slappy. I always wanted to.

those four * make me think you made a comedy typo.

[JbaraFan1]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 5:51pm

Not at all a horrible first name in and of itself ... but when combined with the particular surname that it was ... I know of a family, last name of Hood, who named a daughter Robin ... well, some might think it clever ... I'm sure the parents did. lol

Ok so whoever comments on the names on the site Plum linked to, is a comedy genius.

I rang up a lady at work yesterday whose name was Polyester. She must have been born in the 60's.

I think I also told this story but:

My therapist's (yes, I go to a therapist) husand is a urologist and his name was Richard but they called him Dick for short.
His last name was finder.

Dick Finder.

If you don't know what a urologist is, look it up.

One of the best quotes from that site...

"Jayson, Also curious about different spellings? Jacen? Jaycen? Jaysen? Tyler?"

Tyler?

Anyway...

Pilot Inspector? No, no no... the actual spelling is Pilot Inspektor. They didn't even give the kid the decency of having an actual word for a middle name.

Way worse- Jermajesty...

Seamen Glassec*ck. Hius first name is pronounced 'Shamen', but you can guess how people say it.

Shaniqua's a pretty common name, and not all that bad, really. I had a Shaniqua in my high school.

Jermajesty?! Priest, please tell me you're making that up.


Please?
