From the site:

We named our son Ty. People always ask, is it Tyler, or Tyrone or Tyrus? No - just Ty. We have a long last name (Troutman), so we wanted to be sure that his name wasn't too long.

"Oh no! My fishing line's got loose!" (Woosh) "That's OK, Timmy, you just need to fasten the line better with a double-hitch knot!" "Wow! Thanks Ty Trout Man!"

There was a Kenya in every school I've ever attended (in high school we had one in each grade).
We also had a teacher named (God, I hope she doesn't read this board! Who'm I kidding? Of course she doesn't) named Princess. What made it funny was that her last name is Pegues and you pronounce it piggies.

Also in my high school, one of our classmates went by the name TJ. We found out at graduation his first and middle names were Telly Savalas.

In college, I worked at a department store. A girl handed me her credit card and her name printed was SD Jones.
When I asked for her identification, I saw she was pretty much hiding the fact that her first name was SH*Tra.
Needless to say, I took the receipt around and showed all of my managers and we laughed for hours.

Aw, poor girl. And really, the parents in my school districts were so unimaginative compared with this. Kinda disappointing in retrospect.

I have met people who think that the hospital named their baby for them. They see that the baby's id bracelet says (for example) Female _____. The baby is hencforth known as Female _______. In these cases, Female is pronounced Fuh-Mall-Ay.

I went to school with a boy Random Sample. His sisters name was Freedom, but she was always called Free. Free Sample.

I have a new found appreciation for how my name rolls off the tongue.

I really dislike adjective names, Charisma, Prudence, Precious (I know a bunch of them), Chasity, those always urk me. Updated On: 11/27/05 at 07:13 PM

Who names their kid Chastity? I mean, if you're having kids, how chaste are you, exactly?

I know I read somewhere that parents named their kid's:

April, May, June, August

The sad part is that these kids were all born in these months. Did they plan this, I wonder?

*I am trying to find where I read this. If I find it, I will post it.*

I, too, used to teach. Here are some of the names I will never forget:

Clasters Womble
Lavoris
Trivia
Troyal Spells
Elmo St. Blue
Linda Binda

My husband went to school with a Jack Hoff and a Chanda Lear.

As bad as "Apple" is, I still think Rachel Griffiths' naming her child "Banjo" is worse.

Dear friends of mine with a healthy sense of humor named their son "Maxwell Edison."

Oh my lord. Here's hoping the poor kid never listens to "Abbey Road."

"Joan (pronounced Jo-ahn)
and her twin brother, Jonnaton"

Joan (pronounced Jo-ahn) is, I believe, a variant of John in some regions of Spain (as in the painter Joan Miro), so it's not that strange a name in itself. Of course, in Spain it's a boy's name and the above Joan is apparently a girl, so yes, it is weird in her case.

Wasn't there a famous Texas socialite named Ima Hogg?

Escaladay! XD

I don't like the name Chaz very much. I mean, Charles, okay. But Chaz, I don't like that.

I really dislike the name Mercedes as well. And Precious.

I knew a girl named Chazlyn.

There was a band director at a local high school by mine whose last name was Head.
His name was, indeed, Richard (thank god he went by Rick) and his wife's name was Helga which, strangely, always gave me a better kick to say than his.

Heh. I went to school with a Peter Brown. Nothing wrong with that name until you had a teacher who called role by saying the last name then the first name.

I've also known a David David and a Scotty Jo Scott. Why do parents do that?
