ExiledInIllinois Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 About 20 years ago my wife taught @ one of the colleges in Chicago. One female student's names was: Spelled like this: C'mon Come on!
BringBackFergy Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Britknee. La-a (pronounced Ladasha). Seriously - my wife had a friend who was a nurse in a delivery floor at the hospital.
boyst Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I am more annoyed when people give their kid a name and don't even use it. They'll end up using the middle name for the kid. I know a dozen people that go by this and they said their parents never called them by the first name. It is weird to me.
Zona Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I knew a family named Rhodes. They named their children, Rocky, Stony, and Pebbles. My wife's best friend was a teacher, and she says her favorite name she ever had in class was Clamydia...as in the STD...
Wayne Cubed Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Worst name I've ever came across was a girl we hired a couple years ago: Omunique, pronounced I'm unique.
boyst Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Worst name I've ever came across was a girl we hired a couple years ago: Omunique, pronounced I'm unique. Who is we? We are to assume by the name that she was an escort or stripper?
Wayne Cubed Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Who is we? We are to assume by the name that she was an escort or stripper? haha I meant where I work.
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 This is incredible. And a place like Iceland gets flak for making people pick from a list of offically sanctioned Icelandic names. This thread is your reason, maybe Iceland has it right!
The Poojer Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 My official name is Patrick James but my parents always intended on calling me PJ... I only hear Patrick when I'm in trouble or I owe money I am more annoyed when people give their kid a name and don't even use it. They'll end up using the middle name for the kid. I know a dozen people that go by this and they said their parents never called them by the first name. It is weird to me.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Connor, Tucker, Flynn, Dakota, and Cooper. These are not real names!! George Carlin did a bit on this, and I agree. 99 times out of 100 Nick, Vinny, and Joe will beat the **** out of Connor, Tucker, and Flynn. Soft names make soft people.
GOBILLS78 Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 You won't believe me, but I swear to God I know a woman named Bodacious Cathedral. Swear on my life.
DC Tom Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 About 20 years ago my wife taught @ one of the colleges in Chicago. One female student's names was: Spelled like this: C'mon Come on! But everyone routinely misspelled her name as "Common." I know of a teacher who one year had two girls in her class both named "Unique." I also know of a single mom who didn't quite know who the father of her baby was...so naturally, she named the kid "Menage a Trois". And my brother-in-law wanted to name my nephew "Hoagy Carmichael" until I suggested to him that he may as well name him "Please beat the **** out of me."

BuffaloBill Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Worst name I've ever came across was a girl we hired a couple years ago: Omunique, pronounced I'm unique. Actually I hate when names are grossly misspelled. Who is we? We are to assume by the name that she was an escort or stripper? Speaking of which .... Who the heck comes up with their names? I forgot who but some stand up comedian did a bit on this once. It was hilarious.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 You won't believe me, but I swear to God I know a woman named Bodacious Cathedral. Swear on my life. Grew up with a girl named Liberty Bell. As an educator, I come across a lot of unusual names. Most recently a boy named Sincere Bride. No joke. He's in middle school and gets picked on all the time. What were his parents thinking? Better than Unfaithful Bride I suppose.
cantankerous Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 I work at a Hospital. I've seen Jaykob, Precious, Silence just to name a few. Then there was the guy named Richard Head. I'm not joking.
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 What were his parents thinking? Honestly? They weren't! Idiots! Sorry Tom, I beat you to it! ;-)
