Unfortunate Baby Names
 

Pair told not to name son '4real'
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed. Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.

My brother is convinced that his name - not especially well chosen by Mom - has led to his being who he is.

I wonder how Frank Zappa's four children: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen feel about thier names.

Anybody have complaints about theirs?

My name is common in my mother's native country (named after one of her brothers who died of TB at 14)...but unusual here in the states.

My younger brother was given an American name, however.

Not ashamed of my name, but strangers and new aquaintances destroy it constantly...not to mention the numerous plaques, certificates, and trophies that had to get sent back for spelling corrections...

Met Rusty Tincani once.:D

Kid I went to school with was named Uterus Eagle. Pronounced his first name You-Terrace. Nice guy. later became a beloved orderly in the community hospital. Died a few years ago and I heard a surprising number and quite an eclectic group of people showed-up for his wake and funeral.

Soooo...............what is it?

My sister in law named her son Leviathan. She said she wanted to call him Levi. So I said why didn't you just name him Levi? That would have been too easy. Poor kid.
A friend of mine named her daughter Antoinette because she wanted to call her Toni ??:confused:
That's not such a bad name though, not as bad a s Leviathan.

Never name your kid "Satan".

Is that advice from personal experience?

twins with the name of Unique and Monique...

My aunt, a high school teacher in NC, once had two girls, twin sisters in her class. Their names were Regina (pronounced Ra-jee'-nah) and Vagina (pronounced Vah-jye'-nah). No, I did NOT make that up.

I cannot believe that. No way!

No kidding, Kuan. That's absolutely true.

"Hitler" would probably be a bad choice, as would "Sue" if your child is male.

In the course of my daily tasks at work, I just saw the name "Latrina." Somewhat unfortunate. There was a local kid named "Blueberry Pancake," and the two "Arthur" brothers, "King" and "Boo" (also from nearby).

My dad once had an employee whose last name was Cash. His father named him "Fourdollars," because that's all the money he had when the kid was born.

He should have learned to play a guitar and had a great career in country music instead of being a construction worker.

"And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him . . . Bill or George, any damn thing but Sue! I still hate that name!"

How about $h!thead? (shi-they-ad)

I've seen that name here while helping move school records to the new safe room... I nearly died laughing

I had a friend named Rain, last name Bow. He changed it himself though.

I pity the individual named Mike Hunt.

My brother brought that name up, our kids have the same pediatrician and he was commenting on the name of one of his patients. The parents made up a name with a sound they liked and then did the spelling, never taking into account what it spelled. :confused:

my apologies
 

I'm really sorry, Sue. I didn't mean to offend you . . . . :D

I remember way back when, a pro baseball player named Al Kaline...

I have an Al Kaline baseball card somewhere. How 'bout Coco Crisp of the BoSox?

Some good one's alright...

My sis in law was in the National Maternity Hospital having her first (bout 7-8 years ago now) in a semi private ward (6 beds to a room, large room) when she heard one of the other occupants of the room informing her family of her new daughters name....Pocahontas! FFS :eek:
Now i mean no ill or disrespect to the name at all, but the mother in question was an inner city dweller from , lets say an under priviliged caucausian background, she must have got the name from the Disney movie of the time.

A girl i know was christened Ita, (pronounced Eat-A ), a not totally uncommon name in some rural areas of Ireland (there's probably a Saint Ita somewhere), but she married a guy with the surname McGee.
Let me let you all in on somethin' - in Ireland, Gee (rhymes with me), is, how shall i put this delicately, a slang name for a ladies..well...ladygarden..

So her name is Ita McGee :D:D

Oh really.
That must be Hen3ry's younger brother...lol.

How about Mergatroid, Griffin, Gauge, Smokey, or Reina..? These are my lovely neighbor's kids names..

All five of these kids, have had troubles in school over the years...

My mother told me of a girl she knew named Valentine Red.

Call it my cultural ignorance or whatever but many latinos are named Jesus and I never really got that, it makes me queasy.

Adolf isn't popular as a name anymore though.

Aren't those Eddie Murphy's kids?

Moon Unit....Keith Richards' daughter I think.

Apple..Goldie Hawn's grand daughter's name I think..

Frank Zappa's.

I can't remember what skit that was from.

Beverly Hills Cop the second - Eddie was in the gun club with that bag of "explosives" and he was trying to con the receptionist out of ten dollars.

My HS girlfriend and pal in later life was Penny Cash and her sister was Robin Cash. I wonder what their parents were thinking when they named them.

I used to have a wonderful little book called REMARKABLE NAMES OF REAL PEOPLE by John Train. He supposedly researched this and had proof that they were as advertised, names of real people.

Some favorites:

Suparporn Poopattana
Gaston J. Feeblebunny
Mary Louise Pantzaroff (!)
Mustafa Kunt (no lie)
Humperdink Fangboner
George Baretits, US Army
Cinderella Hardcock
Aphrodite Chuckass
Sodawater Bottlewalla
and
Mrs. Belcher Wack Wack (sounds like something Dave Barry and W. C. Fields could come up with)

If you ever see this little book, buy it!

In my wife's nephew's graduating class was "MISS THEERANUTCH ASSARASAKORN" sheesh!@:)

and its pronounced Ah-pell

lame ass rich people...

When I was a teacher aid in German class I would help grade the tests and such.. one girls name was Porshuh... ya know.. like a Porsche... but spelt how it sounded... I wanted to slap the parents of that child... retards

Texas Governor Hogg's daughter's have the pole position for strange names.

A woman who gave birth at the hospital I used to work at in Jax called her daughter Placenta. She had heard the word used during the birth and liked the sound of it...

When I graduated there was a gentleman a few names after mine called Fuk Yu. Obviously it didn't mean the same thing in China, or wherever he was from, as it does here. The graduation was in Kentucky.

That reminds me of a Vietnamese classmate *I* graduated with in Tampa: Hai Ho.

After you both graduated did he go off to work?

Heh
 

My dad works with this electrical engineer named...get this....Cornelius Flakes! hahaha. Coco Crisp for the Red Sox is bad too.

What about his latino half-brother who was born in Canada.... Elk Hunt?

Or Dick Hurtz

I used to deliver mail to a guy named Sylvester Turnipseed.

Mindy Poindexter- for a boy. No BS he was in my highschool graduating class.

Probably fake, but my fave: Adolph Oliver Bush

I knew a kid when I was in high school who was named Richard Head. I never could understand how loving parents could name their son a name like that.

Can't recall the exact spelling, but it was a far eastern fellow I went to UofA with: Kau Saimu. Cow say moo???

How about these:

"Busted Rubber"
"Forgotten Pill"
"Late"

:D

I'd forgotten about a girl in High School, Willa Fishburn. As I got older I found out that it will if substantially overcooked or dropped in a fire.

I know a guy named Dick Strong

The founder of Strong Mutual Funds, now owned by Wells Fargo?

Didn't seem to hurt him.

Strong Financial Services.

The $60M fine hurt him pretty good.
