What are these "mothers" thinking?
 

Now, I've heard it all. That's plain nasty.
Anybody stupid enough to do that to their child needs a hardcore azz whipping. Use a stun gun, a cattle prod, whatever.

Why do some of us do this to our kids? We have enough to deal with. No parent should saddle a child with a name like that or any "ghettofabulous" name.

ROFLMAO
 

:eek:
That poor baby

When I was student teaching back in 98
 

I had a student who had a daughter. One day she showed me her daughter's pictures (precious little girl) and I asked her what was her name. She made this grand glorious production by writing it on the board.

First she wrote an A so I started thinking Ariane, Angela, etc.
NOPE!!
Then she wrote a U so I started thinking AUDREY
WRONG AGAIN
Then she wrote an N which I was clueless on

When she finished, she had written AUNESTY = HONESTY!!!!!!:eek: :eek:


I was PISSED :mad: becuase one day that baby is going to be in a spelling bee or something and her word will be honesty and she will be up at the microphone and spell her NAME!!:eek:

Anyway so then she told me what she planned to name her future kids: Integrity, Infinity and Justice. I told her might as well as Truth and Liberty for all. :p :p

My little brother once had a girlfriend named.......Courvosier (that's right...the liquor). By reading the previous posts, that name is pretty popular.

But this is what really tripped me out one day: I was at the nail salon getting a manicure and there was this black girl there with a LIME GREEN WEAVE, 10 inch fingernail claws, a gold framed tooth in her mouth and air-brushed designed toenails (I'm not even gonna get into what she was wearing). Girlfriend had a tongue ring and a tattoo on her arm of some guys name. So my friend was with me and she called my name. And the ghetto girl was like, "Oooooh, you're name is sooo pretty. I wish mine was, but it's so ugly." I was like, "oh, what's your name?" Mind you, I was expecting her to say Shawnquisha, Tajuanette, "Boomquisha," or something to that effect......she was like "My name is Susan Marie.":confused: Something wasn't matching up...

i went to school w/a girl named alfreaka veronique
i also went to school w/a girl named starla aquanetta
i've heard of a girl named crayzeena

i graduated with a...

YumYum Nykeishia Bue LaTonia

Of course we cracked up at graduation rehearsal.. why did she think we were "hating"???

I am in tears.
 

ROTFLMAO.

**************************************************


Sista,
Just think of how many of us would lose in the first round if we had a "Name" spelling bee - spelling names either one way or the "ebonics" way!! And Don't leave out the pronounciation of names either!!

Example: Keysha - (no puns intended) can be spelled

Keisha, Kesha, Keesha, Kisha, Ceesha, (yes I went there) Keeycha, Ke Ke (I had to put that one in there - I got tired of spelling)!! I know there's more!!

Re: Re: When I was student teaching back in 98
 

I agree, the Kecia I know spells her name one of the ways not mentioned above.

I'm no Boomy (short for Boomquisha)
 

ROFLMAP&GAO! What a great vignette, thank you for sharing.

1). You are not even close!

2). You are getting a little warmer.

Keep trying!
RM

SORRY *incorrect buzzer sound*

Almost, but not quite!

Keep trying.

HINT: Not enough syllables!

ROFLMAO! This is too funny!
How about:
1) NO-U-GUINEE-AH
OR
2) Kay - U - GUINEE - AH

You keep missing the target.....
 

Between your responses, you should be able to zero in on it. But I gotta do the ritual as far as your responses here:

SORRY! *insert buzzer sound!*

In my 60s Public Service Announcement male voice:

Almost, but not quite!

Oh, and the 500 cyber dollars has now been dropped to 100 cyber dollars and a night on the town with yours truly cause I had to help yall.
:D

RM

Re: You keep missing the target.....
 

How about:
1) KAY - NEW - GUINEE - AH ???

LOL!

I just wanted to take a stab at this one! is it noenia? (know' e-nia):confused:

*****

Ok Mr. RM - I'll take a shot at it:
KA-NU-GEE-NEE-AH??? ;)

THAT'S IT!!!
 

CORRECT!!!! *Bells ring, Match Game theme music plays, audience roars in cheers and applause. Actor Jack Klugman (Oscar on "The Odd Couple") runs around the stage, spins the Match Game Star Wheel like a maniac, runs through the set, knocks over a prop, gives Marcia Wallace a kiss on the cheek, and gives SFactor a big hug before settling down and returning to his seat.*

RM reluctantly gives SFacter his/her CY$100 in twenties, counting off, 2,4,6,8, $100 cyber dollars.

Now how I am going to give SFactor that night on the town is beyond me. Shoot, after paying her, I'm broke!!!! :D

Oops, I almost forgot, D.COM should technically get the glory because she actually got it correct first. But because I am a nice guy, I will make SFactor and D.COM co-winners and they will split the prize money *RM takes three twenties from SFactor and gives it to D.COM and tells D.COM that she owes SFactor CY$10* Hee hee.

Congratulations SFactor and D.COM, and a big thanks to all those who participated :cool:

Re: THAT'S IT!!!
 

First, I would like to thank God....
Rain Man, it has been an honor to have the opportunity to participate in your "Guess That Name" Show. I couldn't have done it without your hints. I would also like to thank the fans and other contestants, because without them there would be no show. SFactor, I know you got BIG hints from my responses, but it's all good. We should go out sometime and have a blast with the money...lol.

Okay, gotta go now...where's my trophy? (LOL!)

http://www.plauder-smilies.de/nosmile/claps.gif

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Yes I Thank God too - for not letting me name my children names that they probably couldn't pronounce until they turn 18!!

Rain Man - you are a wonderful host for splitting the prize or we would have had to go before one of those Judges: Judy, Joe Brown,Greg Mathis or Milian (People's Court)!! Your next goal should be finding another name for us to pronounce (by means of cyberspace of course) or become a host of a game show!!! :D I believe you have your remote control programmed on the game show network!!!

D.COM - here's your gift from me that I bought with my cyber dollars!! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/nosmile/present.gif It's the least I can do for all that you've done!! :D

MyMy
 

I know you all have seen this one. *Orangejello*(O-ran-juh-luh)
Please, that is orange jello.
I do know of a girl named *Vagina*. Her mother was from Africa and didn't know any better. But to make it so bad, she still goes by Vagina. Come on now, shorten it to Gina.

My friend who is a math fanatic is naming her daughter
*Equation*(But she is pronouncing it Equaysha)

I know a boy named *RaNatre*(Ra-Naugh-tre)
We just called him Night Train.

I know a girl named Tree. Please

Here are a few more:

Tacola
Shamonica
Tamonica:rolleyes:
Rashida(but she pronounces it Rash-uh-da
Quinetta
YoShianna
JaKeiththea


Well that's it.

Thank you SFactor...now where would you like to go with the CYBER money?

Japan, Singapore, Disney World?
:D

Girl, can we go to all three?? - A sista just wants to travel!! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/nosmile/globe.gif

what do you all think about...
 

The names Jaydyn & Jayden? For a girl and boy respectively...

Re: what do you all think about...
 

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith named thier son Jaden. Also Andre Agassi just had a son who is named Jayden. One of my close friends named her second son Jaden. I think this name is getting pretty popular. Although I only know of boys with it so far.

My boyfriend's son is named Jalen. I have come across this one for a boy and a girl (Jalynn- and a myriad of other spellings)

Ohhhhh
 

Okay, I kinda thought I was making up a name... lol

I like those names... They are growing on me. Not that I am finna have no kids. :D


Jalen, Jaylen, Jalyn... I like 'em all.

Re: MyMy
 

Yup! Orangejello and Lemonjello after the mother's favorite desserts.

Also, I've heard of Eureka and Odyssey.

Today while @ the dealership getting my car fixed (minor, TYJ :D) I encountered a 2 or 3 year old babyperson ;) named JA RULE!!!!!

No really.

JA "murder" RULE. :o :eek: :confused:

Umm...what kind of crack was Mama Boomshaqualesha smoking when she named the babyperson?
:eek: :eek:

The parents were normal looking. They both wore dreads and they were cracking me up in the waiting room. Heck his mama saved me $8 off my bill. :D His name might be JARU but they sure were saying JA RULE, emphasis on the L because I would look up from my book when they called his name.

Whew. I hope the lil' man's name is Jaru.
:D

Okay- I am LMAO as I read these! If ya'll didn't see the comedian on BET (whose name I have forgotten), he got on the subject of ghetto names. Just a few that I remember...

Vaseline (vaz-lin)
Escalade (es-ka-la-dee)
Flossy
Mentholadum
Nisani (as in Nissan)
Potatolicious
Appreciante

He was too funny! I wish I had the entire list to share with ya'll...

But to top it all off, I have a friend who just had a baby and named her hypnotica (after the new bright blue alcoholic beverage hypnotic). I assumed that the hypnotic was the cause of her having her baby. Oh Lawd! What will be next???:confused:

Flossy is actually a nickname for Florence, an old-fashioned name.
Those others, though, are pathetic.
I feel sorry for your friend's baby.

Thank you for your cooperation. :p :p

My response to all these crazy names...
 

...can be summed up in just one Super Match question:
(as the Super Match board spins around on the turntable)

We polled a recent studio audience and got their best response to this: *slide reveals Audience Match question*

"WHAT THE ___________ "

Here it goes one mo' 'gin:

***Friends don't let friends give their children crazy azz names***

Thank you for your cooperation. :p :p

Nike is short for many names such as Morunike, Adenike, which are Yoruba names, found in Nigeria, West Africa :)

But we ALLLLLL know...some of these people didn't have the Motherland in mind when they named their 'churen', they had Air Force Ones, in their minds! :D

Hehe, true though, folks crazy nowadays :p
