dang
i just remembered a girl that i met once was named maria majia (maheeaa). i kept calling her by her entire name.
it was like singing a song.

I saw a young man working at a store in my neighborhood...are you ready...


COURVOSSIER... (like the liquor). I'm not ever sure I'm spelling it right.

I'll let that speak for itself....Live and let live.

:eek: Well I'm sure we've all come across an Aalize....

Yep, I know of 2 guys with that name and I know of one named Sirvoie (Sir-Voy-Yeah).

ok this thread is cracking me up!!!

some CRAZY names I've heard:

Nakashema
Orintheniqua (Or-in-the-NEE-kwa)

there was this man in my class back in 7th grade--his name was El. EL. WTF????? I remember our teacher asked him how to pronounce it, and he said El. (like the spanish word for the--el.)

I knew this girl when I lived in the dorms--her name was Khian. (pronounced Chi(like the greek letter)-Anne) I liked her name.

There is a young man walking around being called Chablis. That is the name his mama gave him, and his friends call his name like it's nothing. Why not go for Chardonnay (or however you spell it)? There has to be one.

As for me, my mom named me for her favorite TV show at the time. There were so many Danielles, Darnells, LaDelles, LaChelles, Michelles, and other 'ells' out there, she figured she would be unique. I'm Yarnell, but she named me for the pantomine show "Shields and Yarnell". Or maybe it's the other way, but I'm named for a clown! I don't have much room to talk about others, huh? :p At least it's decently interesting, and I have never met anyone else with my name.

One of my oldest friends has made a hobby out of collecting ghetto baby names. Every once in a while she sends me a list. Here are some from the Fayetteville (NC) Observer birth announcements page:

Rontri Daqaye (boy)
La'Keel Tarique (boy)
Javoris Wrayquan (boy)
Katriel Marquiez (boy)
Lexxus Aaliyah Marie (girl)
Ny'Ri Ne'Shell (girl - apparently her parents like apostrophes)
Destiny Channel (girl) - no, not Chanel. CHANNEL.
Traveon Lavaughney (boy - he won't learn to spell his name until he's 12 at that rate)
Aspen Carolina (girl - okay, it's not ghetto, but she's going to grow up to be a stripper)
TyQuan Nosaj (boy)
Sayvion Isaiah Jaheim

And the winner: The mom's name is Qwensheta. She named her daughter Ke'Avah Jah-Kiyya.

My people, my people.

I feel so bad for these children, and I don't even know them. Once again, I wish that people would think about the outside world, namely college and job applications.
Names such as this absoutely can be used by some jacked-up employer to discriminate. :(

I would laugh but this is really sad.

Ok, who noticed that TyQuan's middle name is Jason spelled backwards?

Now if people would put that much thought into other aspects or their lives instead of saddling their kids with unpronounceable names, that the poor child needs a MBA to spell.

:o

I didn't even notice the Jason/Nosaj thing....I was trying to pronounce half those names.

A former coworker daughter's name is: Dashanique and she had a another baby and I don't remember her name but I do know that it is at least 10 letters. She said she liked the long names. Go figure :eek:

My name is Kinetrai(Ki nee tray)....When I was little I used to hate my name...I wanted something pretty like Sabrina or Camille....When I asked my mom where she got my name from..she said that my aunt suggested Netrai(Nee tray) and she decided to at the Ki.......

Kina

God was looking out for both of us. If I had been a boy my middle name was going to be "Barcardi". :eek: Yep, after the drink. My mom though it had a nice ring to it. I told her I know they had to be drunk to think of that crazy stuff!!

I also have a distant cousin who happened to be in the hospital having her baby at the same time my grandmother was in the hospital. My grandmother made my mother and me go see her (even though we had never met the girl--we knew her grandmother though). When we asked the baby's name she said "Tra... uhhh I mean Tre....naw...that ain't it. Here....It's on this piece-a paper!" We looked at her like she had lost her mind! How are you going to name your child something and YOU can't even pronounce it?!?!?! Her "reason" was one of her friends named him and she "forgot" how to pronounce it. "But it's pretty, though" :rolleyes: I'm sure he will be one of those little kids that will get to school and not answer to his name when role is called because he has been called "Man" or "Peanut" his entire life!

My mom delivers babies too and the people that come in there and name their sweet innocent little babies...well, it should be called child abuse! She has personally seen people name their kid Female (Fee-mah-lay), Placenta, Vagina (Va-gee-nah), Clamidia (pronounced like Chlamydia), she had a family name their kid Sir so that every time they said his name, they had to say "sir"...oh and also Nosmo King (No Smoking). I had heard of the Oranjello and Lemonjello before! That's just crazy!

definitely interesting...
