I went to school with a girl named Stoney. no one ever took her seriously.

I also knew a Michael Jordan...when he told me Jordan was his last name I kept saying, "no really, what's your last name" poor kid.

Okay... my cousins' names (they're all sisters, btw)

April
May
June
Summer (Concieved in July)
August
Autumn (Concieved in October)

I mean, I love all of them and their parents, but man, be more creative!

~K~

ETA: But of course, my name comes from Star Trek... How dorky is that?

LOL .. good thing that she was not conceived
AmericInn of Des Moines!
;)

LOL!
 

I simply can't remember who told me this, but supposedly a girl was named Placenta because her mother hadn't named her upon birth, and she heard the doctor say a word that she thought was lovely.

Also, I knew a girl whose name was Cinnamon Rollins.

:D

Edited to add:

By the way, why is it that women who go by three names are beauty queens and men who go by three are serial killers??

One of my best friends from HS was Michael Jordan G.(last name)

my husband's internet handle is "viking" :) (has been for years

LOOK OUT...my sons are named Erik William, Lars Rune and Nils Anders...)

and yes, we are ELCA Lutheran..and oh yes, we live in Iowa..

Go Hawks and Clones!!!

how about...
Free
Daisy
Iris
Boots
Trip?

Oh, all you crazy, liberal, ELCA Lutherans. :p

I'm going to be a good, conservative, German, LCMS Lutheran and name our boys after Martin Luther. ;)

Oh yea, GO Cyclones! :D

My friend told me once that if she had a daughter, she would name her Annabelle, because you could shorten it to Ann, Anna, Annie, or Belle. I told her that she's not allowed to name her kid that, because Annabelle is a cow's name (no offense to any Annabelle's out there.) Seriously, I think of a big cartoon cow everytime I hear that name. Luckily, my friend changed her mind (after I made fun of her a bunch of times ;)).


My boyfriend's boss's name is Karma. She is not Indian, and her last name is an Irish name, which makes it sound even worse. My boyfriend, who is Indian, told me that no Indian person would really name their kid Karma, because it's a word, not a name. He said it would be like naming your kid Book or Tree. (BTW, I am dreading having children and having to find an Indian name that can be pronounced correctly by me and my super-white family.)


My cousin's name is Tia Marie, and my aunt swears that she was not named after the liquor. We don't really believe her.


I really don't like repeating names within a family - I have 2 cousins named Jennifer (same last name). It's so confusing, and it's not even like you can differentiate by calling them by their full names, like Jen Smith and Jen Jones. I also don't like naming sons after fathers, because if the name isn't something that can be shortened a few different ways (i.e., William Sr could be Bill and William Jr could be Billy), it gets confusing. Plus, the kid eventually gets sick of being called "Little" (name) after awhile.

Well up until my cousin was born we had normal names in our family...and my uncle named him Colton....Hello! That is a city name...and sickening enough they don't live that far from that city.

As for names that are messed up...did anyone see from the link, "Blondquita"? WTF is that? My mom had a secretary named Aquanetta, and a client of hers was named Phat Bui. (Pronounced fat boy) I didn't believe her until she had me call his voicemail and I just about died. I'd mention the names of my BFs fraternity brother's GF...but I don't know if any of her sisters or people post here, so no...but suffice to say her mom gave her and her two sisters total porn names.

I've got some students with bizarre names, it will get better every year I am sure.:rolleyes:

THANK YOU!!

My dad an i share the same first name. The only difference is our middle names, so i'm not a junior. Still at 24 i'm being called "Little" John by family members. Its irritating, especially when i'm now bigger than my dad.

On my dad's side, there's me and him who are both named John. His sister married a guy named Dom, and they named their first son Dom and the second one Tom. So, when we're visiting the NY family, there's John, John, Dom, Dom and Tom. It's like a bad Dr. Seuss book.

My cousin named her son Kolten. I think it's cute.

Well in my family my brother is named after my dad.. both Michaels.. my dad has always gone by mickey though to family and friends.. though my brother just goes as michael. Now the catch is I am dating someone named Michael (goes as mike).. haha..

then my cousin is named after his dad John Michael.. he uses his full name.. so thats not so confusing in our fam..

most of my family has used all family names.. which I will probably do the same.. I was almost Victoria Elyssa though (which is a family name but my mom and dad feared people calling me Vicky..)

I have a sister named Sunny. Sunny is her real first name, and it isn't short for anything. In the newspaper the other day, I saw a baby girl named Bradleigh. I had an ex-boyfriend who wanted to name his son Cameron Alexander M(last name), and call him Cam, in addition to having his initials being CAM.

Its just not happening.

There is a student in one of my classes named Hye Min. Everytime I talk to her I purposely pronounce her name as "Haymin" because I can't look at her with a straight face and call her "Hymen."

My parents names are John and Linda. After they got divorced, my dad married a Linda. My mom has been seeing a guy named John for a long time. How weird is that?

A girl I use to work with was named Holly Wood. Why do parents do this to their children?!

Sounds like the Phoenix family. We all remember actor River Phoenix right?

Well he had syblings with the names, Tree, Hart, and Lake (he might have had more but I can't remember )

i would also not allow my child to name themself, or have an older sibling name them for me....unless that child was old enough to know that "claire" is a name, and "tic tac" is not...

my mom was named by her 9 yr old sister who was spoiled b/c my g-parents thought she would be their only child (rough pregnancy), and they wanted to make her "feel better"....*coughs* stupid! *coughs, coughs*

so, my mom is named after a very popular doll at the time....the "terri lee" doll......

i will never understand ppl naming their kids "moon" and "starry", etc get a dog. have fun naming that :rolleyes:....and hello peekbo (sp?) the skiier??? never let a 2 yr old name themself!!!!

as far as what they want to call themselves later in life, fine. a nickname won't be yelled out on a loud speaker for the whole world to hear at their graduation. (yeah, i'm talkin to you, "buttsex") ;)

more than the buttsex?

lmao.....kitsooooo... ;)

i dunno.....ask blaine...er....buttsex, himself.

Re: Naming sons after fathers...
 

Yeah, I'd never do that either. I think it's nobel and all, but my ex proved to me what sort of SCARY things could happen later in life...like stealing your father's identity and SSN to gain credit! Not that other, more respectable sons would do that...but it COULD (and does) happen.

SAD!

Hush yourself because Picabo is a Native American word meaning of shining waters and is the name of a town in Idaho. her aprents let her chose her name at two. Don't think Kitso and I won't have buffalo and musk oxen trample your no shoe wearing Kentucky ass. ;)

I love you Mon :D

P.S. I went to school with a Starleen and a Rainbow Moon...and my nickname is Buffy, but my friends call me Miss Thang, imagine THAT yelled at law school graduation "J.D. Miss Thang Buffy" I think NOT.

Actually, his siblings are named Rain Joan of Arc (now Rainbow), Joaquin (aka Leaf), Libertad Mariposa (literally Liberty Butterfly), and Summer Joy. Still just as unusual, though.

My niece is Emerald Grace...named after two of her great-grandmothers. We call her Emmy. My other two nieces are Kayla and Gretchen.

I have a cousin named Amber Sunrise.

I went to high school with a girl named Starlight, she went by Star.

My friend has three newphews, Keegan, Skylar, and Doran.

And as far as unusual spellings...my name is Rebekah....not as uncommon as I once thought, but still not common enough to find my name on anything. It is, however, the Biblical spelling of the name...

Family friends told their 3-year-old that he could name his baby sister.... He chose to name her Strawberry Chocolate.

The parents quickly decided it was not a good idea and talked him into Brenna, but I thought that was hysterical!!! For the first year of the poor kid's life I'd ask my mom, how's Strawberry Chocolate?

~Allison

yeah, yeah, yeah.... :p

i don't think ol' girl knew that's what it meant, though....she just named herself after her favorite game. just me, but i think that's....odd. it's ok, though, "miss thang", i love you, too! ;)

un no more this here talk 'bout me not werring shews...i gots me a perr....i jis save em fer speshul o-ccashuns liiike weddins un funeruls un stuff. ain't wantin ta mess em up!

:D :p ;) :cool:

Rob Morrow, Dr. Joel Fleischman on Northern Exposure, and his wife Debbon named their daughter Tu.

Tu Morrow...

They should be taken out back and beaten senselessly for their atrocious naming!

I hate Asian names and would never name my sons an Asian name. They're hard to pronounce and people assume you're Chinese if they read it.

-Rudey

what's an asian name? you're not asian so that's irrelevant.

You make no sense. Oh and hey, Jesse Jackson called. He said to tell you, You're not black!

-Rudey
--Now he'll tell me he's smarter than me, I'm reaching, or something about how his fraternity is so tough. HAHA!
