:eek: Oh my!!!! Poor child has to live with the name and humuliation for the rest of her life....

I don't even want to get started on some of these names!

The most interesting I have heard on the outside is the name...Shaquantisha. But, the names some people have on GC are cute.

I think my name is unusual...it's Artisha and I've never heard it outside my family. I also have a cousin named Argentina....crazy, man!

Sister Friends,

I have an African American student in my World History and Geography I course and her name is Sequinta Neville.

I have never heard that name before! And she'll let you know if you pronounce it wrong!

Serioussigma22:D

I've heard an...interesting...name for a baby girl...Cache Mone' (prononced Cash Monay)...

I also know a woman who is named after her mother Elaine...her name is Eniale (pronounced E-Nell).

Interesting Names
 

One of my friends new baby niece's name is Iamunique. I kid you not. When he told me last night I thought he was joking. I asked him how to spell it and he said just like u say it. I am Unique. I died laughing.

Sister Friends!

Iamunique!

Is really bizarre!:D

Serioussigma22

Oh please! Stop the madness right now!

weird names
 

There is a girl who works at the Taco Bell near where I work..her name is Noxema....but another weird one is a girl I sort of know through other people named her baby girl Sierra Sunset Breeze....her last name is Boring.

Okay so her name is Sierra Sunset Breeze Boring? :confused:

yes
 

Yes - her full name is Sierra Sunset Breeze Boring :eek:

Re: Interesting Names
 

How about my roommate told me tonight her friend's baby's name is Uunique [pronounced:You Unique]. Let me find out "unique" is making a comeback. lol

My godchild has a very unique name. Her name is Nubia Freedom. I called her "Newbie". I just hope my baby is able to get a job.

Okay, now I'm scared....:eek: :(

One of my sorors who is a teacher has a student named Shithead (pronounced Shy Thead). If I came across that on the first day while calling roll, I might end up getting fired!:eek:

LMAO!!!!! You have to be kidding!!!!! Please say you are kidding!!!!

Pretty3grl,

Ha! Ha! Ha! I can't stop laughing please parents, black folks stop the madness! Why in the world would a person emotionally damage a child by giving him/her a name like that?

Serioussigma22:eek:

I wish that I could say that I was kidding, but I'm not!!! My soror says that he is not old enough yet to realize the fatal flaw with his name so when she asked him how to pronounce it, he did so without batting an eye. I just ask, didn't she have any friends or family to point this out to her? I know that she may have been out of it when she named him, but they do give you 2 weeks to change it. I think that the teachers at his school should pitch in for a name change (at least hyphenate and change the i to y (Shy-thead). Poor kid. He will definately have to grow up "hard".

hey mstisha25. my LS's name is Artisha. I think that's a very nice name and hardly unusual. Another soror's friend named his daughter Imastar (i'm a star) :rolleyes:

My sandZ works for an elementary school, and though this name isn't "unusual" i know this little boy gets jokes...she had a student named Austin Austin :confused: ...first and last name...what his parents were thinking, i can't quiet say!

I can't think of a name to add at the moment..although I know I've heard some odd ones..but this thread making me laugh out loud!:D

lilZetagirl, that reminds me of a woman that I used to work with. Her maiden name was Thompson, and her married name was also Thompson. She now goes by Thompson-Thompson. She says that she wanted to keep her maiden name (WTF???). I told her that I understand women keeping their maiden name, but in her case, it was just, well, stupid.

My mother would have named me Monte Valari if I had been a boy. Monte is from Monte Carlo which is the kind of car my parents owned. And Valari is from the Valari which is what my mom wanted to drive.

*Thanking God that I'm not a man*

But then the girl name they chose was "Tiffany."

Me and my sister.
 

My sister's name is Sadikia. Pronounced=Sah-dah-kee-yah
My middle name is Ilham.

Oh, lordy! My mother is an OB/GYN, and she has heard the most RIDICULOUS baby names... a patient once thanked my mom for naming her kids for her. My mom was confused, so the woman pointed to the hospital bracelets on the babies; one boy, one girl. My mom almost died laughing when she realized the woman was pointing at the sex of the babies; she thought the hospital had named her kids 'male' and 'female'; mallie and femallie!:eek:
She has also heard parents naming their kids things like 'Ovaria', 'Testicules' (hehehe), and 'Aharashakinta'. Why would you give a kid a name they (and everyone else!) can't spell?
I like my name; Dale is easy to spell and everyone can say it!;)
LOL, my roommate just read this and told me that she knows a woman who named her twins 'Lemongelo' and 'Orangelo', but spelled it 'Lemon-jello' and 'Orange-jello'. What was she thinking?!?!
This is a fun thread!

Are you forreal?
 

Oh my goodness, you have to be kidding!! LOL:eek: :eek: :eek:

'I can't stop laughing"
 

LAUGHING REALLY LOUD!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D

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.
