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!
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!
