I hope this child has a future in professional sports.

My Aunt teaches in an elementary school and she had a student named "Shithead" (pronounced Shy-thead). Thankfully she had time to figure out how it was pronounced before she started calling the role on the first day of class.

A couple of years back on another thread my sister commented that if she ever had twin daughters she would like to name them those fine old Spanish names Conception and Contraception.
I suggested she might consider Mierda and Basura, and then she threw a shoe at me.

Today there was a girl named Luxury in my class.

I've heard the Le-ah from lots of teachers who "knew someone" with the "Le dash ah" or "Shithead" in their class. I think it's an urban legend.

I agree with you.

We definitely had a La-a (la dash a) last year. We also currently have a Ses, a Cannabis, and a Urmajeste (Your majesty).

It amazes me that the government limits what you can put on you license plate, but not what you can name your child.

A few weeks ago, a crime suspect's arrest was on the news and his first name was Yomajesty. I actually laughed out loud when the news guy had to say his name.

Newborn twins named Orangejello and Lemonjello - I have a friend in Birmingham AL who processed these kids' lab tests.

You can always move to New Zealand!

Some of the names in this article are RIDICULOUS.

...acceptable names must not cause offense to a reasonable person, not be unreasonably long and should not resemble an official title and rank.

It's no surprise then that the names nixed most often since 2001 are "Justice" (62 times) and "King" (31 times).

Some of the other entries scored points in the creativity department -- but clearly didn't take into account the lifetime of pain they'd bring.

"Mafia No Fear." "4Real." "Anal."

Oh, come on!

Then there were the parents who preferred brevity through punctuation. The ones who picked '"*" (the asterisk) or '"."(period).

I'm seeing a lot of names here that I think are closer to urban legends. Some of these names/stories mentioned above I heard about 30 years ago in Texas- always a friend who had a friend who was a nurse, etc.

So, along those lines I present another one that I think is urban legend: Porche Corvetta Ford.

The person who told me that one is the same one who shared orangejello and lemonjello as well as Female (fe-mah-lee) and shithead (shi-thead). No one is truly that stupid, and no one is so stumped as to coming up with a name as to read it on a bracelet or the food on a tray.

Snopes at your service.

And I think Snopes is right that there's more than a little racism, classism and regionalism going on in these urban legends.

I can assure you - they are.

A friend of mine (LDS) sent this to me. I LOVE it, and if you're a Mormon or are familiar, you'll get a kick out of it too.
