Bad Baby Names

[carnation]

The Homecoming Queen (KD) when I was at Mississippi State was named Ida Cline.

I once met a girl named Summer Winter Camp. Also, a colleague has a niece named Anna Mull--they didn't think about how the name sounded until she was almost in school!

And of course, many Pi Phis know of our famous Ima Hogg (philanthropist and Texas governor's daughter). And before anyone asks, it's only an urban legend that she had a twin named Ura!

One of my mom's friends is a teacher at an elementary school, and she had a girl in her class named "Va-GEE-na"...sadly, it wasn't spelled the way it was pronounced.

a teacher i had in high school was mike grifone.

and another's last name was mull, and he wanted to name his youngest daughter anna, because he thought it was funny.

I was wondering how long it would take for these two to come up. Let me guess - there was a third kid, name pronounced Sha-theed, spelled Shithead?

Hence why people think it's an urban legend. It comes up with every baby name discussion and it's always "I know someone who knows someone."

My friend had a student named Margarita. I guess she was named after the drink that lead to her conception . . .

"Here's little Margarita, and Pina Colada, and Captain Morgan!"

Yeah, I had heard about these two long before the Internet. I wonder if they know they're so famous!?

Zabasearch, which searches most public records, found 0 Oranjello matches and some matches for people with the last name Lemonjello, but no first names. Hmm...

how could i forget:

the owner of a small town newspaper(town located about 30 miles from my hometown) had the last name of green. the greens had 4 children named forrest, hunter, kelly and emerald.

one of my high school teachers was married to a woman named precious memory-she was called memory.

Which also reminds me of my sister's friends. Three brothers who were named after the places of their conception: Surf, Rocky and Cliff.

So, they started in the beach, all"From Here to Eternity", and then worked their way up the cliffs???
