I usually run into kids who names are a derivative of their father's. I say oh you're Dad's name is... and they're like "how'd you know?"
example Martinesha...Dad's name is Martin
T'Jasonique...Dad's name is Jason and Mom's name is Monique
Shawnesha, Darrylisha, Markisha, Waynicka, Brianisha
I knew a sibling group, Lexxus, Toyota, and Cutlass
My people got to love em'.

hmmm...
I know two sisters named Egyptian and Assyrian...
A friend of mine's name is YoRel... which is Leroy spelled backwards and, you guessed it, her father's name...
A very close friend of mine [who will probably be mad at me if she ever finds this post] is named JaQualia {pronounced Juh-Kway-Luh} and has cussed out a countless number of people for telling her that her name is ghetto. When I received my roommate assignments my freshman year of college and I saw JaQualia and Aniequa, I knew they would both be AA...

The worst, most humiliating baby names
Ancestry.com shares the silliest, craziest and downright cruelest names of all time
What would compel a parent to bestow a newborn with a name like “Tiny Hooker” or “Fanny Large”? Or an amusing choice like “Wanna Towell"? It’s not just Hollywood’s elite opting for unique, embarrassing names—throughout history, normal people separated their offspring from the masses with truly terrible names.
In “Bad Baby Names,” Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback, of the genealogy Web site Ancestry.com, share thousands of shocking names given to real people, as recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau. Discover the funny names based around common themes, like diseases (Fever Bender, Cholera Peace), food (Bread White, Pomegranate Purple), pets (Good Dog), and if you thought Wednesday Addams was unfortunate—wait till you meet Monday Monday.

Two interesting names I overheard during college football games this weekend:
Antigen and Algae
Guess their mothers just liked the sound of the words without regard to what they meant.

Where I live, there is a glut of names with the suffix -vious. Such as Dontavious, Marquavious and the like. I also tend to see those type of names in the crime reports. Must be alot of anger associated with names like that.

Encountered a fast food clerk named Obsequious ... but she pronounced it "Ob-se-QUI(rhymes with sigh)-us". I don't understand how anyone winds up with a name like that, really. But then, I know people who actually go by Bubba (and get their bills and things sent to them as "Bubba"), so I give up understanding these things ...

Watching the news, a lady named Shauntamika was on air. It's a sad story, but the name is...great.

Thats funny. My sister works at a hotel and I went to pick her up and the name of her co-worker was De' AquaNetta. But the funniest thing was the name of the guest that was checking in at the time. The girls name was Va' Gina.  She had the nerve to get mad when Netta mispronounced it as Vagina Wilson. Well, I guess she could have said Ms. Wilson, lol.

I think if my parents had named me something really horribly embarrassing, I would change it as soon as I got the chance. I can't believe people go by some of these things. Menagerie??? Ecstacee??? My brother and sister have unusual names, but nothing that would cause ridicule ...
