Bad Baby Names

My aunt works as an RN, and she met a woman who had orange jello after her first baby was born, so she named him Orangejello (pron. OrAN-gello) and then lemon jello when she had her second baby - so, you guessed it - Lemonjello (pron. LeMON-gello).

Is this an urban legend?

I have heard the same story in several different parts of the country. Variation of story has them as twins.

I wish. My aunt's been an RN for 35 years and seen it all, and isn't one to repeat 2nd hand stories as her own.

They may've existed somewhere but I find it funny that everytime this story is brought up, everyone claims to know someone who knows someone.

This story has been circulating for yeeeeeears. Some still consider it a myth simply because of how it is brought up.

Someone on the urban name legends site says that oranjello and lemonjello were patients at the Children's Hospital of (Detroit) Michigan. So hopefully AF is talking about that hospital.

Yep. They moved to Columbus from Appalachia too.

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!"

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???

I believe one was conceived on the beach and the other two while hiking or camping

Actually, Margarita means "daisy" in Spanish. I think it's a pretty name.

I have a sister named Margarita as well. It's a popular hispanic name. However, I don't understand why I've met little girls named Alize. Or why anyone would call their baby Hennessey. Come on people. And another thing-please stop naming your children names that end in "anda" as in Shaquanda, or "iesha" as in Bonquiesha (with the exceptions of Wanda and Kiesha). There are even worse names out there. Once I overheard someone call into WEDR 99 Jamz and they told the DJ the name of her cousin's kids, they were so horribly "ghetto" . I do not remember the exact names, but they were twins and they was something along the lines of Shaboinquay or something. The DJ asked if the cousin was on crack...she said as a matter of fact she was!

Also, while your little girl may be a star in your eyes, do not name her Beyonce...

I remember looking at the composites hanging in the sorority house and finding both Twinkle Starr and Dusty Fields.

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...
