I was at the park yesterday when I kept hearing a mom call her toddler "Mav." I was hoping that I just wasn't hearing her correctly, but much to my disapointment she later yelled "Maverick _______ come back here now."
Maverick? Seriously?

I know someone with an older kid (maybe kindergarten age?) named Maverick and it really suits the personality of the child. I could think of so much worse for kids.
I have a new friend who plans to go to medical school, and she has a first name that is one of those people may take less seriously. Maybe she has a workable middle name.

I once knew someone who's first name was Ecclesiastes. Just like the book of the bible. Great book, but I wouldnt name my kid after it.

 I couldn't spell that off the top of my head to save my life despite all my Bible school training. WOW! Just WOW! I hope they had a DAMN GOOD nickname like Lee or something.

Actually no. She went by the whole name. I agree a nickname or middle name would be better, unless they were just as bad. She had a normal last name though.

I work at a pediatric clinic, and one of strangest names I have ever heard was Con Air Nicholas Cage, and then the last name.

The clinic is where I knew Ecclesiastes! Medical clinics are a good or bad place to hear messed up names and funky spellings! There was a girl in the office who's name was Pocahontas.

Haha, I see so many weird/strange names/odd spellings of names @ work. I thought of another one after I posted this. This woman named her child Phelany (like Felony), and when she was asked why she named her that, she replied that all of her family members were felons, so it seemed like a good name .

O.M.G. SMH. Really, what is wrong with people? That's just ridiculous. Why not just name your kid Anus because everyone has one?
