Teachers: the names you will never name your own kids

[KillarneyRose]

I knew a set of twins a few years back who were named "Deion" and "Dieon" (pronounced Dee-yon and Die-yon) I know the spelling is correct because, well, their mom had their names tattooed one on each shoulder.

Never....ever....ever would I name a child that. Ever.

A youngster celebrating a birthday has their name and age up in lights near here this week, just because their parents held his/her birthday experience at a local establishment. The name is:

SeMyn.

Age 6.

Lucky Child. Happy Birthday.

I used to like the name Gabriel until a Gabriel assisted one of my boyfriends in cheating on me. And just recently, a different Gabriel did the same thing to a friend of mine. And yes, both of them were aware of the relationships and actually knew and hung out with us prior to the cheating.

I hate that name.

And how much do you want to bet the pronunciation is Shay-meen, or something like that?

I found another!

He's Russian, so I'm not sure how it's pronounced.

The NYTimes just published a story about a homeless young lady in NYC named Dasani. After the water. Her mother's name is Chanel, so...

I think a cute name for twins would be Dasani and Aquafina.

Not a teacher but school made it very clear I would never use the names:
Kalynn
Shannon
Matthew
Adam

============================
When I was a new Lieutenant in Germany I went into a gasthaus for lunch. The daily special was 'Oxen schwanze suppe' I did not realize what schwanze meant in German being only familiar with it as the Yiddish word for penis. So I was not about to order "Bull Dick Soup". Somehow that just did not sound at all appetising.

One of my teacher friends decided to name her daughter "Makynzie"

Vaginae and SeMyn are a match made in bad name heaven.

Poor, poor children.

I saw this online today. I'll be sad if it's real.

What's even sadder is if he has a sister named Houston Astros Stratemeyer.

I got that reference They are a sad baseball team, but I like the little train that chugs around their dome every time they hit a home run.

^^ Saw the original. This isn't too surprising knowing the areas the parents and grandparents are from. His brother's name is Hunter, so more normal yet still on the same line.
