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.

That's what I thought too, but kids don't usually get maternity leave from school...which is why I asked. Normally it's some sort of independent study agreement.

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?

I went to elementary school with someone named "Mister." It confused me to no end. His last name was Jones or something generic like that so teachers and students were always saying "Mister Jones." I didn't understand why he got so much respect! Then, when the yearbook came out at the end of the year, I learned it was his name..

I hope he doesn't have sisters named "Miss" and "Misses."

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.

Way to be supportive of your child having the potential to do better

Jermaine Jackson has a kid named Jermajesty.

Let the records show that that's something I will never name my own child.

Some teacher is Northeast Alabama is gonna be in trouble in a few years. A friend told us that she has met someone who has named her triplets Ayden, Brayden, and Cayden. (See earlier posts if you don't know what kids with the -ayden names do to teachers.)

I had a girl in a class one time named "Vaginia". It was supposed to be pronounced Vah-gin-ee-a. You can imagine how many times someone glanced at her name in print and said "vagina" without thinking.

I would've had it legally changed the second I turned 18. There's no way she doesn't get sick of people accidentally calling her "vagina".

^^^Oh good god.

My mom was telling me the other day about how she recently registered a baby named "Queen of Egypt." Oy.
