[L98Fiero]

I kid you not, two days ago I heard an announcement over our PA system at work refer to an "Aquanetta". Named after a woman's hair care product?

[varina davis]

We have an Anastassia and I once knew a girl named Cleopatria.

[vollmond]

The list of the 20 whitest girl names looks like the roster of many travelling soccer teams.

[MissNomer]

Oh, my goodness! I KNOW someone named Trygve! (Or at least I used to.) He's probably in his early 20s now.

My grandmothers both had unusual names: Gilla and Isola. Isola had a sister named Alura (who married a guy named Rome).

[WestTexasWend]

Great! How about an all-star list of athlete names? You know...what to name your future NFL Hall of Fame sons, etc. ;)

(Kudos to the parents of Deke Bake, DT, Texas Tech for a great football name pick...and think of all the funny ones they could've come up with.)

[alisasny]

Proud Mom of Edward and Kristina who thankfully still show up on no current lists...: )))

Middle names are Anthony and Rose : )))

[Phantom Lord]

Guy I play poker with has a son name Phineas

[texianyankee]

My Great-grandmother, who was born in 1875 and died at the age of 99, was named Matilda Bellezora. Everyone called her "Belle."

[biblewonk]

What is a race neutral name?

Where does Horacious Bonar fit in? I know where it usually fits in. {snicker}

[Phantom Lord]

The best sports names are in the NHL

[subterfuge]

I do see the crossover there. I don't however, see any Jerome or Tito or Jesse.

[subterfuge]

And where is "Tamika"? Or Tameeka? I hear that one a lot.

[subterfuge]

And how many spellings of Kate-lynn are there?

[IronJack]

Someday, I hope to find someone named LaTrine (M) or LaTrina (F).

Or Shandaleer. Or Clamidya.

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

When we lived in Baltimore, my wife worked at Johns Hopkins Hospital (downtown) and she treated a young black girl named "Fallopian". The girl's mother heard it at the OB/GYN's office and thought it sounded pretty.

My wife also called for a girl named "Tane" in the waiting room and pronounced it with one syllable and a long "A". She was then cussed out by this girl for "f***ing up my name" and said it was pronounced "TA-ney" and "the "e" was silent". My wife's response was "Whatever..." Tane reported my wife's racist attitude to the HR department and it was quite a stink.

[kittymyrib]

Worst name I ever encountered in my classroom belonged to an illegal alien from Mexico: Elfago.

[bboop]

My mom worked for County Services/ welfare in LA. Had a list of funny names she ran across, including -- you guessed it -- Latrina!! She had one client whose name was (wish I could remember precisely) Michael or something. They had named BOTH their sons the same name -- "It's so easy. When you call, they all come." hahaha.

[Woman on Caroline Street]

Let's not forget Lexus, Mercedes and Porsche (I know, it should be Portia, but I've seen it spelled the former way too many times).

I don't think I need to note which columns those names appear in.

[Woman on Caroline Street]

Don't forget FeMale...

[AppyPappy]

Are you crazy?

:)
