I’m naming my baby “Hurricane.”
I'm torn between June-Bug, Jamal, and Mohammed.
Reminds me of that old Da Niece joke. (Girl named by her uncle).
Chlamydia Champagne....and her sister Etiwanda, of course.
Then they got around to Madison's brother....."Oregon! Oregon!"
I always wanted to name a daughter Cosmoline.
Saw a LATRINA the other day in the arrests and warrants section of the newspaper.
Don’t like it. Sounds too much like latrine.
I keep leaving out the "r" in her last name as I read it.
and then there are the perhaps-even-fiercer more retarded names like Breaker, Ranger, and Wilder.
Strange ... there were not many names containing ‘kk’ or ending in ‘qua’. Whz up wit dat? :)
Bex ping.
I saw a cashier once with a name tag that said Vendetta.
My dad worked at Charity Hospital in New Orleans in the 60s & 70s. There was a woman who gave birth there. She liked the sound of one of the words she heard during her delivery and decided to use it as her daughter’s name. Her daughter was named Placenta.
Think he would ever waste a dad who named him Entropy? I would.
I remember a sergeant in the Air Force many years ago whose last name was King. His first name was Nosmo
My given name and surname are both either first or last names. When a clerk thinks my name is the reverse of what it is he invariably spells both names right. When he gets the order wrong he spells at least one of them wrong and usually both.
Hahah...poor kid with that one!
I was volunteering in a local middle school, and here are some names of a few girls:
Misdermeanor (Yes, that is how it was spelled) I wanted to ask if she had a sister named Felony or Fellonee.
Teaquila (clever spelling/sarc)
Promise Favors (I think the person(s) who named their baby daughter that should be beaten to a pulp—idiots.)
Those were just a few gems that caught my attention. OF course there were numerous Ahmeds and Mohammeds—I even saw one Barack—many Muslim sounding names from both boys and hijab-wearing girls. Surprise, surprise.
4. Modern hero surnames. Satran says Mariah Carey nailed it when she named her daughter Monroe, to honor her heroine, Marilyn Monroe. Other examples of surnames or heros in movies, life and literature used as first names: Landry (as in football coach Tom), Gatsby (as in fictional hero The Great), and Palin (yes, as in her).

Friend of mine had a boy 2 years ago. Named him Ripken. As in Cal.
Goes by Rippy.
(I’ve been nice. I’ve never spoke my mind on THAT.)
