Regrets? I've always believed that when some parents sobered up; they probably realized Shi 'thead was probably not a good choice.

I knew a black lady who had a set of twins and called them Orangejello and Lemonjello. No lie.

Husband: Uh.. listen.. that’s “Os-wee-pay”.

My middle name is "Hussein", and I don't think its anyone's business but my own. /Obama.

I know a Guy who was named Buck Jr. because his dad was a drunken egomaniac.

Just think how silly it will sound when retirement homes are full of women with names like ‘Bambi’ and ‘Brandi’. Parents really should pick a name that will wear well, not one that sounds cute pinned to a baby or toddler.

I wonder why Hillary is not a popular name for baby girls these days?

I knew one who named hers shi’thead, live that down. Other “etnic” names always sound like floor wax of some sort.

That was my first thought. =)

However, 57 percent of parents said their kids are not named after anyone or anything in particular.

In time, this may be viewed to be the most regrettable element to the story.

I have known many men named Mohammed that are dreadfully ashamed of that name and what is associated with it.

When asked why she picked that name, the mom said it was on the little girl’s wrist bracelet at the hospital.

Not to mention one that sounds like it belongs on a marquee board under LIVE NUDE GIRLS.

The tribe has decided to keep the custom of naming babies after the very first thing the mother sees after giving birth.

*sigh* What is it now, Two Dogs F-ing???

Hey man. We’re talking about you over here.

The unwritten rule in our home is that our children’s names have to look good on a resume’. Their names are Elliott and Olivia. :)

I met a woman who had named her daughter Chlamydia. I am not making this up. She said that she knew what the name meant, but just thought it was such a pretty name.

My son and daughter’s first names are their own...they’re not out of the ordinary, just unique to the family. Their middle names are the names that honor family.

I love that skit.
