Some Parents Regret Names Of Kids

KSAT.COM ^ | 03/05/2008

[TheMom]

Nope. Don’t think either parent has been out of Houston.

The name is OK, but with a last name of Price the kid will get some teasing.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Yes, I have heard these names. Pronounced Or-an-gel-o and La-mon-gel-o. There was a black woman in Monroe, La. that named her kids Taurus (boy) and Chevelle (girl). Where they were conceived, perhaps?

[a real Sheila]

Funny names of folks I’ve known or met-

Precious
Wonderful
Chevelle and Chevette (sisters)
Happy and Jolly (sisters)

Woody Butts
Sipp Coffee

“..obviously - no Peter, no Dick, no Rod!”

They finally settled on “Shaft”. He’s a bad mo-....

I had a girlfriend named Johnene. Her dad’s name was John as were her two brothers but one brother went by his middle name. It was a real treat around there considering that my name is also John.

I also had a girlfriend who’s father was named Tandy.

[Larry Lucido]

“Angina”

What? Name a kid after a female body part??

[Gabz]

Mom Ping.............

My mother may never have regretted what she named me, but I sure did for many years.........

[cripplecreek]

I used to work with Richard (don’t call me Dick) burns.

[Fundamentally Fair]

“Os-wee-pay”.

That's the first thing I thought of....

[null and void]

YMMV

It’s a sore subject with me.

[Secret Agent Man]

Those are middle names, not first names. Middle names (one or two) were used for the saint’s name if the church you belonged to had a rule or tradition like that.

[Larry Lucido]

I’m going with “Seven”!!!

Better than "Mickey"! :-)

[uglybiker]

Growing up, I knew three 'Bubba's and one 'Junior'.

The names fit.

[cripplecreek]

I know two brothers and a sister from Ponepe (micronesia I think) They’re named Einstein, Smiley, and Lefty.

[Secret Agent Man]

Cute. I didn’t see a /sarc tag, I am assuming you know what it is. :)

[Gabz]

If “Sarah” is the most popular girl’s name, it may have something to do with my 5 granddaughters all named “Sarah”

I went to grade school with kids from a family that named all the girls Sara, but each one had a different middle name and were always called "Sara-middlename"

[wideawake]

Their names are Elliott and Olivia

Watch a lot of Law And Order: SVU do we?

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah, I also had a friend who went to school with a Richard Hertz. You figure it out.

[MrB]

ah, ya beat me to it -

one of the most memorable skits on SNL.

“Congratulations, 4$$Wipe”
