“7 Things Your Kid Will Spend Their Life Doing If You Give Them a Weird Name”
8. Time (as in Prison)
I have to admit I do have a hard time with all these names at work, in that they are all slightly similar:
Shaiqua
LaShashana
shaniqua
Lafonda
Laniqua
Shashana
and I can’t think of them now, but there are more variations.
when I was in the loan biz, did a loan for a guy named Tye Clip.
I’ve read that guys with the name “Gomer” often end up in mental institutions...
When I was a Social Worker in Boston I had a client name her children after car dealerships, honest!
Not guilty!
I knew two men named Spurgeon. Both from W. Va. Name goes way back in both their families.
I think there’s a point in everyone’s life when they’re unhappy with their name. Mostly because kids are cruel, so no matter what growing up your name will be a source of ridicule. In adulthood it’s going to be either too common or too odd. Eventually you just settle in.
I’m talking about the other Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
My HVAC guy’s name is Joe Blow. I also went to school with Billy Club and April May. I work with Kristal Glass and my dad knew Mary Christmas. All true.
The worst in my opinion is parents that spell the names wrong, and the kid is stuck with it. Working at a community college I see common names spelled wrong all the time (ie. Stefany).
Talk about getting a pre-judgement “They couldn’t even get their name right on the resume- circular bin time”.
I’ve never met any. But all the female lit nerds I know own Anais Nin books and I wouldn’t be surprised if any of them did name their kid after her. Though so far none have.
I'm talking about the lawyer and federal judge who became the first Commissioner of Baseball.
Are you telling me there was another one?
Given the kind of stuff she wrote I could base an entire comedy routine on that tidbit. Admittedly very few people would get it, but it would be really funny for the handful of people in the world that did.
If you go way back, is there really more than one family in W. Va. < ducking>
You win the internet this week!!
er, um, errr , well
If you go back far enough, we’re ALL related ...
You could be the girl named Chlamydia, not sure how mom spelled it but that is how it was pronounced.
We figured mom heard the word at the doctor’s office and thought it sounded pretty.
Did William Leer really name his daughter Crystal Shanda?
Oh ...
THAT one ...
Fergot all about him.
