How about Madycin? It's pronounced "Madison," but for the love of God, why spell it like that?

This guy is named Josephine, which is a problematic name for a man.
I've said for a long time that this type of naming makes it EASY for employers who want to discriminate, to do so. "Josephine Hammond" is race-neutral. "ShaNeNe Janiquah" is obviously of a certain race. They'll never have her in for an interview, then will be able to say they had no minority applicants to interview.

I had a student named Latrina. I am not kidding.

My all-time favorite is a girl I once met named Lasanya.
And no, she didn't have a sister named Ravioli. I asked.

People living the Fancy Belt have had unusual names for years. Mencken's books on American English describe this.

There was a young lady working in the shopping center who was tagged with "Latrina" Obviously neither of her parents had been in the military or even the scouts.

Her last year teaching, my mother collected the weird names. She had a Nien (pronounced "nine"), a Lashonda, and a Mushwanda (pronounced "Mashonda").
She also had a Lucille who was tough enough in sixth grade to beat up the girls' PE coach.

I'm waiting for the brand name drugs to be used.
Livitra, Viagra, Lipitor, etc.

My favorite, there was a U. of Oklahoma back named Rotney. Yep.
Course, whites don't get off the hook, either. The commander of the Pearl Harbor fleet on Dec. 7 was named "Husband."
Can you imagine that poor wife at dinner parties? "I'd like to introduce my husband, Husband." "Glad to meet you, meet you."
And, no joke, I went to HS with a retarded girl named Pigg. Her idiot parents named her . . . Ima. I kid you not.

I've heard Female, pronounced "Fe-mah-lay", and Gina, short for a female body part. The poor mother had no idea what it meant--just saw it on a hospital chart, and thought it sounded pretty.

Excellent question. Poor little Madycin....doomed for her entire life to have her name misspelled by all and sundry, and doomed, too, to have to spell her name every time she introduces herself.
On the other hand, with 20 other Madisons in her middle school class, I suppose it makes her stand out, eh?

I made a vow to the moon and stars that I'd search the honky tonks and bars and kill the man that gave me that awful name.

Worry not, FRiends. The way things are going at our borders we'll soon be naming all our children Jesus, second name Abdul.
