Gal who worked for me was going to have a baby, and asked my opinion as to whether "Laqueefa" or "Aboobika" was better. I sprained my lips trying to prevent a 360-degree smile from splitting my head in half.

I would not have hesitated. I'd go with Laqueefa.
To: RedQuill
I voted for Aboobika of course.

You didn't look at her ask; "Why, are Mary, Jane, and Sally taken?"

Considering the definitions of the second syllables of both names you might have just called Family Services instead and told them to get ready...

" "Trashanda" I question the fitness of any parent, who would saddle their child with a name beginning with "trash." You just know where that's headed in middle school."To make this worse, Trashanda is her middle name.
Her first name is "White"!
Nah...I'm just kidding.

But is it good news? We don't know, really. Maybe the mother felt she was protecting the girl. Courts can be idiots sometimes -- not everyone who has custody really should have custody. We don't know the true backstory.

How about Jermisha and Jerkisha? Two pretty good basketball-playing twins from around here who won full-ride scholarships. And I have run across some Asian boys named Sue. The best was an Asian boy named My Ho. He had a sense of humor about it.

Was she 9 before or after she vanished? Just curious if anyone knew.

I went to high school with a girl whose parents wanted to look euro, so they named their daughter Yvonne. They gave the game away, though, by pronouncing it Wye-vonne.

Everyone is missing the most significant fact in the article.
...judge awarded her father custody of the child!!!!!
This should have been the headline.
I'd like to know how this guy managed to get the court on his side. Men rarely get custody.
To: gcruse
a girl whose parents wanted to look euroThere does seem to be a certain allure to the French sounding names. Lots of Le and La and ette and elle that sometimes begin in sh and ch. Then there are the ita, que, and qua names. Huge number of permutations. I am sure someone has written a program to design such names.
LaChanelle, Shenette, LeCharles, LaShaqua, etc.
I knew a guy worked in a maternity ward who claimed that people had named their kids "Nosmoking" (nozz-moe-king), "Pajamas" (Padge-uh-muss), and "Urethra". Then there's the ever popular "Shithead" (shuh-theed).
He's probably right.

Ron Waytes isn't even the biological father. But he is the best parent the child has.
Father hopes to find missing daughter
"Trashanda was 3 months old when her mother told Waytes he was the father. He wasn't sure he believed the mother, but he still fell in love with the baby. Waytes was devastated when he learned from a DNA test that someone else was Trashanda's biological father.
But the courts still ruled that Waytes was an "excellent" father, caring for the girl 90 percent of the time while Trashanda's mother missed 16 every-other-weekend visits in the span of 12 months. The judge awarded Waytes custody, saying the years of reading books to Trashanda and taking her to the park proved he was more fit as a parent."
