Baby names-another odd name list

[BCV513]

When I was in the hospital last month, my nurse was named Lady. I wanted to ask her where the Tramp was.

Well.....You would THINK someone would be too "stupid" to name their kid Washateria, but I saw the name tag myself. I've been a teacher and as a teacher and friend of other teachers, let me tell you we have come across some stunners. Sometimes I think the mothers must still be under the influence of painkillers when they name the poor children. But I've heard, "I liked the way it SOUNDED" often enough to realize that some people don't give a rat's hiney what a word MEANS, provided they like the way it flows off the tongue. Are there some exaggerations? Sure. But sadly, some of the horrible names you hear that crack you up are from people who are telling the gospel truth.

I have been a teacher since 1991. I've heard many crazy ones too. I didn't doubt what anyone posted. I just thought it was an interestring link. I once had a child named something like Michael Mike or Matthew Matt (changed the name for privacy reasons). I thought that was odd. We called the little guy something like "Mikey Mikey Mikey".

I watched Wednesday and Teal...cute girls.

Our Varsity HS football team has an awesome young man named Mister...I suspect in 4 or 5 years you all will know Mister Jones. He's been a starter since a freshman and has committed to an awesome football school already. He explained that his grandma snuck in and added the Mister to his birth certificate and he knows he has to live up to his name.

A few weeks ago I was interviewed by a Season.

I have been told that Cassidy is a strange nameEven stranger when added to her middle name Cheyenne

My cousin's baby's name is Hannah Suzanne. Not terrible but tempting to say "Hannah Susannah" like Roseanna Danna Danna.

My brother chose the name of his first daughter - Amanda. He left my sister-in-law choose the second and she chose Miranda. Not sure what she was thinking but most of us call them by the wrong name on a regular basis!

I called DD3 "Greenlee" from the time I found out I was pregnant. This bothered everyone in my family. She was nameless for 2 days (all of her stuff says Baby Girl). I was at the hospital alone and I briefly considered putting that on the birth certificate - who was going to stop me??

In the end, I settled on Kendall after putting 3 names into a hat and letting my oldest pick when she came to visit.

My friend always wanted to name her daughter Taylor. Ever since high school, she's had this name picked out for her future daughter.

Then, she got married....to a guy whose last name is Taylor.

My niece's name is Baylor- a little differnet not bad just different- had a kid I taught whose name was Strat Speedy- no joke!

 

[TinkandAriel]

I went to school with a kid named Zero.
We have two Neveah's and one NeveahLee in our office (dr's).
I know of a Bambi, a Buffy and a Love.

 

[PaddingtonBear]

I work with a Queen Esther and have a neice named Liberty Belle

I saw a little girl today named Vanessica.

I guess they couldn't decide?

 

[CharityLynn]

My name is Charity (Not too out there) we named our daughter Rayne (Rain) Renee

A firend of my husband's name is Peaches and she named her son Chayne (Shane?) then there is a set of twins Blayze and Stone.

A friend of mine named her daugher Taejanae.

I work with Aneisha and went to school with Keirsha.

That's all I can come up with right now...

My cousin's name is Cassidy and I named her. I thought it went well with her Irish last name. I don't think it's that weird. Yes, I do often think of David Cassidy, but... well, that's okay.

 

[MerissaAndMomLoveDis]

I am embarrassed to tell this one almost, but while in college I worked at an office on campus and we kept up with the unusual names we came across, and the winner by far was.....Fonda Dix.

 

[vampirechick]

Apparently my cousin's name Jai (pronounced with a long i) is not all that weird. My son's name is Joby, not that strange but I don't hear very often.

My daughter went to school with a little girl named Texana, like the lake. I thought it was kind of cute.

A boy in my 6th grade class was named Thunder and he had an older brother named Storm. Their last name was just plain, like Johnson or something.

It's an organised event (usually in a field or car park) where people sell things out of the boot (or trunk) of their car - generally old unwanted household items (we were selling old books, CDs/DVDs, electrical equipment etc) but some people are 'professional' sellers i.e. sell things from house clearances etc.

We do have something similar to that, but you would NOT want to buy something sold out of the trunk of a car or the back of a van as it's probably sold "in the hood" or a dangerous part of town, and the items were probably stolen.

At my kids' school there are brothers named Thunder and Lightning.
