Horrible names

Unique Too'Fine

No, not kidding. Little Unique was born at the hospital where I work and we saw her picture on our website in the 'nursery' section where parents can post their baby's first picture. Back then there was a way for visitors to that webpage to leave comments for the new parents. You know, "Oh she's so beautiful...Congratulations Bill and Sue!", or something along those lines. Well, poor Unique Too'Fine....some pranksters found her webpage and left the nastiest comments on there. We had to call the IT dept. and have them pull the comments from the web. It was awful. But probably very prophetic about what that poor baby has ahead of her.

I work with a girl named Prayer Faith. Which she gets a lot of comments on. I also have a cousin that named her son Seven.

I think I've mentioned my neices on here before. They are 6 years apart, oldest to youngest, and currently all in high school except the oldest is now a freshman in college....

Autumn Faith
Summer Hope
Winter Love
Spring Grace

To further confuse people, their names don't correspond with the season they were born in, but the season they were conceived in....

Now this is a long time ago ... grade school ...

April Showers

Then there was high school ...

Crystal Clear

There's my 2 cents worth.

My sister did name her children normal names but we had to talk her out of few bad ones. Ricochet Smooth if she would have been a girl and Chartrice Kenya June for a girl. She ended up Alexis. That was the best we could do. Chartrice I understood but thought it was a bad idea. She was naming her after a friend but even the friend said it was horrible. I never did understand naming her after an African country none of us have ever been to. I don't think she even knew it was a country when she was considering.

Other odd names..I graduated with Casper and Free Star. Free's sister was Aqua Marine. Free and Aqua's parents are lawyers with normal names so I never got that. I would have expected hippies.

I went to school with a guy named Rhett..I think his mom had a Gone With the Wind obsession or something. He didn't look anything like a Rhett, either. He looked more like the spokesperson for Mad Magazine:

Oh, and I remember long ago from a place I used to work there was a client with the name Suk Ing Yang. Granted, in her home country it was probably pronounced Sook, but you get the picture.

I worked with someone (male) whose name was Hung Ta (his first name was pronounced Hoong, but you know that's not how everyone pronounced it.

 

[Handbag Lady]

I know someone named Beautiful.


See next post for her middle name and the name she goes by.

 

[Handbag Lady]

A Queen





Yes, please don't put them together in case my friend Googles the name together and sees me laughing. And yes, the child goes by a queen.

The poor kid.

I think the names that when combined make a joke are kind of cruel. However, I like some of the examples (Cascade in the article is pretty, I think). Maybe it's my hippie Eugene Oregon background. My ex and I argued a bit over DD's name. She ended up with a traditional name, but I wanted to name her Avalon Jorel. It would have flown just fine here, but maybe not in Peoria.

My cousin named her child Usnavy(pronounced oos-nahv-hey), as in US Navy, because her husband is in the Navy.....

DS had a girl in his school last year named Treasure Eiland.

Worked with a girl who named her daughters Isis Amber Moon and Autumn Dayspring (not horrible names, just super-hippie )

My DD was winter camp counselor at our local park district this past Christmas and she had a girl in her group named Fetus.

I had identical twin students, Antony and Antonio. I also knew identical twins, Shanique and Shaniqua.

Although the name Unique is not very unique. When I was teaching, I had about 4 students named Unique, and one Uniqua.

I went to elementary school with a boy named Frosty Snow. Even at age 6 I wondered if his parents hated him...

At the hospital we have had some fun names including Dr. Rape (who is actually the nicest guy in the world).

Then there were two co-workers. Martin Martin and Fernandez Fernandez. We use to joke that their parents liked the names so much they named then twice.

 

[OK!]

OMG, I need to get the "What the-F-?!" look off my face or it's gonna freeze this way! Seriously, what the hell can people possibly be thinking when they choose these names for their poor children?! Do they not recall their own childhoods and how absolutely EVIL kids can be? Good LORD.

Almost everybody with whom I went to school had normal names. There was one boy in my class named Armstrong and one named Orion; the latter had super hardcore hippie parents, so it was understandable.

Oh, and when I was at a fraternity party in college, I met a guy named Cash Register. The FOURTH. Apparently, it was some sort of sick joke....er, I mean, tradition in his family. I totally thought he was putting me on when he told me that that was his name, but he pulled out his driver's license and...sure enough.

I don't suppose I have a ton of room to talk, though...my dad's side of the family has a slew of weird names which, when combined with our very unusual last name (unusual because it was created by ancestors who didn't speak English and thus didn't realize to what they were subjecting their future offspring), must have caused some giggles back in the day. I had great-great-great (give or take a "great") uncles named Quadik and Zadok, for example. Poor guys.

In my hometown there is a family with the last name Pop who have children named Soda and Lolly.

A family I used to tutor for had two boys a year apart named Rafa and Rafaat.

My cousin married a man with the last name Pitts and all the men in the family wanted her to name her first son Harold Armstrong Pitts. Thank God she put her foot down and named the kid Zachary.

If we had a boy, DH wanted to name him James Kirk. Not too bad considering the previous posts. And we had a friend that kept wanting us to name our boy Powers. (our last name is Austin.) Fortunately, we had girls

When I lived in Florida, there used to be an OB/GYN in the Tampa area named Harold B****. (as in a small brown swimming animal that builds dams.) I swear this is true. Please don't point me!! I will remove if anyone is offended. Only he didn't go by the former Harold. He went by a shorter version of Harold. (I can't say anymore. I know I'm going to get in trouble for this.)

My mom worked with man named Clip Clop. At another job, she worked with a woman whose 3 daughters were Stormy, Windy, and Rainee.

When my friend's daughter was in preschool, she had a playmate named Lynken (pronounced Lincoln). The last name was Parke. She also had another classmate called Easton. Last name was West.

My mother said she used to go to an OB/GYN clinic where the three doctors' names were: Slaughter, Triplett, and Youngblood.
