"Leave Britney's mom alone!"

BELOIT, Wis. - Police years ago pulled over a young woman who rushed through an amber traffic light. "I'm about to arrest this person right now," the irritated officer radioed to a dispatcher. "She's telling me her name is Marijuana Pepsi Jackson."
It's the truth. Marijuana and Pepsi are her legal first and middle names, and the Beloit woman embraces them as a symbol of her struggle to succeed and to help other children overcome obstacles.
No Mary or Mary Jane or Mary Wanda for her. It's Marijuana, thank you, she's told bosses, co-workers and friends over the years, and even wore it on nametags at work.
This tall, striking, self-assured, motorcycle-riding woman is a schoolteacher with a master's degree in higher education administration. Soon, she'll start work on her doctorate.

The usual cast will be along to tell us their cousin knew someone who named their child
1) Fe’Male
2) Sheet’Head
3) Lemonjello
4) Vagine
Always happens and they always swear to it.
Yeah, but the boy named Sue should have had his middle name legally changed to “Yourassoff”
What a great role model for our nation's youth. If I had a teacher telling my son or daughter that they had to address her as 'Ms. Marijuana', I think I would pulling my kid out of that school.
What’s truly sad is that those names are not so far off from the things we see all the time like the myriad versions of ‘La Shiqua’ and etc. I don’t know why people curse their children with horrific made up names. A friend of mine who was cursed with such a name went to court after she turned 18 and had her first name changed to Audrey from the thing her parents tagged her with. It only cost $310.00 for her to do this and it changed a lot of things for her.
A name means a lot and there really should be laws preventing kids from being abused with these awful names.
In Germany, parents must choose from a legally-approved list. Do you really want that here?

Queen Esther

Milikia (pronounced Ma-LEE-ka, don’t know why the 3rd “i” is there)

Twin girls: Krysten and Kyrsten
Yes, that would not be a bad idea. It would prevent the name ‘Mohammed’ from ever becoming the #1 boys name in America the same way it is now #1 in the UK. It would also resolve the problems of these made up names that are so popular with ignorant people and it would resolve the matter of chronic misspelling of common names by the same ignoaramuses.
Tell ya what MaryJane, the only "symbol" that matters is the string of those letters you're pretending is your name on a job application. I see that and I won't even get to your address before it's in the trash can.
Just thought of more:
T-Yon
Jock
DeAundrea
Teddie
Tre’Cia
Dominit
Selwyn
Nichelle
Also, a student’s middle name is DJ.
"Leave Britney's mom alone!"
I thing the person who wrote the birth certificate heard the information wrong.
The mother thought she was being asked what she wanted so she responded "Mary wanna pepsi, jackson".......and never bothered to look at the completed birth certificate.
Bad baby name ping!
While I don't like the ridiculous names some kids have, I like even less the idea of the government telling me what I can name my children.
Do you think the current administration would allow such names as "Ronald Reagan Smith" or "Robert E. Lee Jones"?
Just like pierced nose, eyebrows or visible tats. “Thank you for your interest, but it is plain you are not right for the position.”
WHAAAAAAAT!?
We ran a ‘Shi’thead’ (female) through the criminal court system a few years back.
Pronounced ‘Sha Theed’ btw.
She should have gone for a more logical followup name, like Marijuana Brownie or Marijuana Doritos.
Best one I ever saw was “La-a” pronounced La Dash a.
I remember an episode of The Ken Hamblin show where Miss Shirley Q. Liquor called in to say that one of her teen girls had “dropped another child” and tat they had to go shopping at the drug and grocery stores to get inspiration to come up with a name.
They arrived at Chlamydia Velveeta.
