OMGosh!. WTH is wrong with people?

[Darren McCarty]

I hate that commercial.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee we we we weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Click. Click. Boom. Pig roast!

[Red_Devil 232]

Never heard of that!

You got off easy then!

A “John Jones the Third” was invariably called “John Jones the T*rd” in the USAF.

Some others....

Anyone named “Smith” was called “Smitty”.

Anyone named “Gonzales” was called “Gonzo”.

......

I am sure there are a dozen others.....

After the first thing they eat after giving birth: Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter, Apple, and Courteney Cox’s daughter, Coco.

Fortunately, neither of them ate an Egg McMuffin after giving birth.

Comedian on “Queens of Comedy” had this joke....

Some parents are giving their kids names that they will never live up to.

I know a girl named Alexus - she looks like Abuick.

Another friend named Champagne - she looks like a 40.

Saw the ugliest little boy stumbling around, knock kneed, bug eyed, with a big ugly head - his mom says “Get over here Denzel!”.

Jayden and Aiden were nowhere to be found amongst the most popular names in the last 100 years; in 2010 both were in the top 10.

I predict Trayvon makes the top 10 during 2012.

[Oztrich Boy]

What is worse is the co-opting of yet another boy’s name for a girl in an effort to be hip and gender neutral.

Shirley that's not right?

[Oztrich Boy]

Olivia Newton John named her daughter after the perfume she had when attracting her first husband. Chloe.

Fortunate it wasn't Poison.

I knew a Merry Christmas when I was in the military. He was a guy...didn’t use his first name.

How odd that it was a guy. I knew a girl, Merry Christmas, in college and a girl, Crystal Broach, in high school.

What an interesting post! I had forgotten about the medieval practice of men being named after their father so as to indicate the locale of one’s ancestors. Usually, as I recall, they would add the town, resulting in something like “Oliver the Fourth of Gothenberg,” to further identify the person. Last names were rare to almost non-existent, if my recollection is correct.

I can relate to the lawyers’ (usually them) names with an initial letter of the first name, some odd—but pretentious-sounding middle name and then the last name. Whenever I would see one beginning with C. I would bet that it was for “Charlie.”

Or names from where they lived. George Burns’ real name was Nathan Birnbaum. Meaning Nathan who lives near the pear tree.

“So go ahead and feel free to call your precious newborn however you please….just remember to be careful because their name could be the one butchered during roll call, that is, until they legally change it….18 years later.”

Right after he dispatches you with an ax...

[KittenClaws]

The fact that Dad once had a GF named "Kitten" is kind of sweet.

LOL!
