An associate brought his spawn into work. He had named her Heaven Lee ....
I almost asked why they gave her a strippers name. Ten years ago I would have.

Dung is clearly an Asian name.
Atom is one of the most common Christian names in Armenia - the award-winning Armenian-Canadian director Atom Egoyan, for example.

Dung (5)?

When my son was in second or third grade he had a girl in his class named "Female". They wanted it pronounced feh-ma-lee.

Birth Certificates Need Spell CheckersI saw a waitress at a restaurant in Thousand Oaks, CA whose mother probably wanted to name her Portia.
According to her nametag, her name was Porsche.

I had a friend in Utah (long famous for crazy names, like Lothal, Gyrene, Romaine, and Rylene) who named her daughter MYSTIE, as in "misty." I can just see it now, some little kid in the future whining and saying, "I wanna go see grandma Mystie!"

I guess having the same name as the least funny of the Marx Brothers isn't so bad. :-)

I went on a ski trip, and I can't believe one of the kids sitting next to me was named "Rental." His parents even put his name on the skis.

I once met a women named Anus, I'll bet she's one of the 5 who named her daughter Dung.
See Dung run. See Pete FOFLHAO.

My mother was a parish visiting nurse in Louisiana. One of her duties was to take the birth certificate to be signed if the birth was at home. Many were, even in the fifties and sixties. Many times she tried to talk the mother or father out of their chosen names.
One of her favorite stories was of one mother who insisted on calling her newborn daughter "Placenta Privia" because she had heard it mentioned by the nurse- midwife during labor and thought it so pretty.

The date for this is April 2, 2002. Not Feb. 4, 2003.

I appreciate all kinds of threads but shouldn't this be in general discussion or something.
