I should have known it was you that posted. I started laughing and could barely see the screen, and looked down and saw your name. Of course. heehee haw haw

[Secret Agent Man]

Okay she’d be called ‘pooper’. Kids are just so sweet.

[TruthConquers]

I agree, she may have wanted to help, but I have never heard of “Regret” as a last name. It was very cruel.

We named one son “IV” and darn it he is set on naming his son “V” Give me a break!

I shall appeal to my future dil.

My mother taught twins named Vicious and LaVicious (they lived up to their names).

[DeLaine]

My son Jeff wanted to name a girl “Seven” or “Pasco”

Obama’s mom was named “Stanley” because his Grandpa Stanley Dunham wanted a boy to name after himself, and merely named his daughter with a boy’s name. So his daugter’s name was Stanley Ann!

[DeLaine]

oooh, you’re meannnnn! LOL

[EternalVigilance]

I have a couple of forebears named “Little Page,” one of whom served throughout the Revolutionary War. Wish I knew what that was all about...

In one of the census records he was listed as “Little P. Proctor.”

I used to know two village idiots from Round Lake, Il named Pluto Plotz and Dudley Fuddpucker. I am not making this up!

Our genealogy shows names staying fairly consistent in the 1800s until about 1900 when fanciful names were more in vogue (Lucy, Ruby, Opel, Rose, etc.). It’s interesting! I have a Mary Stanley Parmelee and a Ruth Williams Colman in my ancestry.

Rolland was my dad’s name. It makes information about him easy to find, especially with the odd spelling. All his life, he went by “Bud” because his dad was Rolland, too.

When in college at the University of Akron during my undergrad days, I had a classmate in my communications class who had the unfortunate name of Va-hee-na. (spelled like the female anatomy) The professor calling roll-call on the first day did a double take on the name and the girl (knowing where we were in the alphabet) saved the prof from having to pronounce it wrong in front of the whole class. Nice enough girl, but none of us ever got up the nerve to ask the origin of her name. My wife’s cousin and her husband had twins a year back and their names are Baylor and Milo. We were sitting around drinking during the 4th of July and we got on the topic of picking baby names. It was then when we were informed of the origin of the twins’ names. The cousin and her husband were driving out to western Kansas to pick up a BAILER when they started to feel a bit frisky. So they pulled over in a MILO field to umm, stretch their legs. Nine months later, the twins were born.

See post 114!

My uncle’s name was GW. No name attached to the initials. He made up his own name as George William. We call him Dub or George.

There’s a lady I work with whose name is C hill, so her email is chill@___.com

My cousin is named Frederick. I heard the name all my life so I guess it sounds normal to me. I always liked it.

I suspect Fonzie gets some laughs at the local high school, although it’s possible the current teens never saw “Happy Days.” My kids didn’t recognize the name.

[null and void]

I think I’d avoid Dr. Paine.

Obstetrician in town.. First name Hyman.

Nicknamed 'Buster'?

[Tax-chick]

Shagofa???

They celebrated Baby's arrival by getting a shag carpet and a new sofa ... voila!

As women will do, my wife had a pile of baby name books.

My friend and I were home alone drinking one night and he started leafing through one. It was one of those that have the name, and then give its "meaning" and information about the name.

My friends name is Bruce.

After his name in the baby book it said, "May be gay"

I thought he was lying when he told me. Then I looked.

Sure enough. Bruce - May be gay

It's much better than naming the kid Bruthie
