KSAT.COM ^ | 03/05/2008

[SeaHawkFan]

Ginger Snapp is a real name.

[Petronski]

What about the story, probably apocryphal, of the mother who named her son Nosmo King?

[dmz]

I met a woman who had named her daughter Chlamydia.
__________

I know her. She’s Russian and her sister’s name is Latrina.

/make it up as I go along

[cripplecreek]

I have a friend named Gaylord.

[kalee]

[Secret Agent Man]

“Named her daughter Chlamidiya ‘cuz she thought it was pretty.”

I’m sure Hepatitis, Jaundice, and Angina were also top contenders too...

[Responsibility2nd]

I know a young couple that just had a baby. They named him Vegas.

_______________________________________

Let me guess. He was conceived in ........ Reno?

Actually, Vegas is kinda a cool name.

[Slapshot68]

“Gotta tell you they aren’t much far off from the weird ones like Shanikwanda, Shoniqua, Tyrondell, etc etc...”

My wife’s a teacher and once, after her first day of school, she came home and spelled out one of the names of her kids...it was jibberish and she asked me how I thought it was pronounced and I responded. She said, “No, it’s Mary.”

lol

Yikes...poor kid is doomed.

[ArrogantBustard]

retirement homes are full of women with names like ‘Bambi’

That one is always good for a chuckle.

"Bambi" is a MALE deer.

[Tax-chick]

Not me. All eight Chickadees have names that would be perfect for a President of the United States. (Except for their Dad’s annoying last name ...)

[Responsibility2nd]

I knew a Candy Machine once.

[cripplecreek]

My great grandmother’s name was Zella. I believe the president of Nigeria is named Festus.

[stainlessbanner]

Obligatory Orangelo, Lemongelo reference

[PfromHoGro]

One of the best ever. My wife and I have yelled “Na-ate, Na-ate,” ever since.

..obviously - no Peter, no Dick, no Rod!

Obviously.

[Larry Lucido]

“I think when you name a baby Jeeves; you’ve pretty much mapped out his future. Not much chance he’s gonna be a hitman. ‘Terribly sorry, sir, but I’m going to have to whack you.’”

[GSWarrior]

My name is Roland. I hated it I was a kid. But now I like it. My parents almost named me Louis.

[angcat]

I named my daughter Giovanna after my dad John.

[Tax-chick]

Everyone knows them, and “Shi’tead,” too. If all the stories were true, there’s be one on every block!

True story - my new nextdoor neighbor’s name is “Alphonso,” and his son, Alphonso Jr., is called “Fonzie”!

[Wallace T.]

Didn’t the Catholic Church (and possibly the Eastern Orthodox churches and many Protestant denominations as well) require that children be baptized with the name of a saint or an Old Testament prophet or king like David or Solomon? If that was not the case, cultural norms certainly dictated the names of children at one time. Unfortunately, those norms are gone.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I wish I could have twins and name them Levitra and Cialis.
