By Any Other Name: Best Funny Names
New Idea ^ | 02/25/2020 | Rhys McKay

Posted on 12/17/2020 5:42:33 PM PST by simpson96

Parents usually think long and hard for the perfect names or nicknames to give their new baby, but sometimes they make some bizarre choices that leave their poor kids scratching their heads. (snip) Let’s take a look at some of the best funny names from across the world.

Sincerely Yours 98 Pascual (snip)

Marijuana Pepsi Jackson -Sometimes a name comes along that sounds like someone came up with it during a wild party. But despite what you may think, Marijuana Pepsi Jackson is an actual Ph.D holder and educational professional from the U.S.A.

KVIIIlyn - Speaking of numbers in someone’s name, Jessica Mavis from Gold Coast thought it would be clever to replace the ‘ait’ sound in the perfectly regular baby girl name Kaitlyn with the number eight. But a regular old ‘8’ wasn’t unique enough for Jessica, who stuck in the Roman numeral VIII and so little KVIIIlyn was christened!

Tokyo Sexwale (snip)

Batman Bin Suparman (snip)

Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop (snip)Speaking of criminals with funny real names, this next person seems to keep ending up on the wrong side of the law. In 2016, he was arrested for assaulting an officer, despite having been previously shot by a stun gun. He was also arrested in 2012 and 2013 for drug and weapon charges. Mr. Zopittybop-Bop-Bopp has his name legally changed in 2011 from the perfectly normal Jeffrey Wilschke, before embarking on his crime spree. Maybe he should have chosen a less memorable name!

Crystal Metheny (snip)

Edward Cocaine

Unusual names are relatively common in the Michigan prison system, due to the fact that at one time the prison system would pay for the filing of a name change with the courts. Among my favorites were “ Francois Lovegun” and “Lucky Fraker”.

Not crazy, but a little funny:

If my ex and I had had a daughter and named her after our moms, she’s have been “Polly Esther”.

And is this bathroom humor?
My ex had an Aunt WeeWee (Louise).
I had an Aunt DooDoo (LuLu)

I knew a cook in an artillery unit named Major Major, he was an E-5,or buck sergeant.

Always wondered if he stayed in to become Sergeant-Major Major Major.

I used to know a guy named Regis de la Montaigne (I’ll let you translate it into English).

When I was stationed at Anderson AFB on Guam, the manager of the NCO club was named Joe Blow. People would have him paged over the PA system just so the place could crack up laughing.

Don’t forget about Mr. Raymond Luxuary Yacht but it’s pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove.

A man that owns funeral homes in the San Antonio area is named Richard Tips. On his commercial he does say it...I’m Dick Tips. Unbelievable.

Walterine was probably named for her dad.

I figured Walterine’s parents were expecting a boy, planned to name him Walter—but when a girl was born, they named her Walterine. Love the name, it totally cracks me up.

My maternal grandpa’s name was Catarino. His parents thought they were going to have a girl, and they were going to name her Catarina, the Mexican version of Catherine.

There is no masculine meaning for the name “Catarino”, it’s simply the female name Catherine with the ending changed to sound masculine. It’s kind of like a reverse Walterine LOL.

I have often thought about where African American mothers get these unique names for their kids. I figure they’ve given birth, they’re laying in bed, and a truck drives by outside. Looking out the window, she likes what it says on the side of the truck. Or, she just heard a cool name on the hospital room TV’s soap opera. How else do you get names like Quashanda, Quoneisha, Leshanda, Tryvon, Sheyonne, LaTisha, Duronda, etc.?

Friend of the wife of an attorney I worked for was named Ima Raper. She married a man named Butt so her new name was Ima Raper Butt. I never could say her name without giggling.

Yup I’ve seen this name on a Walmart Cashier in Texas with my very own unbelieving eyes. Could not believe that her parents were so ignorant or unloving to do such a thing. Hard to imagine the terrible life she’s had to endure.

Wasn't there a Major Major in the novel Catch-22?

Wasn't there a Texas politician named Hogg who named his daughter Ima?

I used to worked in Vital Records. I have seen some unique names... For example, i saw on fetal death certificates for twins: Spoonbread and Cornbread (I kid you not).
Heavenly Scent
Semaj (James spelled backwards)
Shitass or Shittass.
Trying to remember other names... oh, yes, father and mother gave their son 14 pages of different names! (Unfortunately, the kid died.). But i cannot imagine being stuck with 14 pages of names! I wish I could remember other names but I have retired.
