I can see how it came across.

But the main point is true: Teighlor spelled like that is no more than vanity and selfishness of the parents. Some of the names we've seen here border on child abuse!

It occurs to me that your daughter might actually be able to use her proper spelling to education people. When they ask about the spelling, she will have an interesting historical story to tell.

Know a guy named Lester. He goes by Les Klass.

>>How do you get "Dick" out of Richard? <<

To begin with, tell Bruce to put his pants on.

Richard? Richard Head? Is that you?

Placenta is almost common these last 30 years or so, though I have neve met an adult Placenta. Do none of them survive childhood?

[freedumb2003]

Is that anything like the guy who named his brother's kids "denise" and "denephew?"

Tristan Malcolm Fraser Blaylock

You need to reverse the order of hefirst two names.

It worked out for Eamon DeVelera

that's DeValera and there are actually a number of good Irish names that seem to be Spanish. There was this huge Spanish fleet that was destroyed in a storm in 1588 and many Spanish seamen washed up on the Irish coast whence, at least some of the "black Irish" and the Spanish names.

Hospital named her Feh-MAH-lay

Another not quite uncommon name in North Florida and South Georgia.

What did Frank Zappa name his kid?..Dweezel?

Dweezil is the boy. Moon Unit is the girl.

I went to college with a girl named Merry Christmas

In the local little theater group there is a Merry Christmas.

Sixty-plus years ago, my grandmother selected the name of a French nurse in a WWII flick as my mother's name. It's a pretty name, but no one can spell it or pronounce it correctly. At one time, the name on her birth certificate and driver's license were spelled incorrectly. Finally, she decided to simply go by her initials.

Having young children, I know a lot of people who name their kids things like Trinity, Storm, Peyton or Juleesa. I use it as an informal IQ test: name your kids something stupid and you must be, too.

Naming kids is hard. You just never know the results

I named my second daughter Dharma. In 1972 there were no others. Now there are scads of them. A couple of years ago she was introduced to someone on the Dharma and Greg TV show who was mystified how she had that name before the show went on.

[arthurus]

One of the names was pronounced "SHA-THEED" but spelled, according to the magazine, "SHITHEAD"

again, there are a few of these around. My wife had one in her class (she teaches elem.) and there was another in the school at the same time.

That's nothing... Miss America last year's name was "Misty Dawn Clymer

How, in this day and age, can a parent allow his kid to have a name like "Clyner?"
