I had a high school classmate with an uncle of the name Richard Head. The classmate's father liked to call him by the name "Dick."

May I add if I hear one more little girl named MADISON, I am going to go and slap her parents.

Really, Tyler, Madison... get real, dad's and mom's!

If you want presidents names for a little girl, Buchanan, Filmore, Arthur, Polk and OF COURSE, Bush would be so much sweeter and lovlier.

In Vietnamese there is really no sex differentiation in names. Thuy can be a man or a woman, as can Phuong or most other names. Thuy is more likely to be female and Hoang is more likely to be male but there is no surprise in seeing it the other way.

Do people in trailer parks really have names like 'Wylita'?

[mollynme]

A close relative and his girlfriend named their daughter "Chasity". Not only did they not know what it meant, they didn't know how to spell it either!

You want them to name a little girl BUSH??? Georgie maybe but BUSH???

Ho Phat is getting into another culture and language and is not a good example of odd names. Many Vietnamese names are awful in English, especially stripped of their tones. Around here there are enough of them that there is no longer any joking and a couple of the names have been latched on to by local round-eyes. As the sounds that go with the letters are different for Tieng Viet some of the names just look bad like the fairly common name Dung (pronounced yoong) and spellings are being changed to conform to American usage. At least one Nguyen family has become Wynn and their boy's name is spelled Young. An American saying Young Wynn comes as close as an Anglo American can possibly come to pronouncing Dung Nguyen correctly.

What a bunch of rank ametures

At least we can spell amateurs.

Well, when parents are pretentious, expect them to give their offspring pretentious names like, Madison, Taylor, Tyler, Preston, Skyler etc.. You get the idea... .

[arthurus]

Shneqqia, Taiwana, Trashica, TyLenol, Valgena, Yawna, and Yelling.

As I mentioned on the last one of these name threads, the verybest name I know is one my wife had a couple years ago in her Spec Ed class -Nyquil Neosynepherin. This year she has a little boy named Tyvek- like on the insulation you see on a house under construction.

About 15 years ago, I lived in Towson, Maryland, near Baltimore. One Saturday morning as I packed for a move to Ft. Worth, I was listening to a TV show featuring local "talent". One kid came on screen and said he was going to lip sync a rap song. The emcee asked what the kid's name was and he replied, "I be Devoid". The emcee asked, "Devoid what"? Devoid said, "I be Devoid B. Williams". I almost fell out of my shoes.

Next, Devoid said his girlfriend would assist him in this "talent". When the emcee asked the girl's name, she said (as God is my witness), "Chlamydia".

I had a stroke.

"Female names I really dislike include Madison, Brianna, Brochi, and just about any pretentious name I can think of."

Couldn't agree more. I saw this AFTER I posted about pretentious parents. These names are nauseating - just like the parent(s).

Another popular name in some communities is Hesus. Not sure of the spelling but it means Jesus. Honestly, how can one disgrace Jesus like that? No mere mortal is worthy of His name, yet it's quite common in some ethnic groups. Or how'd you like the name STONE as in STONE Phillips? I have little doubt his parents got stoned now and then.

How about Bug Girl?

I know a very smart pretty little 5 year old named Shy Ann. Her mother who is not so smart is "Bereezi."

[bug girl]

hubby "tomkat" named me i work for a pest control company!!

[nmh]

We named our daughter, Sarah Elizabeth. She knows that Sarah means "princess" and knows her name sake. Now that's a woman I wouldn't mind her living up to. As for Elizabeth that is the mother of John the Baptist and a cousin to Jesus. I'd have liked to call her Elizbeth but people love to mutilate names and gave her Sarah as her first name. She just loves inmagining she is a "princess". I prefer the more traditional names. Pretentious names leave me cold.

...i work for a pest control company!!

I suggest work on the left side of the US Senate chamber.

I'm quite familiar with the downsides of having a common name

People who try so hard to give their children names such that they will not share a classroom with 4 more usually wind up all choosing the same unusual names and when the kids get into school there are 4 more in the classroom with the same name. The best way to give your child a rare name is to choose a name from a non European non Arabic language. There are pitfalls there, too, however: see the Vietnamese Dung and Phuoc, or Hoai Mi.
