His parents defined him as a criminal at birth.

My little brother's first girlfriend was named Candy Bush.
I swear I am not making that up.
I honest to God once knew a guy named Bob D. Bob
....And her brother Dwiezel........
I once heard of Lance Boyles.
Was the sister Mayonaisa?
(snerk)
"This guy is named Josephine, which is a problematic name for a man. "
My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."
Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!"
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!
"There are plenty of pretentious Euro-ized white names, too."
Went to school with a kid named "Banister Earl . . "
That is a very good question. When at one time in this country the Indians were referred to as the red man or red skins, that has now been labeled as a raciest name. So why is it not raciest to call whites white and blacks black?
Just so y'all know, I have two aliases.
One is Roberta Griswold.
The other is Muffy Lopez.
Ping - can't wait to read all the comments on this one!
If somebody already posted this web site I missed it. It's hysterical. Called Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing.

Thanks. I needed a new "porno" name.
Can't speak to these two names. But my sister-in-law was a social worker in a child's nursing center. The Fe-ma-le name has been used several times.
While I think the article is generally true, this paragraph struck me as BS. In the corporate world, a "Laquisha" indicates you can check off at least two affirmative action boxes.
But no one wants to do that with a forever employee who would be a problem from the get-go.
Lol! Very true!

From now on, you will all refer to me as Shebelle
This is not too bad, really, it's better than Shebangs!!
On another note, my sister works in an H.R. department and will not hire anyone who from their application she can't tell whether said applicant is male or female or can't decipher their name unless the person has got some exceptional talent no other applican has.
