I had read that the hospital had refused to put "Dweezil" on the birth certificate ,but Frank being such a non-conformist still gave him a srange long chain of names.Dweezil was eventually legally added to the list,because he [Dweezil] was actually proud it.Like father,like son.
Had a kid get mad at me because I had trouble remembering the WHOLE name. I wanted to tell her that her mother should have thought of that before she gave her that freaky name.
At her senior prom, my sister had a limo driver named Feast.
John Johns, William Williams, Evan Evans (the large bus company in Britain)
and, incidentally, Vivian is a man's name.
I dated a boy named James called Jamie who had a little brother named Jimmy.
I guess the parents had a brain fart.
Didn't Nat King Cole sing a great song about her?
My dad was "Baby Boy Taylor" until he joined the Marines. He had no idea.
I knew his brother Buster.
Those are surnames over which one does not have control. "Quieshianiquita" is given name. That child's mother chose to use that name without a moment's thought about what the consequences might be. No matter how talented she may be, there will never be a Quieshianiquita sitting on the board of a Fortune 500 company.
"Stoke me a glipper...."
Gawd I love Rimmer.
I taught them. Or else there's another family somewhere in this world that did the same thing...Actually I think Jimmy was the eldest in the family I taught.
They all seem to start OUT as men's names.
Francis
Beverly
Vivian
We could be cousins. ;o)
Chant'asia checked out my groceries tonight and my daughter used to go to school with k'Rawn but he dropped out.
If your ancestors lived in Utah, I guarantee you, we are!
I've got thousands, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of relatives scattered throughout the West.
What ever happened to Ruby Begonia? Sammy Davis Jr. used to have a lot of fun with that one.
Sea Stories are always true. Ask any Marine!
We had a cat named Angus. Named him after the singer from AC/DC ;-D
Good post!
I know I always immediately throw away a resume with a misspelling on it - - swoosh! - - right into the trash can. I can't imagine many employers ever make it past a name like "Shaquandiniquah" before they ball up a resume and toss it. I know I wouldn't.
Care to wager on that? I'll offer you a bet, but the bet must be enlarged to include any a "black" name, not just Quishianiquita. I'll bet there are many on boards of Fortune 500 companies right now. BTW, I own a company, and I've never, never based a hiring or promotion decision upon name or race.
