My ex named the cat after Angus Young. He's the singer and a guitarist for the group. Sabbath? Had to be a yellow tabby ;-D
Guitarist, not the singer.
Nope - I saw the letter.

Sorry I was so judgemental about the Scout and Apple names. My bad, as they say. ;) I guess those names are at least real.
How about the case a few years ago where a couple named Daub wanted to name their child Zip A Dee Doo Daub? I think they had to go to court since local authorities wouldnt put the name on a birth certificate, or something like that. Very odd. It's OK to be lighthearted sometimes but it really seems kind of cruel to make a person go through life with the name Zip A Dee Doo!
I know. In Britain, so is Jocelyn. I had a college professor with that first name, and he was about 65 years old.
Ex-girlfriend of mine said she had a cute little black girl in her 1st grade class (she's a teacher) whose name was Fe'malé (remove accents...).
Just mind boggling.
Similarly, I know a woman who is named January Winter...
Then again, there's the crazy white folk who name their kid Apple.
When Oprah was named as a baby, her family mispelled her name. In the Bible there is the name Orpah and you can find it in Ruth Chapter 1. But, Oprah's family was illiterate, and they made a mistake in spelling.
Interestingly enough, there is another woman named Oprah... somewhere in the US. Oprah Winfrey has met with her. Sharing that unusual name is a novelty.
I was, as well. I know very little about teaching, but to single one person struck me as being in poor taste, if nothing else. The HR person didn't have a whole lot of sense, anyway....actually, none of the management that I worked with did.
Glad I'm not working there anymore.
I'm such an ass not remembering that one! LOL :)
I think I can beat all of you. My sister in-law has a little girl in her special ed class named Unique Beaver.
"OK, then let's ask hospitals to give "name sheets" to new mothers. Hospitals charge thousands of dollars to deliver a baby - they can spring for the cost of one piece of paper..."
Well that's a nice idea, but then we'd have Rev Jackson and Sharpton running around screaming racism.
On second thought, yeah let's go with your idea.
My personal favorite is from the end of Part 4:
My fiance and I named our first born Cam'ron, I thougt at the time it was pretty unique but the name was actually pretty common last May. Just different spellings.Oh dear God, they've discovered random punctuation to go with random lettering. Any minute now, they're going to bust out the umlauts and I've going to go into hiding.
You're doomed, doooomed I tell ya! You can never be on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Whatever will you do? < /sarcasm>
One thousand!
