Vanity: Worst Baby Names
11/26/01

Posted on 11/26/2001 9:13:15 AM PST by Phantom Lord

Alright, this is a total vanity. I didn't post it under "Breaking News" so relax.

My mother and aunts have been pestering my wife and I about when we are going to have children. Lately, we have taken to coming up with the worst possible names for babies and telling them we are considering names first. Well, they get real upset with some of them and even get angry with us for even considering them.

My mother in law is coming down for Christmas and it is inevitable that when she, my mother, and my aunts get together they will gang up on us about having kids. So, what I need from my fellow FReepers is a good list of really bad baby names to suggest to them as names we are considering. You help and creativity is greatly appreciated.

Oh, the last name is Terwilliger if that helps at all.

Our surname is quite British, but I still love the sound of "Chloe ______".

Yes, I have been told that the name Chloe is in the Bible, but where is it exactly?

Being Sabres fans, I have suggested Miroslav, and Hasek. Though the idiots traded him. May they burn in hell for it too.

Believe it or not, you were the first to suggest the Indian prime minister names and Pakistani general. Megawati! Great!

Wow! That's quite a name on your daughter, I like it!

If we have a son next, he will be Jackson Reay ________.
I know some don't like surnames used as first names, but those people can name their kids whatever they like.

"Jackson" is for Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson.
"Reay" is my late mother-in-law's maiden name.

FRegards,
CD

PS - There is a picture of Chloe on my profile page.

My wifes name is Alison, I have suggested naming a girl Alison Terwilliger Jr. Nobody seems to find it funny or acceptable.

500+ positive replies and your loan negative reply would seem to say otherwise. Maybe your just upset that your real name has been mentioned several times as one of the "Worst Names Ever."

I went to school with a Tequila.
In the area where I live there are a lot of people with the last name of "Pye" pronounced "pie" - I knew Sugar Pye, Candy Pye, and, of course Punkin Pye.
But the worst name I've ever heard is "Vaseline Wineglass" and she really existed and was in my 9th grade Home Ec class.

I thought of that too, but didn't suggest it for that reason.

I'm really not fond of the whole "Jr." thing anyway.

Oh yes, another name that has to me mentioned in the hall of shame:

Retchell Crudup.

Found in the military news section of my hometown paper some years back.

Okay, you win. But I hope it is a comfort to you to know that generations of Texans will be visiting graveyards and saying, "Momma, look what that name was!". LOL, in a world now of Heathers and Ambers it is good to remember.

It is 1 Corinthians 1:11 - "For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them that are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you."

However there is little known about her and only this one mention of the name in the Bible.

If the fact that this thread has over 500 replies doesn't prove that FreeRepublic has become a church ladies' gossip board, then nothing will. Sal, Boyd, TridentDelta, where are you?

Thanks!

I will pass it along to my wife; she has also been wondering.
