Stupid people give their children stupid names. There is a radio station in Memphis that gives a bad baby name of the day. You should see some of the names.

"Years ago I knew a kid in Chicago whose last name was Queer."
And to yours I'll add my story....
There was a neighborhood kid who's name was Joe Fag. I remember his insistance that it meant "cigarette" after the English slang term.
He once came at me with a hatchet in a fight over a girl. (In the true spirit of discretion over valor, I ran like hell!).
Joe obviously had great issues than a mis-identification with smoking materials.

the old cowboy star Clu Gullagher is a member of our tribe. his name is really Clu-clu, which is redbird in tslagi.
i once heard him say that he was named after the first thing his mother saw after she gave birth.
he said he was really glad that she didn't look out the window & see the outhouse!

There's a tradition in my extended family to name a first-born boy after ggg grandfather Nimrod William Ezekiel Long.
My husband declared, "NO son of mine is going to be named Nimrod!" "Not even as a middle name?" I inquired meekly. Rumblings from the male parental unit . . .
Fortunately our first-born is a girl. But I have FOUR (count 'em, FOUR!) cousins named Nimrod . . .

OMG! That's like calling on somebody in a Sikh neighborhood and asking to speak with Mr. Singh. . . .
Here, by the way, is a pic of the aforesaid Nimrod who started all the trouble . . .
I look a lot like him, but I wear my hair up and have never been seen in a boiled collar.

Just read a story today about a little boy who was lost and, thankfully, was found. His name...
DeNiro Rhumble.
(His father is a big Robert DeNiro fan.)
