Sweet! My sister taught a kid named Diamante. Dad didn't even know how to spell his name.

I had an uncle named Vivian.
Remember that quarterback for the Falcons several years ago...? "June Jones"

Many years ago I knew a set of triplets named Sandy, Shelly and Rocky Beach. But that's nothing compared to the wacky names now.Uh, was their daddy's name Sonny?

Good luck on having your baby quickly! I have a son named Thomas Jackson ("Tom"). It's a good name. I'm not a fan of using last names as first names, though.

A friend of mine calls himself Hamma instead of Mohhammed.
I suppose "Ham" wouldn't work.

Urban and internet legends have to start somewhere. I suspect we would find quite a few of them are true if we could trace them all back to their beginnings.

Can you imagine naming your baby this?

Great site! I showed it to my daughter to show her how bad people will laugh at some of her creative attempts. They chose Jenna : )

I've always had a mental picture of Bruce as the San Quentin lifer who rapes his cellmate. With apologies to all Bruce's on this board.The worst name I can think of is Bwuthie...

OMG! Your Mom put an EXTRA "n" in your name?
You're doomed, Sistah. Dooooomed! Doomed to a life of unemployment and shattered dreams and probably drug dealing, LOL! :)
Dad wanted to name me "Rose" and my sister "Magnolia." Our Maiden Name was "Bush." (No relation.) Luckily mom came out of her birthing stupor long enough to stop him. Proving you can be a boring, middle-class white guy and still want to give your kids stupid names. ;)

I believe I first saw the name at snopes. It has to rank as one of the worst!
To: PittsburghAfterDark
Funniest name I have ever seen on a resume that crossed my desk. E'merg'ancy Ro'om. No, I couldn't make it up if I tried. OMG. Just when I thought I'd heard them all.

Don't forget Helaman, another of my uncles names.

I'm guessing the mom who didn't really know how to spell all that well had to spell the name phonetically. My guess is that's happening a lot now. 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...

My other little brother has the middle name Grayson. I find it distinguished and classy.

Another one I hate is Chance. I've been seeing a lot of that the past few years.
And if your child is a Something Something the Third, do NOT call him Trey. Utterly stupid.

My next-door neighbor, a Palestinian from Jerusalem, calls himself "Mark" instead of "Mouammar."
