Who would name a little baby....

TIMBER ANNE?

I saw a birth announcement today. Poor baby girl. She's in for a life of teasing. God help her if she's tall and of large build. I can just hear it on the playground. "Watch out for Timber Anne!! Don't knock her down! TIIIMMMBERRRR!!!"

What is it with people giving their children these horrific names?

meet my son Vagina and my daughter Penis

what do you mean, psychosexual problems? :D

n/t

who named her daughter Propecia. No lie. She was in my government class and somebody told her what it meant. She was like, "I don't care, it's a pretty name." WTF?!

Is that so wrong?

;)

i can't imagine......

at least it wasn't uranus!!

very well liked and looking to be released or escape sometime soon.

...who had named their newborn daughter "Crystal Shanda".

Idiots.

I mean, if I had a kid, I'd be like, "Hey, Addidas, give my baby a $50,000 college scolarship, and I'll name her "Addidas Spirit (last name)"

Or I'd be like, "Hey Coca Cola, give my baby a $50,000 college scolarship, and I'll have the Coke swirl tattooed on her forehead until she's 18."

Ore, ore accurately, "Hey, Phil Knight, buy me an Aston Martin Vanquish, and I'll name my baby whatever the hell you want me to name her."

I've met a couple of Nikes and I use to work with a woman who named her daughter Sadida (Adidas spelled back wards). My brother insists my first niece or nephew will be named after his favorite line of Adidas x( .

One after Shakespeare, and the other used to be a fairly common girls name (Mercedes Rule, Mercedes McCambridge). Of course the first one spelled it different than the car...

A contestant shared the names of her twin boys. Jonathan and Jo Nathan. It is the same name DUMB ASS!! You gave both boys the same damn name! It reminded me of a birth announcement back home. Some lady named her little girl Nikki Nicole. Again, it is the same name.

Jesuslandites? :P

I just remember those names. I was watching it with my mother and we both, at the same time, yelled "its the same name."

Michael Mike? Think of the humiliation. *shudder*

Though that particular one does lay itself open wide given the story of David and Jonathan...

The daughter of one of my mom's friends committed one of the George Foreman numbers, gave both kids the same first, middle and last name as their father.

I have noticed an inordinate proportion of these odd names come from parents with mullets.

"...like Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel"


Name: Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel
Spouse: Brandine
Children: Tiffany, Heather, Cody, Dylan, Dermott, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumer, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, Max, Hunter, Kendal, Katlin, Noah, Sasha, Morgan, Kira, Ian, Lauren, Q-bert, Phil

:D

You even have all the kids' names - LOL!

Don't forget, he and Brandine have the same parents, too.

His mother gave birth to him in the dressing room of a Monkey Wards.
They gave her everything that you could imagine (and she was in the dressing room planning to shoplift when she went into labor. She locked herself in).

n/t

You know how it goes-every family has to have a little bit of trash in the background.

It's almost a requirment.

:hi:

to name people after fruit. I've lived in Europe and I can honestly say I never knew anyone named after a piece of f***ing fruit

It's weird, but I guess there are worse.

Y'know - something pretty!

mike hunt.

Worked with a friend of mine, as a college recruiter no less.

On eidt: I would like to add that she tood the name "Hunt" through marriage. WTF?

He named all his kids George.

When dinner was announced it had to sound like:

"George, George, George, George, George etc., Dinner is on the table"

Dweezil
Moon Unit
Sky
Tree (went to high school with a girl named Tree, she was pretty cool).

:)

absolutely

(his first name). I always thought that an illiterate mom must have named him.

Magenta and Cyan. Truth.

And then there's that basketball player whose first name is Anferny. Every time I hear it, I imagine that one of his parents was trying to tell the nurse they wanted him named Anthony, but was either drunk or had a speech defect.

Redstone

Or so the story goes - illiterate woman thinks the hospital named her baby for her when she sees the little bracelet that read FEMALE, and ccalls her daughter Femmalee.

A woman gave birth to twins - a boy and a girl. In the county where she lived, it was required that children be named within 24 hours of being born so a birth certificate could be issued. Unfortunately, she had some complications and was unconscious for a day, and her husband was out of the country on business. The only person available to name the new children was her brother.

When she finally woke up, she met her brother and her new children.

"What did you end up naming them?" she asked her brother

"Well, I named the girl Denise."

"Thats a pretty name. What did you name the boy?"



"Denephew."

we call them denise and denephew

my sister went to grade school with a girl named Vagina

a woman I once worked with named her daughter A Lexus

Shanda Lear was the daughter of William Lear, of Lear Jet fame. That is actually a true story too.

Governor Hogg of Texas had two daughters Ima and Ura, this is supposedly true also.


My cousin and his wife named their son Nicolas Cole, half way home from the hospital they decided it really wasn't a good choice, too redundant so they turned around, went back to the hospital and changed his name to Jonathon Cole. I am very glad they did.

I used to work an insurance file for a family with several children, all named for characters in LOTR ...Galadriel, Legolas, Aragorn, etc.

I hate names like Misty Dawn, Amber Dawn, Crystal anything and any and all names derived from soap opera characters even though I have been known to have a soap addiction or two myself. I mean the soap names that are obviously invented for the character..not the more or less normal soap names that are occasionally used.

In our temple bulletin there was a birth announcement for a GIRL named Jordan, but it was spelled GEORDAN. Why would you do that to a kid? For her entire life, people are going to spell everything she gets wrong. The novelty will wear thin very quickly, I imagine.

I used to read the arraignment columns in the the New York Law Journal in the mornings. Some of the names in there are priceless. You can see how they ended up as criminals- they were so angry over being named things like Molesta and Hilarious (No, not Hilario, Hilarious!)

Some of us teachers think they give the mothers a pile of ABC blocks as soon as the babies are born and tell the mom to keep rolling them till they come upon a name that appeals to them.

How else can you explain
Trivonnuntay
Amber Waves
Shithead (pronounced shy theed)

Saw the name on a deed once.

OR Misty Dawn Tweedy or Yrneh *hint* her father's name is Henry.

I think, but I'm not positive, it's a boy. Seems like Banjo and Timber Anne could be a nice couple.

Honest to god.
On his driver's license.
Radio was very popular when he was born, so his folks named him Radio.

Radio..... yeah.

1. Shaquille
2. Odessa Joy (O.J.)
3. Jamie
4. Vanessa
5. Champagne
6. Nevaeh (Yes, that's right. Heaven spelled backwards)

What can you say to that? :shrug:

Auto mechanic's twins: Dexron and Freon

Gas station owner's son: Diesel

Pharmacist's daughter: Clonidin

I saw paperwork for a guy named Undra Ware. I'm not kidding.

A poor girl named after the car she was concieved in and the name of he dad, Floyd.

Oh what a feeling!!!!:bounce:

And went to school with the son, Sody, and daughter, Lollie.

Back went I went to church as a child, there was a family named Cane, complete with two daughters named Sugar and Candy.

Just gotta wonder.
