Oh! My daughter went to school with an Indian girl, they were good friends too, her name is Shitel (pronounced just like it's spelled) Patel, I suggested she be called Shi, but she told me that would be disrespectful to her parents! She was a very shy girl, but ended up as Class President her Junior and Senior year. She was also a Valedictorian!!

but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists. - Random musings
There was people that named their kid Asshole and said it was pronounced Ashley

I was DAMNED disappointed to find out I had to pay $20.00 just to get a signature. -TMYS


My maiden name is the same as a Peanuts character's first name so I feel your pain.

No self-respecting redneck would ever name their girl Marijuana. We prefer more traditional names such as “Mary Jane.”
"If you ask me, this country could do with a little less motivation. The people who are causing all the trouble seem highly motivated to me. Serial killers, stock swindlers, drug dealers, Christian Republicans. I'm not sure that motivation is always a good thing. You show me a lazy prick lying in bed all day watching TV, and I'll show you a guy who's not causing any trouble." --George Carlin


Placenta....I knew a girl named Placenta.

I feel roughly the same about these parents as I do, say, deaf parents who purposely try to engineer a deaf child so their kids can be just like them.
A name like these is not much different than purposely handicapping your child.
"Now that ceaseless exposure has calloused us to the lewd and the vulgar, it is instructive to see what still seems wicked to us. What still slaps the clammy flab of our submissive consciousness hard enough to get our attention?"
No joke...my cousin's name is Mary Juana...ridiculous.
And my step-grandfather, if you wanna call him that, was Dick Pealo...Richard obviously but he went by Dick. And when I worked for a credit card company, I called a Richard Licker.
OMG the names!!! There is one couple I saw in the news from Jersy who named their son dolf Hitler Campbell, daughter named Joycelynn Aryain NAtion Campbell and Honslynn Hinler Campbell?? I think the kids were removed from the home at one point. Just WTF are parents thinking????
One thing that makes me crazy is when people give a kid a normal name but the change the spelling. Cheyanne to Sheyanne was one I saw here a while back.. It's not cute or individualized, it's just idiotic.
My foster kids both changed their first names as soon as they started to go to school.
The biounits were pretend Jews and went with the odd and unusual for all the kids but the youngest kid was named Nacum pronounced Nach Kume. Some crazy ass thing they insist against all proof otherwise is "Hebrew". He is in the adoption process and his new parents have adopted three of the kids (there are twelve all together) and thank God changed all their crazy ass names immediatly.
I went to high school with a girl named Flora who's married name is Flora Flowers.
haha. Okay. So I was a sunday school teacher a few years back, and there was a child by the name of tremendous. And god, was she. I think she weighed as much as i did...and she was THREE.
Then there was my friend Asim but he pronounced it "Awesome".
My last name is a way to cook chicken. God that was annoying.
I'm gonna hug you!

My little brother's name is Wulfgar Tanis. I know it is going to give him hell, but I kinda like that my dad was such a Salvatore freak.
It would have been Driz't but my stepmother said it sounded too 'ethnic'. Well, you know what that is PC for. What a bitch.
