Names
 
Over the years, I've seen some interesting names ( coworkers, friends, etc.) I'm not starting this thread to make fun of anybody, I just think some names are very unique, for better or worse. Here goes:

First name Yu, last name Ho.

I was reading the obits last week (I don't know why I do this) and a woman was survived by several kids including her son Nimrod. :shocked:

First names Nugget, Jafrica, Precious, Charm.

Last names Kuntz, Phuc, Gay (my cousin)

I knew a family in high school who named all their daughters Mary with different middle names (Mary Kate, Mary Ann, Mary Beth, Mary Carol, etc.) There were 7 or 8 of them.

We recently had someone come into the office. Their first name is: .

No lie; try filing that one.


Really original names that I think are beautiful:
Lux (really)
Devin
Aubrey (my Goddaughter)
Lindon

Anyone else heard any unique names that you loved or gave you a chuckle? :shrug:

My father has an uncle or second uncle (I've never met him) named Thomas Thomas. And I always get a kick out of the name of one of the news stations weather reporters : Amy Freeze. My extended family all lives in Ohio, included a cousin, named Trenton. My immediate family and I live throughout NJ, so my grandfather in OH jokes by called Trenton , "N. J."

I have an uncle Clovis....I haven't met anyone else with that name.

I knew a Dick Head. :eek:....went to high school with his son.

In college, I met a girl named Reaganomic. :shocked: She went by Reagan, though.

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, I once knew someone named Sandy Beech. In high school, my health/gym teacher's name was Mrs. Clapp. I felt so bad for her because everyone called her The Clap. :laugh:

:lol:

I can't even begin to imagine my reaction if someone introduced themselves as Reaganomic.

I "know" sisters named Delicious and Precious...the kicker is their last name is Bush. Both are constantly in trouble with the law...I guess I would be too.

I worked with a girl a few summers ago whose name is Unique.

The funny thing was that we had a temp working with us who forgot her name, and came up to me to ask what it was:

Temp: "I'm so embarrassed, what was her name again? I remember it was a really unique name..."

Me: " (Laugh) Yeah - it actually *is* Unique."

Temp: " (A little pissed) Ha-ha - don't bust my balls - what's her name?"

It was a total unintentional Who's On First moment...

Hey guys, meet my friend Delicious Bush!

Good. Lord. :shocked:

A few teenage moms I used to work with had close calls naming their kids. More than one almost named theirs Chlamydia & Placenta. We urged them not to, of course.

I also had a friend in college who's middle name was Marijuana, but she pronounced it Maryguana. Then I met a guy at work who's name was Janerick, prounounced like generic.

You've got to be all kinds of f*cked up to want to name your kid one of those names.
