If I was that little girl, I'd change my name to something excessively normal the instant I was old enough, like "Jane" or "Ann".

I googled that kid's name and found a celebration page for babies being born. Her sister's name is actually worse than that.

quote:

A brother is Casey Jr., 19, and a sister is Khayleigh-Huntyr Madisyn, 9.
What is it with these parents loving up the spelling of normal names? Won't that just make everyone end up misspelling their kid's name.

I'm surprised Casey didn't end up as Khayseigh or something equally retarded.

But yet if she tries to change her name to Carrie MacMyParentsareMoronShitheels, she gets called the bad guy. No justice.

e: But "Stephen King's Kharryingtyn" makes more sense to me now.

I look at her name and my eyes glaze over and just replace every word with "Kyrgyzstan"

Anyone else reading the Kh as a Hebrew ch-sound? It gives it a nice rhythm.

This is pretty tame compared to the other stuff posted here and apparently it's a normal name but today I found out that one of my sister's acquaintances has the surname of Gaylord.

In the Navy, I knew an Assman and Goo that were best friends! Haha. I never heard of another Assman. I also knew a corpsman with the last name Butt. At least he was Hospitalman Butt and not Seaman Butt, I suppose.

You'd think that someone who was going to name their child Something Hyphen Verb would first learn the purpose of goddamn hyphens. A Khayleigh-Huntyr (or rather Khayleigh-Hunter) is someone who hunts Khayleighs.

They're really into self-fulfilling prophecy and are doing their best to teach their little girl to be an undetectable serial murderer.

Probably Native American. A lot of Native American names got translated into English and some of them ended up more traditionally English than others (like the Cherokee leader John Ridge was originally called "Ca-nung-da-cla-geh" which is something like a man who has vision because he sees the world from a mountain ridge) but then you get things like Afraidofbear or Mankiller or Flock of Birds or Everybody Talks About, which are pretty awesome.

UK TV actor, who we've watched grow up on a pretty funny show over the years, only for him to turn 18 and do a "documentary" about porn where we discover his dad is famous pono-gonzo Ben Dover. The gently caress?

But did of Tyger's parents' films contain anything as painfully earnest as "I'm starting to realise how porn has informed my own sex life. I lost my virginity at 13, and I've certainly cummed on girls' faces."

I hope to God young Karen wasn't watching.

The best worst-name story I have comes from my friend who competes with her fellow teacher friends. To win, a student in her class must have the worst name of all other students from her teacher-friend's classes. The year she won, this was her student's name:

La-a. It's pronounced LA-DASH-UH.

Coon cheese is named after the founder of the company (an American), so there's nothing to be done about that. Golden Gaytime (and its accompanying slogan), however, are widely accepted by the population at large to be a joke. (Also, that poo poo tastes like loving Ambrosia, so whatever !)
