I just got a friend request on facebook from someone called Lou Pit. (For Americans, a loo is a toilet.)

Beethor was due in clinic today. Turned out to not be some Norse god of stinging thunder, but instead some smiley middle aged lady, what a let down.

Watching a show on the Oprah network and there is a woman named La'Kila pronounced La-kill-a. She had 4 kids that didn't go to school because she was "home schooling" them and she lived with all four of her kids at her aunt and uncles' s house. All I could think is thats what happens when you give your kid a name that sounds like "the killer"

I've known a couple of Augies in my time; all short for either August or Augustus. There's also the novel The Adventures of Augie March, which was pretty great.

All my coworkers have been sharing our middle names, since a bunch of us have our middle initials on the schedules for some arbitrary reason. Most of 'em are fairly standard, but one guy's middle name is Renwick (REN-ick). I thought it was cool. Also, one of my buddies from high school recently had a baby boy. I went to his Facebook page to congratulate him, and found out that he had named his son Raistlin Tiberius. Just... drat. Not as bad as the Sephiroths I'm sure are running around, but drat.

Excedrine White, because he gave his mom a headache while she was pregnant. I worked at the welfare board as a clerk and this one one of the names that stood out that I had to ask about.

A local grocery store posted the winners of a children's coloring contest: Caedon, Sophie, and Meskerem. I understand that Caedon is just a misspelled Caden/Kaden, but where do they get Meskerem?

This was cute until I saw the spellings. Now I'm mad. And here are some names i got from a list when I googled "weirdest baby names." (Actually, I accidentally wrote "werdest." Don't know if that affected the results...) Blip Feline Kiwi Ajax (Most people are going to think of the cleanser, face it.) Cub Danish Legend Leviathan "Leviathan Sephiroth Johnson! You take your sister's hamster out of the microwave RIGHT NOW!" From here: http://www.babycenter.com/0_unusual-baby-names-of-2013_10388919.bc

 It's fun to go the Family Search website and type in any word as a first name, ask for an exact spelling and see how ridiculous you can get. For example, I just typed in Victrola. There were/are a handful of people named Victrola. Lucifer? Several of them, with an interesting example of a Louisiana family with sons named Lucifer and Heafen which I bet is a bastardized spelling of Heaven.

I know someone who's having a baby soon and plans to name her Jenasis. Not sure if that's terrible or just confusing.

bringmyfishback posted:Blip I fully support a parent's right to name his or her child Feline, or Blip, or Thud, or whatever. I think the concept of telling people what they can and cannot name their children is asinine. On an unrelated note, I also support forced sterilization and confinement to work camps for people who name their child Feline, or Diezel, or any random noun from a language that is not their native tongue, or any random noun from a language that is their native tongue, and for anyone who has seventeen children with the same name, such as "George." Edit: ^^ The parents of "Jenasis" go directly to the gas chamber under my plan.
