Loaded a package for a "Tubby Wubby" today, a joke but it was pretty funny to see. Not a joke was someone with the first name of "Mervi", thought it was some wonky-rear end spelling of Murphy, but it turns out to be a proper girls name in Finland. Considering the town is farm town as stale cow poo poo it probably falls in to picking exotic name territory, surprised it wasn't spelled "Myrvy" really.

I got a spam email today from one Mohinde Cumberbatch. Sadly, I am not the target market for his cut-price Viagra.

I got one recently from a Mrs. Cornelia Maury "I am Mrs.Cornelia Maury; I am a US citizen,52 years Old. I reside in District of Texas". It then went on to urge me to email a lawyer in Benin so I could receive my 'compensation money'

I once met a woman who had given her new son a seemingly normal name until I heard his full name and the story behind it. This happened when I was first driving cab about ten years ago. I pull up to this low income apartment complex to pick up this woman and her infant. I help her with the car seat and head off. Usually when there's a child in the cab I would turn the radio down, or off if the kid was sleeping, this time I forgot. The mother asked if I would mind changing the station to the local rock station. I don't generally do this but she looked like she'd been having a bad day so I change the station. After the commercials finished a Korn song plays. This perks the woman up and she starts singing along softly to her child like this was some kind of bizarre lullaby. This seems weird to me but isn't anywhere near the strangest poo poo I'd seen at that point. The song finishes and I ask her if she's a fan of Korn or just that song. She tells me she is the biggest Korn fan in the world and begins to provide proof. This starts off fairly normal, owns all the albums and such, then quickly escalates to her having the whole band tattooed on her thighs. Then she gets to why this has stuck with me. She asks me to guess her son's name. No hints just guess. I can't remember what I guessed but it wasn't even close. She named her son Jason Johnathan Davis Murphy. She tells me she wanted to name him after all the members of the band but her ex refused to allow that (which is also the reason they broke up, according to her). Then she wanted to use just one member's name but her parents talked her out of that. Apparently her best friend took her to the hospital on the day her son was born and convinced her to use a member's name as her son's middle name so that's what she did. Not the strangest name I've ever come across and not the weirdest thing I ever saw while driving a cab but this has always stuck with me.

Sounds like a perfectly regular 9 year old. Give it a couple more years for her to really be pissed off, especially since people hate ESPN more and more all the time.

Adam Sandler's daughter is named Espn in one of his recent bad movies. So you're not only named after ESPN but now you also have an Adam Sandler movie name.

I feel like if I was this kid I would just pretend my name was Aspen and my parents had a speech impediment. Also a dumb name but... it's a name.

A couple in my area named their daughter Caris Brooke after the local Carisbrook rugby stadium. The stadium has since been demolished and is now an empty lot.

I didn't know this thread existed and I'm so sorry I overlooked it. I knew a kid in high school named Major Bottoms. He was a big fat kid, too. Got a lot of poo poo for that. The worst part, though, was that he was friends with a tiny skinny guy named Yuri Buttes. I wish I was making that up.
