Zotwoz posted:As with Lemonjello and Orangejello, there is no such person with that name. It's poo poo that never happened One of the links posted earlier included the information that there's about 4 people in the nation named Lemonjello according to People Search.  It's still poo poo that never happened because how the hell would 4 lemonjellos meet so many people across the nation, though.quote:My sister came across an unfortunate soul named Easter Areola at her old staffing agency job. My mom worked with someone named Harold Areola. She apparently offended him by laughing when she found out why he doesn't go by 'Harry'.

A Moose posted:Pretty sure Theron is an actual name people sometimes have. But holy crap Nazim. Best name on that list. He is almost certainly named after someone's D&D character or something. Nazim is a perfectly normal Arabic name. White people can be Muslim, too. So can Arabs, for that matter.

I went to high school with a kid named Ben Dover. He would sign up for stuff, but would get removed because they though it was a fake name. A girl i used to work with her parents almost named her Pheonix. Her last name. Wright. Yes, she almost was Phoenix Wright. She would have had to of gone into law rather than archeology. There was a girl, we named Sleepfucker because, well, she tried to sleep gently caress this guy who was passed out a party. Nicknames don't count, but she did eventually get pregnant and she named her kid Ariel, as in the Little Mermaid. Not really a terrible name, a little on the ethereal side, but the big problem its a boy. Ariel Belle Sleepfucker. Yep, that kid is going to have issues, probably his mother being a crazy goth woman who dresses him in Victorian baby clothes that are meant for girls has serial killer in that poor guys future. Before the internet, if you wanted attention you had to go out and do something crazy. This guy we all knew, but didn't like very much decided to get attenion he'd pie 90s Prime Minister of Canada Jean Chretien on a visit to Halifax. That wasn't enough, because other people did it too, so he felt his regular name was too prosaic and for years talked about renaming himself to Grace Junkie. From what I can tell from facebook, he did do it eventually. When friends of mine started living together, their neighbors could often be heard yelling at their kids, who were named Marshall and Mathers. My sister works in public housing and she recently helped a lady get a place and her teenage sons are named Shaquil and O'niell. No I did not spell those wrong, that's how they were written in the application. Where I used to live, anytime i'd be out at the mall, or wal-mart or any place were there are tons of people, i'd always hear a little girl being addressed as Bella. I got sad when I eventually looked it up and found Bella, Jacob and Edward were now among the most popular baby names.

Oh, and I don't know if this is actually a Shithead/Lemonjello/La-A/Abcde thing, but my cousin told me once about a show she'd seen about people with weird names, and apparently they introduced two brothers named Winner and Loser. Loser goes by "Lou", founded a successful business selling office supplies or something like that, and generally lives a good life. Winner is currently in prison for sticking up a gas station.

Well, my father runs apartment complexes, and he claims to have had a tenant who named her two children Orangejello and Lemonjello. He said that her reasoning was because when she was pregnant with the first one, she craved orange jello, and lemon jello when she was with the second. He's not the stuffthatdidnthappen.txt type, but who knows. One thing I know for sure though, was my mother went to school with a kid named Dusty Rhodes. No one believed it apparently, and in high school he actually brought his birth certificate with him to prove that was his name.

My best friend in grade school was named Yi Ya Yoo (phonetic). He went by Yuri in North America, which his parents thought was a "white" name, but of course Yuri Gagarin was a famous Soviet cosmonaut so no one named their kid that in the 1980s.

I went to an international boarding school, so there were the usual foreign names that never really raised any eyebrows. One tiny, soft-spoken Chinese girl unfortunately chose the English name of Venus, which she could barely pronounce when she first arrived. She got teased a bit when she introduced herself as "Wee-nus". She was really sweet.  Then there was a huge family of preacher's kids who enrolled in the school. Their names were Truth, Trust, Faith, and Rejoice. With the last name of Opera. I was friends with Faith and Rejoice and damned if they weren't the nicest, most caring people in the world. They were originally from Kenya and they were always smiling and looking for ways to cheer you up if you were down. No-one ever had a bad thing to say about the Opera kids.

Worst I have is Story Smiley. We were both volunteers at the animal shelter in my hometown. She was very sweet. Her dad would come in and embarrass the hell out of with stories of how she punched him in the balls at age three, pooped in the kitchen sink at age eight, and another one I can't remember.

I've met some really interesting names where I worked. One of our on site technicians was called Richard Richard. We called him Dick Squared, he was a really nice guy. Another on site tech was called Rose LaRose. Edit: Also one of my old coworkers before I switched team was called Phuc Long. He decided to change it to Peter Long. Not sure that helps when your name appears as "Long, Peter", buddy. Lysdexique has a new favorite as of 19:33 on Sep 14, 2012 |
