I used to have a list of great customer names, but it was on paper and I can't find it. A few that come to mind are Scarlett Cox, Giza Bustahnutt, Bootsie McCracken, and Inta Funk (who was actually a 50ish white woman with a trust fund). My mother was a NICU nurse and came across a number of good names: "Ma'am, before you leave the hospital, we need a name to put on the birth certificate." "Oh, but I did name her" "Um, it just says 'female' Lastname here, ma'am." "No, that's my baby's name" "Female?" "No, Female (fuh-mall-ee)" .......................... "Ma'am, are you sure you want to name your baby that? It's going to be really rough on her, and other children are probably going to tease her about it." "But Diarrhea is such a pretty word!" My dad was the counselor in a public-housing project elementary school and also encountered hundreds of interesting names. Of course I've forgotten most of them, but I do remember Qalvin (Calvin), multiple variations of Shitawnya, and, at one time, seven girls named Unique, although one was spelled differently: Quniqua. Yeah, you could say that was pronounced... uniquely

Breetai posted:And at the end of the baby's arm.... WAS A HOOK! To be honest, I never realized that those were both common urban legends- I only looked them up after seeing your comment. My mom wasn't really a joke person, and she definitely talked about a number of sad/awful names she encountered, but I might be remembering some childhood dinner conversation incorrectly and she was recounting another nurse's story or something. Growing up where I did, though, those names didn't unlikely at all. I promise that the other stuff is 100% accurate.

ibntumart posted:OP, can you add a rule against racist bullshit naming stories in your post? At least for the more obvious idiocy like the entries below, most of which are so common as to have their own Snopes entries: Notice that I made a follow-up comment both admitting that I likely misremembered a joke overheard when I was like eight years old and that I was unaware of it being a "thing." I'd certainly show my mom those links if she wasn't dead. Sorry. Chaitai posted:I also used to sell cars for a living, and I sold a car to a guy named Z. No last name, no other letters, just Z. That's what was on all of his official documentation too. Was this around Macon? I've done a notary for a dude named Z with a Georgia driver's license.
