I read a piece for an audition about a girl who ended up having a kid with her cousin and named her Ennui because she thought it sounded pretty. It was fictional, as far as I'm aware, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if someone named their kid that.

Oh, another I remembered. There was a Precious on my floor my freshman year of college, although she was QUITE the opposite. She had her cousin, cousin's baby, and cousin's baby-daddy living with her in her tiny-rear end dorm room. The baby had a name, but we only knew it as Pootie. My dad had open heart surgery when I was 14 (he's fine) and he had a very short but very rotund nurse named Aquanet. You know, as in the hairspray. She had a high pitched voice that fit well with her name. Since he was pretty drugged up, he asked if he read her name right, or if it was Antoinette or something along those lines. She said that no, he hadn't read it wrong, that THAT is what her momma named her. Yes, I was there for it.

bringmyfishback posted:The site Utah Baby Names explores the horrors of Mormon babynamery. The names and article are great but holy crap stay outta the comments. They start out great, with more names and the like, but there's a huge derail between a few members and it's a trainwreck.

bringmyfishback posted:I knew she was loving with me, hence the "awfully inconvenient" comment. Maybe she was just tired of explaining her name all the time. I don't blame her, frankly. My friend's name is very Polish, Grazyna, which just means Grace, but I remember being a kid and someone asking how to spell her name, yet again. She started out with "Graz" and just started naming off other letters til they figured out it was gibberish.

My friend just had a baby boy and named him Malahkai Quynn. Yes, said as "Quinn". I'm under the impression the special snowflake spelling is from the mother and was a compromise for something far more biblical which is weird because neither of them are even slightly religious.

bringmyfishback posted:That's rather Roman of her. Also, the newest dumb kid name in the store: Craven!. I don't know if it's related, but the mother kept pronouncing leggings as "leggins." Apparently that was the pronunciation of choice when it cames to wearing them back in the 90s, because my mom is still stuck on calling them "leggins".

My great grandma, who was apparently pretty loving awesome, was named Iona and married a man with the last name Cox. It's a little off, but still Iona Cox. fake edit: Cox is a very common last name, thank you.

Not really all that terrible to me, but one of my mom's doctors is Dr. Lady Di. She's too old to be named after the actual Lady Diana but I giggle a little every time I go with her.

I work at a women's clinic and we see all sorts of unusual names, but the one that has given me the most rage is "Tephany". I mean really. Come on now. Tephany? As if we don't have enough Tiffany/Tiffani's as there is already. She was in her early 20s, too. Please someone tell me it's a real name.

Just pulled a state insurance for a girl named A Dream. Her name was "Avream" in the schedule which I just assumed was something ethnic but no. A Dream.

Lawfirms, man. Most people have normal names, then you get the hoity toity ones likes "Chauncey," but at one of the firms i take, there was a VIP with the last name of Doodlesack. Another firm has a Kristle with a note underneath of "same as crystal". It made me chuckle because all I could think about was gristle.

Imperialist Dog posted:Not sure if the spelling has to be exact but Dudelsack is the German word for bagpipe. That... Doesn't make it less funny I think. I didn't personally get a call from her so I don't know spelling, but my super was disappointed that she wasn't with the firm anymore.

Got a partner at one of the firms I take named Brackett. Probably a family name or something, but his name fits his horrible personality.

I know Sharon is a normal name, but I talked to a Sheron yesterday (IT for lawfirms) and she made me want to blow my goddamn brains out with her lack of common sense. She was probably in her 50s or 60s.

OH so I know the given usernames/email addresses aren't names but they can make for some good ones, such as "S Hartman" (shartman) and a lady with the initials of FAG that we giggle about every time she calls.

Overheard a coworker telling another co-worker a story about someone she knew with the last name of Orel, who then married someone with the last name of Annel. I'm having a hard time believing it's actually true, a la oranjelo/lemonjelo nonsense. I was glad she couldn't see me rolling my eyes so hard i went blind for a minute.

Just added a user with the last name of Limongello. For real. Not quite the typical stdh.txt of the brothers with the first names but I still giggled to myself.

TLC has yet another show about a family who just had a bunch of babies. The sextuplets are: Blu Layke Rawlings Rayne Tag Rivers. No, I don't know which are the boys and which are the girls. Even better (or worse?), the three older brothers are Bridge, Sailor, and Wells.
