Odd names
I meant to mention this in the reply to Cowladys thread but forgot. (age) It has often occured to me that some parents give their kids a rotten start in life by being careless. I can recall dozens of names that should never have been. The most recent was the new quality manager of a well known (worldwide) company. His name is Richard ****. Now were his parents just stupid, or were they taking the p***. A local tv news programme here examined the registry of births, and found that Mr. & Mrs Cart had named their son Orson. There were dozens of similarly thoughtless entries. Who do you know?
Hey Hughie,
I must find something to do if I got time to respond to this one, "A"? I agree, parents should make good decisions when it comes to naming their children.
Hey, at least Mr and Mrs Cart didn't give their son a middle name of Before!. Imagine saying, my name is Orsen Before Cart, well at least that'd be better than Cart Before Orsen, "A"?
I had an associate that had a classmate with the name Richard Head. Now just what the hell were his parents thinkin' or did the delivery nurse right down what the wife was saying to the husband as the baby was coming out and she wrote down the proper form of **** to be Richard! Go Figure! I think I would make a visit to my local family court and have my name changed to Getsome.

Speaking of Richard Head, there was a coach at my junior high that was so named. The only real problem was that he actually went by ****!!
As for the names, I have met some really weird named people. I could go bach through files from the last few years and pull out some good ones!

I thought of another one a little while ago. An old friend of ours uses a Proctologist named DR. BUTTS!!!!
Name choice wasn't too bad, but maybe he should re-think the carrer path!

Years ago, had a store in a shopping center. One of the security guards name was Richard Long, but he insisted on being called ****. Wait, that's not the funny part.
The shopping center celebrated it's anniversary in March and one year, we donated one of the main prizes. The entry blanks were first name last, last name first.
Well... You see it coming, don't ya?
Anyway, the whole thing was being broadcast on the most popular radio station at the time.
Sent one of my employees out to watch the drawing and to see who won our prize. She came back laughing her *** off. She said, tears in her eyes, that the announcer read the name on the entry just the way it was written. "Long, ****," but made it sound more like a surprised question, as in, "Long ****???"
Our poor security guard, now in civilian clothes, had to go up in front of the crowd to get the prize.
That was the last time they allowed anybody associated in anyway with the center to enter any drawing.
I had one employee who made me want to punch out her father. He actually named his daughter SeeSaw.

Good post! I've heard a few that made me stop & say "huh"?
There's an ortho doc here - his name is Dr. Bone - for real! I had to laugh at that one!
Then, a nurse I worked with had a friend who named her daughter Tona. The last name is Wanda. It's funny because we have the Town & City of Tonawanda here as well as North Tonawanda! Poor kid!
I have a cousin who named her daughter Misty Dawn. I siad if I ever had a son I'd name him Foggy Nite!
The ODDEST/WORST was a patient who came in to deliver. She thought the HOSPITAL named her baby! Seems she looked at the name band on the baby's wrist & saw "female" & was pronouncing it "Fee Mallie" I was there - I HEARD her say what a pretty name she got! Just as the nurse was going to explain to het what that meant, the new Mom announced she wanted to name the baby "sphyllis" (yes - like the disease!) because it sounded pretty & feminine! I walked out of recovery at that point - I was afraid I couldnn't hold the laughter in any longer!
We also has a woman who must have had something going with GM - she named her girls Chevelle, Chevette & Nova - NO LIE! Hmm - I would have had to have sons - they'd be Mustang, Montego & Ranchero! LOL!
