I’ve been working in Paediatrics for the last 3 months, and I’ve come across some names I thought I’d share with you.
Daanyaal Lastname
Hannah Montana Lastnamewhichalsorhymes
Lulabelle Babes Lastname
Ronaldo VeryIrishLastname (after the footballer)
Do join with your own.
Goofus he’ll be the example of how not to act while playing with Gallant.
Leroy Brown he’ll be meaner than a junkyard dog.
A few years ago in a big nearby city there was a baby legally named “Niggah” that local authorities successfully fought to be able to rename. I don’t remember what name they chose, but am sure it was an improvement. Can you imagine being renamed by the State?
I think I’ve mentioned these before. In our local NICU there’s been a King, a Queeny, a Vulva (I think we talked the mom out of that one with a quick explaination) One of my favorites was actually kind of pretty, Myshyanne, named after the mom’s shy aunt Anne.
This made me think of a sketch from SNL:
Hannah will be fine as long as she never reveals her middle name.
Spotted today:
Aaron Barret. The syllables just clash for me.
Names from my daughter’s school I don’t like:
Seton
Carlynne
Rainbow
Italiania
Jewels
Gracynne
A friend of mine used to work in a hospital, where he saw a newborn’s name on her medical record:
Vaginal Love Lastname
I work with a guy named 3ric.
I have an email in my inbox right now from a Lovely-Frances SpanishLastName.
Michael Hunt
EOT
My first thought on reading the OP was “those aren’t so bad”.
Then I remembered where I live. You know Michael Jackson? The weird guy? I live in his home town. We got people here with names as weird and the late Mr. Jackson’s appearance.
This makes my job as census taker … interesting. I’m about at the point I’m going to hand the damn form over to these people so they can write it in themselves. Over the phone interviews… well, between “creative” names and spellings and cellphone static…
Buzzy McBuzzkillington the 3rd
“Through Trial and Tribulation We Reach the Kingdom of Heaven”, but my friends call me “Tribby” for short.
This was a young Puritan lady, according to David Hackett Fisher’s book Albion’s Seed, if I recall correctly. The Puritans were fond of such burdensome names.
First name? Piffl. When your last name is Superman, your only option is politics.
irishgirl, just to be clear, daanyaal is a different take on danielle, correct? How did they even conceive of such a name?
Daniel, not Danielle- I think that makes it worse.
I work at a retail pharmacy in a lower class neighborhood. We get weird names all the time.
Off the top of my head I can think of:
Dystinee
Moninica
Cousins (I think. They’re definitely related somehow.) named Janiyah and Jamiyah
Simian
Lots of “normal” names spelled very badly
I sorta hate to admit it, but I’m perveresly pleased to see that white trash is not an exclusively US phenomenon.
