My company has a very large India division. Searching the global database I see an Indian with the last name Shit, but no one with the name Shithead. I do see a couple with the first name Shital and a Shitta.
Sheetal is a given name I’m familiar with. I can see it being spelled as “Shital.”
The family name “Dikshit” (also spelled “Dixit” or “Dikkhit”) is also one I’m familiar with.
I don’t doubt that. The reason I doubt the ‘shithead’ one is because, like la-sha, it is a known urban legend.
For the record, I believe the poster who said they know a “Latrina”. I dont know one, but I totally buy that. Rings true and fits the criteria of a lot of ghetto names I know.
Nuh-uhYeah, I know it’s a fake.
I’m cracking up. I can’t believe people take the time to do that.

Are not persons from Eastern Europe white? Russians, Poles, Czechs – they’re not white?
I’m not being flippant. I’m black, and frankly the distinctions white folks make among themselves sometimes puzzle me.
The Snopes article that several people have said to check on a few of these names lists it as ‘Undetermined’, not ‘False’.
Just pointing that out.
I actually have a friend who has legally changed his name to a ‘l33t’ version of his nickname- there are definitely bizzare names out there.
He’s actually a really nice guy, just has a truly weird sense of humour.
Because you can never put ‘false’ for a topic like this. Someone can literally name their kid La-sha today. There is no such thing as being 100 percent certain that no human will ever name their kid La-sha ever.
The fact that the La-sha has obviously made the rounds as an obvious urban legend is enough evidence for me to dismiss it.
I just wish to go on record that I can officially verify via court records any name I put forth here (except for Eunuch. I had him as a patient myself, but can no longer access official records on him. I can verify his mom Philistine, but not him.)
I won’t link to them here, but if anyone just must see official verification, they can PM me.
That includes Bakari and Shontrevious, two of my latest.
Near as I can tell, that poster was basically saying, “They weren’t from 'round here.”
OK, so to try and head off any fireworks, I looked this up. I didn’t find any L-a, but I did find La-a listed int he baby name rankings for 2010 and 2009.
Scroll down to see:
Don’t be heading off fireworks. I like fireworks.
[rewriting]“They didn’t look like foreigners, but I have somehow got it into my head that they were immigrants, possibly from eastern Europe.” [/rewriting]
I spoke with a woman once named Tijuana Hooker.
I did not discern her occupation.
If it makes any of y’all feel better, I have changed my ex’s name to Shithead. Pronounced “Shit-Head.”
I just want to say that many years ago, I went to school with a guy named Flavio LaMorticella. It was a melifluous and beautiful and weird name, and if he’s on this board (highly unlikely) he can verify it.
And the tuba player in our band was named Peter Harder.
So she’d probably be a grandmother by now, right?
Old enough for it, she wasn’t married when she was our sergeant.
