Someone should make a baby name site that tells you the origin and meaning of names as well as how much the child will be teased if you give them that name.

Note that in QED’s link there’s a link for “Drawbacks”. That particular issue is addressed.

If the name is common where you live, the child is much less likely to be teased, don’t you think?
LaTrina is very common here. I doubt that people are thinking of latrine when they encounter it. Ya never know, it might have been her grandmother’s name.
You think that’s bad, wait till you hear what they called little Oranjello’s sister…

*Making a mental note to never name my future son (should I have one) "Richard."It would be playground beating time when the kids made the connection between the diminutive “Dick” in conjuction with my last name.

Dick Mu? 
Nancy Dick, former lieutenant governor of Colorado, named her son Timber. Note the sad irony of his death.

That’s hot.
Don’t forget Dick Butkus.
(Isn’t there also a sports announcer named something like Dick Shaft?)
I think you mean Dick Schaap. But Dick Shaft is funnier.

There was a waitress at a local IHOP that we all knew as Leather Heather. But that was more wishful thinking than anything else.
We’ve got three Latrinas in this company, placing in the “uncommon, but not rare” category.

That’s the one. It still probably got him called Dick Shaft in grade school, though.
Q.E.D., isn’t “Richard Head” the name of Butthead’s stepfather?
Wasn’t there a football player named Fair Hooker?
“You changed your name…to Latrine?”
“Yeah. Used to be Shithouse!”
“…Good change. That’s a good change.”

Possibly. I’m not a fan.

There was a girl on my floor freshman year in college named Candy Hooker.
Let us not forget Rudi Pecker, who was so successful that Misys gave him a head job in Asia.

The parents probably just didn’t know what the word meant and thought Latrina sounded like Laetitia, or something.

“Lay-a-titty-a”? That’s any better?
I know an Analy. Her family is not originally from the US. It is pronounced as if it were AnnaLee.
