My wife is also a teacher and last year had a girl named Bacardi. The parents openly admit they named her that because they were drunk off Bacardi when they made her.

I have a relative (female) named Dagmar Dague (pronounced Dag). A friend of my dad's asked him, "Who would name their kid that??" My dad's response, "A Dague."

My wife works for a local hospital. She claims that a woman had twins, and named them (pronounced) Oronjelo, and Lemongelo, but actually spelled them Orangejello, and Lemonjello.

Also forgot I have a cousin who named their daughter Eyelid. Its spelled with a 10-12 letter mixture of AILDH but it is pronounced "Eyelid". It's not one of the worst I've seen. But this cousin's husband legally changed his first name to Royal last year at the age of 32 out of the blue so I guess nothing should surprise me.

not to call your wife a liar, but that's an urban legend. That story has been going around for years now.

My wife's cousin is a doctor and has had kids come in with several "good" ones:

- "Abcde" - pronounced ab-sid-ah
- "Ca$hmoney" - yes, with a dollar sign


When my brother-in-law's kid was born, he was told by someone in the delivery room that a woman wanted to name her kid "placenta". After her kid was delivered the doctor made some comment about it coming out next and she thought it was a good name. :eek:

A friend of mine in med school told me about a couple that thought "Meconium" sounded good. :eek:

I've hear the orange/lemon jellow and La-a (Ladasha) ones a lot on the interwebz.

My dad had a classmate named Rusty Wire. The mother's name was Barb.

When I was a kid, we used to prank call a guy named **** Long because it looked funny in the phone book (think last name, first name).

Also, any member of the Jantz or Palin family could make this list.

Son went to college with a kid named Kim Il Jong, same as the North Korean dictator.

Also there are the same names. Maury John's son John John. My brother says Fonda Dicks had a brother **** Dicks.

My son is in first grade and looking at his class list and the spelling of some names I am going to feel really bad for sports announcers when that age group gets to high school and college.

Seven and Soda. But really, I had a buddy I worked with who's girlfriend (later wife) worked as a nurse in a hospital in Peoria. They had a dark complexion woman patient who named her daughter PAJ'-uh-muh, spelled it Pajama. She said she saw it in the Sears catalogue. I went to school and worked with a kid from Muscatine whose name was Tye Tack.

I always thought the musician Pat Smear had an unfortunate name. It sounds too similar to a certain medical procedure involving the lady parts.

How could I forget this one.

One of my best friends from college lived in Michigan until he was 13 and is a huge Michigan fan. So he of course named his son Maize. He got pretty ****** off when one of my other buddies asked him why he didn't go all out and give him the middle name Andblue.
