Recommended Posts

I knew a Kandy Kane as well, (can't remember if it was Kane, Cane or Caine).

One of my roommates during my college years was named Mandolin Robin Hood.

I had a teacher named Barbara LaBarbara

My DH's ex FIL is named Harry Balls. Actually Harry is his middle name, his first name is Francis and he didn't like Francis so he called himself Harry Balls...I think I'd go with Frank or Francis or Frankie...

I'm now in neonatology and my colleagues and I have seen some DOOZIES! Twins named Ameriae and Amerion, Norman and Namron, Beautiful and Brianne (imagine being Brianne?), Neveah and Heaven, Brianne and Brianna. I could go on for hours...

When I was is college I worked doing birth certificates and here's the best one I ever had, I've never had anyone top this:

Picture a middle-teens aged mother who really liked the Disney movie Fantasia. Pretty Hot And Tempting was just making it's mark as a catch-phrase, and as I'm sure you may have noticed many African American moms seem to choose names that are mixtures of other family names or favorite things, or names that end in -eisha, -sheia, -ieka, -eika, -nae, -kia, -tay(tae, taye), etc...

Here's the first and middle name:

Phayntaysheia Shedollolorhonda

Yup, that's supposed to be Fantasia. But she didn't know how to spell it and when I wrote it down for her, she didn't think it was interesting enough... WTF?

I want to create a job at the state or national level where I can sit with a HUGE red rubber stamp and deny stupid ass names and stupid spellings that come across my desk...

People name babies, not adults. They just do not think about what happens when the kid grows up and tries to climb a corporate ladder with a name like Blaise or Shithead or Deiontaye.

Anyhoos, back on topic:

I really like Ginger Butler, or Ginger Greer. I looked up a list of pin-up women from the 1910's through the 1970's and Greer or Grier was listed a few times. It evokes that classy sex-kitten image.

I like this post. There is a very funny website called The Institute for Naming Children Humanely which deals with abominations of this sort. You might enjoy looking it up and having a read......

My sister is a midwife and back when she was an RN in labor & delivery, she told me that this one lady had twins and she named them Lemonjello and Orangejello. They were pronounced Le-MON-gel-lo and O-RON-gel-lo. That cracked me up.

I worked with a guynamed Major Wood. The only reason he was hired was because we wanted to see if that was really his name on his licence.

Sorry to make a downer of that story but, it is actually a joke that became kind of an urban legend (like sewer Crocs). It isnt actually true. More of a tall tale...an at its core racist tall tale. Sorry.

Ive heard that one SO many times.

I am NOT calling anyone here a racist. I just want to clear that up.

Anywhoo!

Im loving this Pinup topic! I love the names Trixie Duvall and Ginger Minx. One Halloween I was Mistress Ivana Spanken but, I was a dominatrix.

You mean there's no sewer crocs, lol? I am a little gullible, but all I can tell you is, that is what she told me. It didn't sound like a joke when she said it, ::shrugs shoulders::

I think there was one recorded sewer croc:tongue:.

I didnt know it was a joke either until 3 unrelated/unassociated people told me that their sister/brother/friend had witnessed/heard 1st person about the woman and the names, so it HAD to be true.

Soon after, I got it in an email full of jokes from yet another source. Then months later I saw a comedian tell the joke.

Hehehehe! I looked it up on the net and found an article that said it was an Urban legend name. But, it also said that the Shithead and Male and Female ones were too! Someone else mentioned that they had students named that, so who knows? Anyway, I thought it was quite comical. Here's the link Pregnancy & Parenting: Name News

Ok, I am curious to see what name she decided on.

My stripper name is stupid, it is candy Heaven-Tush. Right now, my tush is anything but heavenly.

There is an old Nascar racer whose name is Dick Trickle. And, my husband works with a man whose name is Harry Crack. Bad Parents...BAD!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
