I need a pin up name!! Help me!

[green 6]

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.

[babygrl1234 6]

My vote is for Ginger VonMinx

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::

:lol:Poor guy, I would definitely pay to have my name changed, lol!

Did you decide on Ginger Butler? I like the fact that you incorporated your love of Gone With The Wind, very personable.

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.

[georgia girl 35]

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

Hahaha!

I knew a Brenda Cooter (not sure how its spelled). She didnt find out the other meaning of that name till she was over thirty. So everyone had been laughing behind her back for her entire life. harsh.

[*susan* 1,709]

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!!!
