In the case of Brittany, I believe that is how it is spelt in Galic... Dayvod is Welsh... not sure about the others but they too might just be the 'non-english-ised' versions of names.

The newest "strange" name around here ODESSA TX is Nevaeh, Heaven backwards. I worked with a Sweetie Lovejoy, truth. We also had a mother that had twin and they were Joe Albert and Joe Alfred, then 2 years later a Joe Anthony, and the father was not Joe!

Then there are all the interesting ways to spell Cheyenne, Dakota, Tilly, Millie, and of course Cat. Pets named, "Sweetums", "Baby", "Sweetie", or "Sugar" usually require a muzzle because they have a tendency to bite. Meanwhile those that are named "Killer", "Macho", "Harley", or "Meanie" are great to work with. We don't see any "Fido"s but we see quite a few "Pheido"s. I wonder about pet owners sometimes. Is it "Lassie" or "Lassy"?

I love these...... One BIT advantage: Never have to think which one you're calling.....just yell, JOE!"

I had a patient once whose name was "Hair Lloyd".....he said his mother couldn't spell and evidently neither could the mid-wife that delivered him. His name was suppose to be "Harold".....hehehehehe

the 16 year old girl, totally unprepared, and not concerned with the responsibilities of motherhood, who didn't have a name for her baby girl, who while watching TV in her room, decided on "fabreze" during a commercial. I heard baby "fabreze" doesn't live with her natural mommie anymore. LOL

This is probably another one of those "urban legend."

One mother, dazed after delivering her child, heard a beautiful sounding word and wanted to name her baby .... Vagina.

The nurse talked her into naming her baby Ragina.

Went to school with Dusty Rhodes and Kandy Cane.

Have a nephew named Desi Linus - older brother (4 yo) was allowed to pick out the name.

Inadvertantly did it to my own daughter in some fashion. We had agreed on using our middle names as the baby's middle, depending on the sex. When she was born, none of the first names we were considering suited her. She just wasn't an Ariel or Brianna. As it got nearer to the time for discharge, the nurses were pressuring me for a name for the birth certificate. I remembered the name of one of the women in my prenatal class was Haley. When I looked it up it meant full of vitality and was perfect. Merrily we signed all the paperwork and it wasn't until days later that I realized what I had done. You see my middle name is Raine, making her Haley Raine. I guess it's better than Sleety Snow.

The worst has to be the poor kid in high school whose name was Terry Dick. First day of freshman English a new graduate teacher read off the role and called him Harry. The teacher probably wished the floor would open up and swallow him whole. The following week, the kid had legally adopted his mother's maiden name. Talk about your high school nightmares!
