Obvious
Emergency
Thankston
Champ
Matron
Progress
Mars
Ethelbert
Basin
Flex
Stew
Organ
Wand
Chunks
twins: Steve and Stevious
and a baby I delivered whose mother named her Marble
I kinda like "Thankston" and "Stevious". I wouldn't name my kid that but I think they're kind of cool.

My wife is a teacher and she is working on her Master's right now. She just finished a class on classroom managment and the guy who wrote the text book is named Harry Wong. Apparently he's a big name is education. She and all her teacher friends can't understand why I think that's so funny! :-) She says I'm like a middle school boy... :-)

I heard this name once before. A fellow NICU nurse said she took care of twins; one was Regina (Re-gee-na) and the other was Vagina (Va-gee-na). Lucky Regina!

I think Child Protective Services should be notified, as this is obviously a concrete case of child abuse!

Re: Funny Names

I struggled with whether I should actually post this or not, but it's too good to pass up. Plus, it's absolutely true because it happened in my own family.

Background info: My family was (I say "was" because I no longer have contact with any of them) so dysfunctional that over the course of my life I've had three different psychiatrists actually cry over my life story and tell me "That is the most horrific childhood I have ever heard about".

So when I say that my mother is an absolute nut job who should have never been allowed by law to breed, don't flame me.

The last child my mother had (my half brother) was to be named after her husband's father, whose name was Martin Michael (first and middle name). As per hospital policy, moms are required to write out the name to ensure that the birth certificate is correct. So here's what she wrote and what appears on his birth certificate:

Martian Michelle.

Need I say more?
