Ok, so I posted these a long time ago, but ran into my friend the other day and she had 2 more children. Of course I had to ask...
Her 5 children are:
Ocean (boy)
Rain
Sunshine
River (not sure if B/G)
Willow
Here we go ladies and gentlemen. At one time I worked in a tiny hospital in KY. The kitchen had been "donated" by two sisters. Their names were engraved boldly on a plaque right outside the door.
Graciously Donated

Ima and Ura Hogg
I'm not kidding.:loveya: There were a lot of really strange names down there.

So there really was a "Ura Hogg"! I know the story of the sister of Ima Hogg in Texas is apocryphal.
Yes, the Hogg sisters in Harrodsburg, KY were quite well known. Both spinsters. Lived in a huge white house on the main drag. They actually owned and ran the old hardware store in town after their father died. They were really old when I met them. The hardware store consisted of a long building with long wooden tables. The items were laid out on top of the tables. Things one would never think were even made any more. I loved going in there. They were really nice ladies.

This is not a hospital story but where I once lived there was a prominent couple who had a baby boy. They left him un-named, however they managed that, until he could choose his own name. As they had to call him something to get his attention they called him "Buddy", so when the child was 3, he decided his name was going to be "Buddy", he knew nothing else!!!
Ink, I live on the west coast of Canada on an island, those names are the norm here.

Remember the ski champion Picabo Street? Her parents were hippies who believed that she should name herself, and at age 2, they had the birth certificate amended from Baby Girl Street to this - pronounced "Peek-a-boo".
True story.

(AP)-The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance. Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the Greenwich ShopRite, but with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article over the weekend on their flare-up over frosting.The Campbells' other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.

I saw on another website that the whole family is on SSI; the dad has back pain, the mom has some other vague chronic condition, and all the kids are bipolar.

Peek a boo
Isn't there a skier by that name. I would think that is the most interesting.

I once took care of a patient with the first name "Kermit". Yep, that was his legal name.
I think we tend to forget that some of the names that are associated with cartoon characters, etc. were originally "regular" names. I know a guy whose name is Alvin--named long before the chipmunk was! In fact, he tells me that the song came out when he was in high school...
