How about the parents who named their son Adolf Hitler? ....remember the skier Peek-a-Boo Street--her real name.

I Googled her and found a couple of interesting tidbits.

Her given name was inspired by the nearby Idaho town of Picabo, (pronounced "Peekaboo"), a Native American word meaning "shining waters".

Picabo's 'rents decided to let Picabo choose her own name when she was old enough so for the first two years of her life, she was called "Little Girl." When Picabo was two, her mother took her to get a US passport for a trip to Mexico. When Dee tried to write down "Little Girl" as daughter's first name, the guy at the passport office gave her a funny look and told her she had two weeks to give her daughter a "real name." So, Stubby and Dee named their daughter Picabo (after a small village in Idaho.) When she was four, Picabo's parents said she could change her name but she decided to keep it.

Considering her parents' names are Dee and Stubby, I think she did all right. I wonder how many people would remember her apart from her name?

My mother went to a cafe and the waitresses name was Female, pronounced Fa-mall-ee. Apparently her parents were from another country and thought the hospital named their baby when they put female down as the sex of the baby.

My daughter's names are Nevaeh (heaven spelled backwards) and Zariah (prononced like Mariah but with a Z) I am proud of their names and although one might think they are unsual..and maybe they r... I love them and they are beautiful names to me. They are african american angels and a person's name should not define who they are. It's really what's inside that counts.

Your daughters' names are lovely, but one of the things we've been saying is that Nevaeh is not an unusual name anymore. In fact, it's a very popular name right now. My postpartum unit and our NICU have care for many babies with that name.

I'd bet money they meant 'Nevaeh' and simply misspelled it.

We've got another 'Genesis' right now. :down: Ick! I just don't get it.

I'll tell you where I think "Genesis" came from. The story is similar to "Gage".

"Gage" was a paramedic on the 1970s show "Emergency" and people who watched it as kids remembered the name, liked it, and gave it to their sons (and probably a few daughters as well).

"Genesis" was a character on MTV's "The Real World" and I would imagine that is where it came from. She was notorious for leaving really terrible philosophical notes around their house which she dubbed "Genesisisms." :clown:

Edit: The following will be inevitable: girl/boy twins where Baby Girl A is named Genesis and Baby Boy B will be named Revelation.

ta-a. ( pronounced tadasha).

as i mentioned earlier in this thread i find theses types of names particularly disturbing.

the symbol - in the english language is a hyphen!

the person who did this should need their iq checked before they can name a pet never mind another human being
