'My daughter went to school in her prep year with
Sapphire, Crystal, Jade and a pearl'

I apoligise - I was wrong it was not Pearl I have just been reminded that it was in fact Amber - However what is one gem amongst another - I guess a lot to the mothers concerned - It must have been fashionable 20 years ago to have gem names. I must admit I did get them a bit confused

I know of one boy named Tyrannus Rex (yes,spelled that way) and one poor little girl named Tittianna - can you imagine the teasing in school?

Montserrat, for a girl.

Nice, I suppose, but she was in the NICU and someone made her a cute name sign. At first glance it looked like "Monster rat"

Nothing totally bizarre, just lots of stuff I couldn't even spell to post here.

However, the entire time I was pregnant, my hubby stated that if it was a girl, he wanted to name her "Content". (as in happy, satisfied).

Okay, the lady who was in the room with me when I had my older daughter named her son Country Joe.

My hubby does social security disability and he SWEARS that he PERSONALLY has seen people named Lemonjello and Orangejello (pronounced le-mohngello and or-ahngello). I don't know.

My daughter has a friend named Orion. All I can say is that his parents were way cooler than we were!

Oh! And I took care of a lady in her 80's whose name was Lola Dimples. Can you imagine? I told her she must have been the cutest baby in the world to have been named that!!!

Love

Dennie

A couple we know named their sixth child PATIENCE, with that spelling too. They found out they were expecting their sixth child just before he left for Saudi Arabia back in 1990. The woman had to single handedly take care of her pregnant self and five children the entire nine months of her pregnancy. She said she needed LOTS of Patience which is why she decided to name their baby girl Patience. Isn't that the sweetest thing!

Let's see there was Vinita (name of the town where the State Hospital was located), then there was Polaris (mom saw it on a sign), the twins named Sunny and Hunny(note the spelling), many many Heavens, Heaven Leighs, Miracle (which is usually an oxymoron), Precious Angel, and Lovely.
I have formulated a set of rules I wish we could get legislated.
#1 If the child will never be able to say or spell the name.
#2 If the child will never be able to pronounce the name.
#3 If it will get them beat up at school.
#4 If it is just plain stupid.
Then we will assign you a name for your baby.

I once heard of a mom who named her child Nosmoking.....said it was the last thing she saw before her c/s. I also had a teen mom who named her child Margarita......(sad). I learned from many years working with new parents how to keep a straight face.
