I once had a woman whos last name was Seeman, she named her baby Richard. Not so weird. That is until I found out the baby's nickname was going to be Dick. Dick Seeman. I feel bad for that poor kid when he grows up.

Meh, my dad's name was Dick, and our last name was the slang word used for a particular part of male genitalia, He thought it was hysterically funny, though of course as kids, WE were mortified.

You never know what people will be sensitive about.

Last year, I had a woman who had twin boys. I don't like to this out, but she was black. Their kids were named Orangejello and Lemonjello. They were pronounced "orran-gel-owe and lem-awn-gel-owe".

One of my good friends helped deliver a baby later named Shithell. Poor child...

Michelle!

On a whim, I just googled them. There are 5,860 entries! But alas, not a picture of the pair.

If it were spelled and pronounced "Sheetell" or "Shettell" it would be okay...

Funny story:

In the Jewish faith, when a boy is bar mitzvah'd, the Rabbi refers to him as Master...and then the last name. The boy I knew that was bar mitzvah'd had the last name of Bader.

You put it together...

I went to MA school with a Latabia. That sometimes made for comical moments with substitutes or on the first day with new teachers.
