DH thought it was hilarious, me: not so much. Just imagine the torture.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, on behalf of your son for resisting your husband's urge to saddle him with a horrible name for the sake of a cheap laugh. Lisp or no lisp, you can bet your boy would have been the object of many unfunny jokes.

Chlamydia.

Seriously. Of course, this was a mother in Guatemala who had no idea what the meaning of that word was!

I knew someone who named their daughter "Beautiful". I hope she grows up to be that name.

Not strange names but weird initials. My mom's name before she was married was: Evelyn Gladys Glenn.
Initials were: E-G-G. Her best friend's name happened to be: Helen Anne Moore. Initials: H-A-M.

Yikes!

At different times in my life I went to school with the following: Crystal and Shanda Leer, Mercedes Rolling, Tekkila (Pronounced like "Tequila"), and a Shevi (Like "Chevy"). My younger brother had a Mercedes Carr. My best friend's aunt works for the DMV here and had to call the other day to let us know that she did the license for a freshly-16-years-of-age "Tooth Fairy"... Have seen young kiddos in friends' kids' classrooms with names like Precious, Lovely, Beautiful, Lacy, Silkk, Sateen, Cadillac, etc. And a friend at work named her twin girls Grace Hope and Faith Love.

My exboyfriends name was Paul. Which is cool except that the rest of his siblings were Matthew Morgan Madison and Michelle and his parents were Mitch and Moira. I just thought it was kinda mean. He wasn't even the youngest or oldest he was smack in the middle. So he went by Mike.
