You are the second person so far to have said this. I'm sure "sh*thead" is surely a myth! Crazy! But we never know!

Geez...even though I was a very young teen parent(15 when I delivered) I managed to think about my child's future and how his name would measure up as he became an adult..his name is Michael Patrick. I think I did a good job

I was told by an ER RN during school that she once had a couple name their kid Kitchen Sink Smith because that is where he came into the world. That was 20 years ago and I hope he has since been able to legally change it- like Prince did!!

I had a patient years ago and he was an older man (early 70's) and his first name was Ghoul - now I realize he was older, but I can't imagine the name 'Ghoul' being in vogue in ANY generation.

In my local paper, a nearby town lists the births at their hospital, and I swear the parents there must have contests to see who can come up with the most bizarre spellings for classic names.

Extra "H"s are popular too.

Fakers are a big problem on multiple birth websites, and are easy to spot because the pregnancies are impossibly easy, the babies are enormous (i.e. quadruplets weighing over 7 pounds each), and - this is a dead giveaway - the babies are always girls, with an occasional token boy tossed in, and they have these really cutesy names with lots of "Y"s in them.

At least they didn't name him Toilet!

BTW, Prince's name really is Prince Rogers Nelson. He claimed that stupid symbol was pronounced "Christopher."
