OHMIGOD!!!!!!!!!!! I was laughing so hard at this my husband actually came OUT OF THE BEDROOM to see what was so funny. You guys, I really needed this. I thought we were the only ones down here who had a largely illiterate population naming their children. Thanks. I have been working for four months now and have seen these... A mother named her baby Donald Donn. We called him Don Don, which isn't too bad, although a bit redundant. I had a mom name her baby LaQuinta, and I thought it was hispanic, but when I asked her how she chose the name, she said that was where the baby was conceived. (LaQuinta Inn, do ya'll have those?) The cake taker was a young, fifteen year old girl who had her second baby. The first was taken away from her, and when she was in delivery, she kept pushing. The doctor kept yelling, 'Stop, STOP!'. Guess what she named her son? Stop Jones. Yep. She said it was to remind her of how horrible it felt to give birth- every time she'd get near to having sex, she'd STOP. ROFL!!! We laughed for weeks about that one...wondered how she could reprimand her child as he got older- 'Stop, Stop!'. If she was telling him to move forward, she'd have to say, 'Go, Stop.' ROFLROFLROFL. We also just had a mom who named her beautiful daughter CANDIDA. We tried to explain, but she wasn't hearing any of it. I think this is hilarious...just think, someday, some nurse will be saying, I heard of this baby named Stop... We heard the 'Nosmoking' story down here ...nurse who told it SWORE she was there. Too funny!! She said they pronounced it 'Nozz-mo-king'. Whether it's true or not I'll never know, but makes you want to cry, doesn't it? Keep this post up...I can't wait to print it out and show it around at work.
