Funny Names

p.s. Another traveler has sworn up and down that she took care of a baby named Poopylickles. Because the parents loved the cutesy nickname so much they made it the baby's given name. I hope that this is pure fiction, but have seen too many bad names to write it off out of hand. Anyone else heard of poor Poopylickles?

I cannot live in a world where this is true. If anyone ever finds Poopylickles, let me know, because I'm moving to the South Pole. Or possibly Saturn.

Ok, I had to update this with some new names I've heard recently.
Awnesti- can you figure out how this one is pronounced? I'll tell you in the next post. ;>)
Aayionna- pronounced "E-on-a", the Aay is silent. LOL!

Well, of course. Don't you remember learning in elementary school that "Aay" is always silent when it precedes a vowel? :coollook:

I am not a nurse yet but have come across some interesting names!

I know a little girl named Lark, and a friend of mine who was visiting her sister met the neigbors kids named Swan(little boy) and Dove(little girl). I thought Lark was pretty cute, but Swan for a boy??

I also worked with a girl named Mystery! We all had little memo boxes at the job I was at and about a week before she was sceduled they labeled her box. I saw it and asked when did we get a mystery box?! I thought they were trying to pull one over on me when they said it was the new hire, oh! :mad:

My mom worked with a NURSE who had twins (a boy & a girl) and was so happy when she found out the "hospital already named her babies"... pronounced Molly & Famolly... spelled Male & Female.

I also do have a cop friend who arrested a Shi-thade... just put the "e" before the "a" for the spelling it was...
