More Strange Baby Names

TenderTee2 · Oct 8, 2003

Well, my mom told me that my original name was "Raysting"... change the words and it would be "sting ray"!!!! Guess what...I married a man with last name Ray......so my name would have been Raysting Ray!!!!! Ugh!!!

Also, I went to nursing school with a girl whose name was Stormy Carr.....what was her parents thinking? I hope she's not reading this due to the fact that she might be a nurse now.....lol...

How about this list of names? My grandfather and his brothers were named:

Essington Dondell Wilson (My grandfather)

Essington Londell Wilson

Essington Mondell Wilson

Essington Blondell Wilson

Also, at one time I lived in Brasil. There, they have some sort of governmental office that must approve the name before it can go on the birth certificate. Seems that many poor and illiterate people tend to name their kids after people in the news - even if they don't know why the people are in the news in the first place. During WWII there was a rash of kids with names like Adolf Hitler Dos Santos and Benito Mussallini Osorio.

Hey all....

I just had to add to the strange names.....

A mother of triplets last year named her triplets..."A", "B" and "C" because that's what we had been calling them for 25 weeks...LOL. She ended up spelling them....Ayye, Bea and Sea...:-)

G'day.....

Hi guys,

People have said my name was strange. It's Sersey, dad got it from Greek mythology which is spelled Circe, my dad was out to see and mom did'nt know how to spell it, so that's how I got my spelling. I have a niece named Athena. We like the Greek names.

My neices and nephews are

Ariel (girl 16yr)

Luke (boy 14 1/2yr)

Clayton (boy 13yr)

Zoe (girl 11yr)

Wesley (boy 3yr)

Madden (girl 11mo)

All pretty much straight forward, except people get mixed up on Madden's name. Just tonight a waitress asked her brother, Wesley, what her name was and thought he was saying "Madison" and then "Madelyn" before figuring it out (I thought he was saying it very plainly myself).

My dad wanted to name me Feather, thank god my mom chose Lisa, I was over 9 #. As a teenager I baby sat for a pastor Sinn. In college I knew a guy named Faimous, he was a body builder/ health instructor. My mother in law's maiden name was Summer Ayers (airs).

I went to school with a girl named "Anal". She was from India and people weren't very nice. I was almost named Timber (my maiden last name was Wolff) and my dad joked around with the first name "Where"!! They also considered Summer and Sunshine. Thank God my mother had a favorite singer back in the 70's and it was a toss up between Carly after Carly Simon or Melanie. I got Melanie....which is funny because it means "dark" or "black" in Greek and I'm very fair w/freckles.

My husband's family had a tradition that stopped with him. The men are all named Clyde William, William Clyde, Clyde William, etc. with the generations alternating. He ended up with William Henry, but he should have been a Clyde William since his dad is William Clyde.

I also went to school with a Charity, Hope, and Faith..they were sisters.

I have also dated some unusual ones....Mathaniel, Heath, Alexis, Landrin, Aiko, Donovan....and I ended up marrying a Bill!!! LOL We have decided on kids names already....a boy, it will be Brody Alexander (his initials will be B.A.M....look out Emeril!!) and a girl will be Sophia Lynn (middle name taken after my mother in law). I figure those aren't run of the mill names and they aren't so far out there that nobody will be able to spell them.
