More Strange Baby Names

Catma63 · Oct 20, 2004

Someone else may have remembered this and posted this in thier response but I can recall reading an article in the paper (and it seems to me it was along the time or a little before the time my eldest son was born 21 years ago) about a couple who's last name was DuDah naming their newborn Zippity.

hahhhaa

Interesting names! I had a friend growing up whose name was Shannon Dick, her father was named Harold. No kidding, and he WENT BY HARRY!!!!!
So what do you think of Savannah Rayne and Sahara Blue, weird?

There was a 'Harry Wong' at my old company. One of my most embarassing 'work moments' happened because of this guy. I received a requisition to install some software for 'Ed Wong'. I then received a phone call shortly thereafter from the requestor who said that she accidentally put the wrong first name for Mr. Wong; it should be Harry instead of Ed. I grabbed the requisition out of my coworker's inbox, scratched out 'Ed' and wrote in 'Harry', without noticing how the name sounded. Pretty soon, my coworker came over to me with the requisition and said, "Is this some kind of prank?" as he handed me the piece of paper with the guy's name on it. Well, it was at that moment that I read the name back to myself, and I blushed! :imbar I stammered, "The requestor called me and told me to change it!" It was a joke around the office for a long time.

On their 3rd try for a male, our neighbors learned they would have another girl, they named her JOHNETTA. Yes, after her Dad. she was the last one and they wanted a JR!!!

I didn't think it translated to the female version very well......

A friend had soooo many Braxton-hicks contractions that she actually named her son "Braxton Hicks" HA HA. although, it is kinda cute.

I have a friend whose children are named

Hosanna, Elijah and Zion. I didn't like Hosanna much at first, but love it now. Two of her kids (Hosanna and Elijah) had cancer one right after the other (Neuroblastoma, Stage IV) http://www2.caringbridge.org/ar/hosanna/

My sister named her kids

Alec Mikal (just weird spelling)

Grant Brytan

Auna Brooke (had to grow on me)

I have a friend whose married name is DICK. Her maiden name is FINE, I'm glad she didn't hyphenate her last name when she married:chuckle

I feel sorry for her kids when they go to h/s.

There's 70-ish man at the athletic club where I go named Harold Potter--he insists we call him "Harry". I don't know if he's seen the movies.

Regina is my given name (I go by a nick name), but one time I was presented an award (in church, no doubt) and the woman pronounced my name that way (rhymes with the female body part). I was sooooooo embarrassed!!:chuckle

CY-PHYLIS no doubt
Man that's the worst
Knew a girl named RE-GINA (long I)...

Pronunciation: shi-THEED

Spelling: Shithead

This obviously was not a child born in this country. I do believe the original spelling was eventually changed.
