While rotating through OB clinicals last summer, the nurse I followed told me her patient the day earlier had named her little boy "Meconium". Now, this is just sad!

she's got to be pulling your leg!

Last night, I was watching some reality show, and one of the contestants was named candida. Certainly not a name I would choose for my daughter to go through life answering to....

I had a friend in high school whose aunt named her baby "Misty Dawn".

Hoping for her to grow up to be a stripper?

Our local paper recently ran a story about the first baby born in the New Year. The honored infant had an older sister named "Strange". The paper made a point of publishing the phonetic pronunciation: stran JAY.

I was at Home Depot recently, dealing with a clerk who was not the brightest bulb in the marquee. When I noticed her name on her name tag, I almost split a gut! "Average". My first thought was, "No, perhaps a little below average."

We had a woman a few weeks ago name her daughter Honey.

The only thing that kept running through my head was "Everyone please welcome to the stage....Honey!"

Also a few months ago had a family name their daughter Foxy, after her great-grandmother. Nice to carry on a family name, but Foxy!

There was a guy who worked at my old gym whose first name was, I kid you not, "Mister."

He called one day to remind me of a complimentary upcoming personal trainer appointment. My husband answered, and I kept hearing him say, "Mister WHO? Mister WHO? What is your FIRST name? What is your LAST name? WHO should I tell her is calling?"

It was Mister Mister calling. One of those "Who's on first?" moments.
