There was a girl in one of my classes named Twinkles.

Last year at school I had a set of twins named Eric Wayne and Wayne Eric. Eric Wayne was at the top of his class, a great student and a great kid. His brother Wayne was a hypochondriac, failing everything and the biggest annoyance you ever met. I felt sorry for Eric because the two boys looked just alike and were constantly getting their names confused. The teachers could tel them apart by their behavior, though

Has someone already mentioned Esther Pauline (Ann Landers) and her twin Pauline Esther (Dear Abbie)?

My sister is Taylor Evan. Evan is our Dad's middle name.

My daughter is Emmalee Kay (like Emily)....Emma for short. Kay was my Grandma's nickname.

My Grandpa was Henry Fisher. Fisher was his mom's maiden name.

I may be a bit dense here, but...what's so strange about those names?

I just always thought it was weird that my Dad & step-mom gave my sister 2 boy names...although now I guess her name isn't that odd. As for my daughter it's not how it sounds that's weird.....everyone just has issues with how it's pronounced...I personally didn't think it would be that hard for people to get People call her all kinds of crazy things...that's why she just goes by Emma now....And my Grandpa is the only person I know that had a last name for a middle name. Lol

Taylor's one of those either/or names. (Like Taylor Hicks or Taylor Dayne). Evan is becoming a fashionable girls' name (Evan Rachel Wood).

A lot of men in the older generations have "family last names" as middle names (just look up the full names of most of our presidents!). And, actually...my grandmother's middle name was Stevens. She was named after the doctor who delivered her! So your family isn't as weird as you might think!

Lol that's good I guess. Although, when I was pregnant my Grandma wanted me to name my daughter JaKayla...she thought it was pretty..lol

I remember when one of my sisters was pregnant our little sister wanted twin girls with the names "Cottonelle" and "Charmin" My sister ended up having a boy who she named Austin Lane.

Had some parents name their girl "Srii" after some mythological character named "Tsrii." They chose not to spell it "Tsrii" because kids might call her "tree."

I knew a "Summer" once.

There is an Asian name of "Fuk" (pronounced "Fook") that I have seen. I thought the immigration folks should have pulled him aside and suggested a different spelling for his name.

I knew a Tsionah and a Simchah once. Both are from Jewish words. "Simchah" means "Joy" in Hebrew, and her mother's name was "Joy."

Devilyn - yeah, that's a good idea!

[Mommy of 2]

I remember my dad telling me he knew a kid named russell nails but everyone called him rusty.... rusty nails. He also knew a kid named semore butts (see more butts). What were the parents thinking????
