    I've known several girls named Cinnamon, but the one that takes the cake (heehee) was my daughter's teacher a few years ago. Her full name was Cinnamon Crisp. It took me most of the year to be able to think about it without a giggle.

    Also when I was young we lived upstairs from a woman named Baby. It was funny to hear my dad come home, say "Hi, Baby", then come upstairs and say the same thing to me.
    Was Crisp her married name? That's a good one!!!

    How about Harry Butz?! My aunt used to tell a story of Harry taking some women-friends to church with him and the pastor asking "the women with Harry Butz" to stand up so that they congregation could extend a welcome to them. Dear Lord! Literally!

    Nope, she was single. Her parents actually did that to her on purpose. :spin:

    Well here are some names I've seen working in ER. A women whose last name was Hoare. She was married and there's a place on our form where they put their maiden name. So I checked thinking to myself I'd have kept my maiden name. Maiden name was Roten. All could say was at least she had enough sense not to hyphenate. Which brings me to the next one who ddn't have that sense. Moore-Pussey. some other names Vermon Supreme, Screeming Hawk and a little girl named Nho Nguyen pronounced no win

    We have a pt. who has 10 children. She is a bit of an ornary woman. A day after giving birth to her 8th child the nurses told her they needed a name and she had not yet chosen one for her daughter. Finally she yelled, okay, and this became her name.
