    One of my aunts had the middle name of "Uretta". She hated it and told her mother "You might as well have named me URINE and been done with it!"

    I have had several Strange ones....One was not so bad..Chrystal Lear...until you added the middle name Chandra..Chrystal Chandra Lear! There was this guy watching sports the whole time his wife was laboring and pushig when I asked what they were going to name thier daughter he said" E S P N." I asked, Espn, trying to make it a word and he said" No, E S P N." I said, like the sports network? And he said," Yea, cause we was watching it when she got knocked up!" But the one that made me mad was a medicaid pts husband who when asked the babies name said "Cashea Monae, spelled Cash' Money' 'cuse this baby is cash money to me."

    We had a pt last week named Kellie Kelly. We all figured she married a man named Kelly but it turned out she was single. Also I went to school with a Dusty Rhodes.

    Ooh, I forgot two!! We had twins not too long ago named Shaquita and Shakita. Pronounced the exact same way, spelled differently. Please tell me how SPELLING THEM DIFFERENTLY but pronouncing them the same way is significant. Anyone? Anyone? (sound of crickets) Hello? Right.

    Saw a baby girl named Fury last night. That's right. Fury. She was living up to her name too. One of the nurses kindly suggested she change the kids name to Patience. LOL

    How about these...Miranda, Cymphany, Drako, and Dravin...Names of nieces/nephews. My niece Carisma just named her baby Enchantment, I swear I tried to talk her out of it.
