    Right up until the day I was born my parents were going to call me JR. This was before the days of Dallas, and no, that wasn't going to stand for anything.

    Also, one of my teachers at school is name Tom Thomason

    On the cable show Airline, there is a truly lovely employee named Yolande who has two kids. I don't remember what sex they are but they have the unfortunate pairing of Dallas and Kennedy.

    [quote=rnlabornurse4u]i decided, since the 2nd "strange baby names" thread was getting so long, let's start another.

    ready.....set.....go! [quote]

    one daddy was so in love with his new daughter, and she was his little princess, he insisted on naming her "princess." mom was a bit appalled, she made sure that the middle name was elizabeth so the kid would have a choice of which name to use. wish i could remember the last name, but frankly princess elizabeth is actually quite enough!

    I've heard of a mother naming her twin boys Winston and Salem. Yep, she was a chain smoker.

    The strangest name that I ever heard was "Phantom" - yes, as in Phantom of the Opera. This was my cousin's "step mother-in-law" (if there's such a thing) daughter's name for a boy. The other kid had a weird name, too, can't remember it at the moment. With a name like Phantom, I don't think he'd have a ghost of a chance escaping playground teasing... or my bad sense of humor.

    Needless to say, we did a lot of eye rolling when we heard that she'd named her baby Phantom.

    America was an old old name. Worked in LTC for many years and we had many ladies named "America". A little of topic but one I will never forget... America... confused as a little bed bug looked me dead in the eye and said "You USED TO BE so pretty... what happened?" Will never forget that name or that little old lady!!!

    More on topic... Tim Allen of Tool Time fame ... his real name is Richard Little and said for years he had to fight to not be called Dick!!!

    I worked in a NICU I talked someone out of naming their baby Meconium and the staff and social worker tallked someone else (16 year olds) out of calling their twin babies Shi'thead (pronounced Sha'heed and...sorry i can't remember what they were going to name the other twin. The reason we got social work involved on that one was because the kids were laughing as they were trying to think of a way to name them that would be funny. We considered it a sign of what type of parents they were about to become. It is one thing when you name your kid something like that out of stupidity but something else when you do it as a joke.

    Just finished almost a year in a Pediatrics office, and some..okay, A LOT of the babies names were scary!!

    The thing that amazes me, is these women name their children names that when you look at the spelling you can not figure out how to pronounce it, and the parent is actually angry that you misprounced the babies name.

    Nevaeh was a very common one.

    Growing up, my bestfriend was Tuesday Knight.

    In High School there was a girl a year behind me named Tommora Dream

    In 2 Doctors offices that I call frequently there is a Starr, Diamond, Bambi (yes, real name) and Jezell.
