OMG, when I was stationed @ Darnell Hospital, Fort Hood, TX, we delivered a baby born to a GI & his Mexican wife. She knew little English, but had seen the word "lady parts" on a poster in L & D. So she wanted her daughter named "lady parts" - pronounced Va-jeen-a. Picture trying to tell her why this was a bad idea!!

I posted on another thread that last night on Wheel of Fortune there was a full-grown adult woman whose name-tag identified her as "SPROUT".

And I believe not too long ago I posted here about the woman on Family Feud, whose mother had named her "MALAISE'.

Also have known several Mara's; they did not know, and I didn't tell them, but Mara means "sorrow".

Casual (male)

Courvoisier (female-- named after a brand of cognac)

At the hospital I did my L&D rotation at, there was a big wall with the names and hand/foot prints of babies born there. One that stuck out to me was Beowulf.

Parents must've been English majors in college.:)

I've seen the name The-ia, pronounced Tha DASH ia. What are parents thinking?

I thought the same thing.

Wonder what some of those kids' future business cards will look like?!?!?

Oh yeah! Let's take them seriously!

Unfortunately parents don't realize what they are doing
