The strangest I've ever come across was recently shared by a friend. Her daughter is in class with a girl named Metallica. Metallica's siblings are named Nutella and Lamborghini. Growing up a lot of kids in my town used to prank call a man in the phonebook named Harry Glasscock.

:roflmao: Nutella? :roflmao: Metallica? :roflmao: Lamborghini?

I shouldn't laugh, kids with names like that grow up HARD. Some parents should be shot for the names they drop on their children. But they feel like their choice of names is meaningful to THEM and don't think of what their chlldren will go through at the hands of their peers.

I saw recently where a musician from the 60's, 70's and 80's had named his kids Santana, Marley, Cruz, Taj, and Lennon. Understandable, and not quite as bad as Nutella and Metallica.

And I've told this before here, but my mother went to school with a girl named Irma Ahpin, all the kids used to make retching-vomiting sounds at her, or call her Ima Urpin'. And then there was the poor unfortunate fellow with the name Harry Zass . . .

For real???

We had a transporter named LaParee. Mama had worked as a cook in a French restaurant and thought it would be cute to name her son after her place of employment.

I don't have any baby names to add sadly. But, my favorite physician name of all time is Dr. Pepper. She was a pediatrician in North Carolina, and, needless to say, a hit with the kiddos!
