A child was named Cain, I asked the parent how they chose that name. They said it was a Biblical name. Yes it is.

Twin boys, were named "Sir" & "Mister". Sadly, as they became teenagers, both ended up periodically on the news as juvenile offenders......

I kept looking for the end to this thread, but it goes on forever, so,I'll just post here. I have 2 great grandsons named Kyler Shane and Gunner Dane. Not really that bad but not alot of originality. Actually I,might get them mixed up and it might be Kyler Dane and Gunner Shane. Both adorable little boys. I tried to get the parents to not do the name Gunner. But they wouldn't hear of it.

I remember my grandmother talking about her sisters daughter naming a baby Tasha. My grandmother was always one for a joke, and she said they should call it Tash-hole.

Knew someone named Muffin at school. Came across these doozies Over the years. Dusty Rhodes, Chip Monk, Sweet Jeezus, Rainn Mann, Chocolat, Gypsie Rose, Stetson Roper (obviously a cowboy) Maverick, Raeven Blak, Jagger, MK (just the initials of his parents) Johnson whose last name was Long.

Felony and Exstasy are the two weirdest (and cruelest) names I have heard so far.

Hard to believe these names. Are they verified or jokes?

I had a foreign student named Shital. pronounced differently.

What if a last name is covid?

Specializes in Emergency Department.

Question: does anyone know if the Department of Vital Statistics screens names prior to actually issuing the birth certificate? I never tested it with my kids, but if a parent puts something vulgar or insane on a birth certificate application, would it go through? If they do, is that why nurses might report some of these names, but no one has seen them in real life?

I know my state screens the applications for personalized car license plates, and you can't have things like vulgarities on them. I hope they at least do that for children...
