My favorites are "Toolio", "Kakinston", "Scatman", "Legend Haakon", "Catatonia Calliope" and "Loinsworth".

"Toolio"...

Is that worse than Hank Andbeans?

People are just plan stupid and cruel to their children. Don't they realize this poor child is going to grow up being teased and will probably be made fun of for the rest of his life?

Living in California I've heard any number of stupid names. Every thing from a hippie name like "Stardust" or "Peace" to the just plain asinine like Mr. & Mrs. Wall naming their son "Stone".

are those people drooling morons or what?

No, it is much better to go with a nice, safe, conservative name for a child then to get to far out there and doom a child to a lifetime of scorn.

I dont know. That name doesnt bring up any particular syneirmous (congectures?) in Greek.

I knew of a guy named Richard Thickens. Once you get past the early ridicule, a name like that ages nicely.

I imagine that he wanted to only be called Richard instead of any other nickname.

Arrian · January 30, 2003, 15:27

Nope.

(probably) an Urban Legend in Israel :

Some guy wanted to amuse his friends, so he changed his name to Adolf Hitler.

He didnt know that you need to wait for 7 years before changing the name again.

lol @ the bottom three entries on page three.

I knew a girl whose last name was goat.

"Miss Goat please come to the reception desk" and all that.

She changed it to her granmothers name which was not animal related, much to the chagrin of her father.

Arrian · January 30, 2003, 15:34

Paiktis, did you **** the goat?

Oerdin · January 30, 2003, 15:37

I always knew those Greek guys liked goats!

When my mom used to work at the local hospital while she was in college there was a single mother who named her son Bastardo. No joke.

Bereta_Eder · January 30, 2003, 15:40

Nope

But there was a freak thing some decades ago. Allegendly in some remote village a human-sheep mutation was born...

The poor thing didn't last but a few minutes.

Or maybe it's just a village legend

Stupid babies have the same sort of names as smart babies.

Stefu · January 30, 2003, 15:44

I honestly think U.S needs a law concerning baby names, like we have in Finland. Naming your child 'Toolio' isn't freedom, it's child abuse.

In my book this rates right up there and thank the powers that be that my mother had the good sense enough to over rule my father when he wanted to name me Quieda pronounced Weeda but wound up naming me Mary Jayne insted. And no he wasn't a hippie he was a Lt. Col. in the Air Force

Inverse Icarus · January 30, 2003, 16:29

These are great!

My own meager addition:

Christophpher

Yes, with a double "ph". Someone actually named her son that.

And in one of the blocks where I deliver the newspaper there's someone named "T. Bone". At least it says so on the sign.

Ppl I work with: Harry Guy and Thom Thomas
A kid my brother-in-law teaches: Mike Hunt (Just say it out loud and really fast)

I heard about some brit who named his son "Lord" or something like that, and he was made to change it.

I think it would be cool to have your name be a title; Lord, King, Duke, Doctor... I would take Academy Award Nominee.

this one made me laugh :

How about Lou? When I was in England, I heard that name and it seemed to have a little tinkle to it. Randy is good too.

You weren't listening QUITE hard enough in England, were you?

Datajack Franit · January 30, 2003, 17:51

My mother wanted to name me Vladimir

mactbone · January 30, 2003, 18:32

There's an NHL player who's first or last name is Satan, pronounced Say-tahn.
