LOL.

OK this is sad; true story I kid you not. When I was growing up I had a childhood friend named Harry. Sad to say his last name was Weiner. Of course I had no clue how bad that was until much later.

The story behind his name goes that his family is Jewish and there is a tradition of naming children after a relative that had recently passed away. The only name available at the time for his parents was Harry. So, instead of breaking tradition, they did what they're supposed to do in their family, and hence the name Harry Weiner. I still feel so bad for the guy and I havent seen him in over 15 years. I always wondered if he changed hisame legally when he got older.

I remember hearing of one girl who was named "female". The family pronounced it diffrently but it seems the parents basically thought the doctors who delivered their kid had given a name for their daughter and they went along with it.

After you meet someone named "Female" it opens your mind to believing people can do extremely stupid things.

Though the pic from the original poster is probably BS of course.

I have no clue if it's BS or not. I was emailed that from a friend of mine and thought it was strange enough to post here. It very well could be but I still got a laugh out of it

I guess if you have some odd accent and pronounced the name something like "drow piecook" and didn't notice how others pronounce it for awhile you could maybe get into naming a kid something like that. But you could probably make fun of someone with the name peacock no matter the first name probably. Elementary school kids probably would make fun of anyone who had a name containing the word "****".

I remember when I first heard that **** was actually a reference to male reproductive organs, having always only thought of it in the way of "**** fights" and such.

Basically learning after asking someone why they would be hurting a bird at home and having a kinda odd conversation on that.

My wife's a nurse in a Neonatal ICU, and she comes across all sorts of ridiculous names. Including...


Placenta, Darvon, and Ashole (pronounced Asholay).

Those are just the ones I can recall right now, I'll post more after I speak to her.

The set-up of that page looks like something from the Weekly World News or some similar rag. I wouldn't exactly trust a news source that specializes in Bat Boy.

Be kinda funny if little Espn ends up becoming a ballet dancer. But I think I remember reading one of those BS news papers that talked about martha stewart having made someone their ***** and monica lewinsky having an affair with aliens from outer space so I guess it just goes to show love can conquer all and whatnot.

I went to school with a kid named Ben Dover, I kid you not. Funny thing is he grew up to be a ****** any way. I also went to school with a girl named Cindy Crawford the sad part was she weighed in close to 300 pounds, so no she wasn't that Cindy Crawford.

The woman that lived ascross the street from us when I was a kid was named Tiny Hole. Well, her real name wasn't Tiny, but that was what she insisted everyone call her.

Holy hell.

I once met a man with the name of Richard Lipps.
Why don't parents think about these things beforehand?
