The worst names ever heard


Our ferrets were named (in order of adoption) Spike (tough name for a softy), Lefty (Spike's right-hand man), Pancho (if you don't know about pancho and lefty, you don't know music), Jasmine (my niece was starting jazz dance class), Rocky (he had white paws like they were taped), Bugsy (he put Marty Feldman to shame with his wall-eyed but engaging gaze), Star (called Rats by her former owner), Ruby (OK we got her on a Tuesday), Taz (as a baby, he attacked his owners' adult ferrets, so she gave him to us), Stormy (I drove through a blizzard to adopt her), and Turbo (he had only two speeds and I didn't want to call him Coma).

Pet:

The neighborhood in which I lived when I was much younger (8 years old I think) had an old lab whose name was Kmere; pronounced K-meer.

Human:

My cousin claims that if I name my child Data, he will name his child Megatron. As much as I like Data and Star Trek: TNG, I would never name my child after anyone on the show: ever.

When I was about 10, I knew a guy called Calypso. I just googled it and I found out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calypso_%28mythology%29. So it seems a female name.

My mom worked at a hospital for years and saw some pretty crazy baby names come through. One woman named her baby Female (pronounced feh-MAH-lee) because it was on the baby's hospital wristband.
My sister later went to grad/med school with this Female (pronounced feh-MAH-lee)... although this naming mistake (thinking the hospital already named the baby based on an "ID tag") might be fairly common.

My friend's brother was in special education, and in our very small school it was common for the principal or the school secretary to wish kids happy birthday over the intercom system or page them on the intercom if they had an appointment with the nurse, or were needed in the front office for anything. They were very careful to call Mike "Michael", since his last name was/is Hunt.

In our church congregation in my hometown there was an elderly gentleman whom everybody knew as P. H. Wolfe. Even his wife called him "P. H." Not until several years after we joined (and I had gone off to college) did my parents learn that the initials stood for "Pleasant Harmonious."
