The worst names ever heard


More people seem to be making up names for their kids these days. The worst ones I have personally come upon are:
Sh*thead (*=i, PRONOUNCED "Shuh-theed"), Metal Alloy, and Meconium(the parents saw it on their discharge papers and thought it sounded pretty.....I guess they didn't have internet access to look up the meaning). I just feel sorry for those poor kids.

Anybody have more names to add to the list?

ha ha ha! 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. Another couple named their child Urine (pronounced yuREEN).

My friend from Florida knew of a woman who looked in her cupboard and decided to name her son Lemonjello ("le-MON-je-lo").

And a long ago friend of mine gave his son a random middle name. Specifically, Random.

Only trouble with those two is that Lemongiello is an actual Italian surnname and Random is an old Southern name.

Was it a boy or a girl?

Personally I wonder how names like 'Proton' or 'Neutron' would work in a wild :-)

There used to be a gynecologist in town named Dr. Clapp.

Governor Hogg of Texas named his daughter Ima. Ima Hogg. It's true.

Somehow, I think the parents of Meconium and Sh*thead would never think of Proton or Neutron on their own. Metal Alloy's dad was an engineer so that would be a possibility.....

Yesterday, Ivan pondered if some people just aren't meant to be parents.

I think this proves his point.

I knew a girl who named her baby some impossibly long name she invented by stringing together pieces of other names. It took her about a minute to recite the whole thing for me. I was horrified.

The great American tradition of giving their children impossible names is obviously still very much alive.

But, what could you expect of the descendants of guys named Increase who then went on to call their sons Cotton???

I knew a Chinese girl who had chosen a Westernised name when she moved over here for uni; Goldilocks.
