[DaveC426913]

... Meconium(the parents saw it on their discharge papers...

Meconium. Discharge.

Ahahaha!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Twins, actually. Lemonjello and Oranjello. My mom (a doctor) knows who delivered them.

Bill Cosby?

 

[Ben Niehoff]

I'll have to ask her to confirm the story. I didn't know it was a common urban legend.

 

[Dadface]

I know somebody called Robert.

 

[Borg]

I dated a speech therapist once who told me about a patient named Psalm Siv. She asked where they got such an unusal name and they replied that they wanted to give their child a name from the bible. They had randomly opened the bible and chose Psalms IV.

(Sorry if this was already mentioned -- I didn't read through the whole thread) Anyone else run into this yet? A friend of mine works at a daycare and defied us to pronounce this name:

La-a

 

[Ben Niehoff]

One of my friends' friends had a run-in with La-a also...small world.

Hope it's not as hard to do as Nippl-e.

 

[IMP]

I have a friend who name his dog "dee-OH-gee" (kind of strung together, hard to write it down)
Cat was named "see-A-tee" (again strung together)

 

[hypatia]

My friend has two cats one named butaum {but ummm} and the other andum {and ummm}.

 

[DaveC426913]

My friend has a pair or turtles named Sam & Ella.

Who knew that Bill Cosby's real name was Jesus Christ?

Well, if you want to get into pet names, here are a few of ours from four generations of pets. There were more...

Yiddo, Dirt (I), (II), and (III) [Dirt the 3rd was known affectionately as Dirt the Turd], Sheepdip, Grunt, Tater, Spud, Speedbump, Crash, Dr. Who, Bun [short for Bunhead, a compromise to Tsu's desired name of Butthead] (I), (II), and (III), and finally, named in honor of our own Zoobyshoe, Zoobie. I think Zoobie is a good name but wanted to mention the motivation.

 

[lisab]

We had a pygmy goat named Butthead.

But maybe I shouldn't post this in worst names, it was a great name for a great little goat.

Grunt and Bambi were pygmies, with Bambi being the mother of Tater and Spud. Pygmy goats are a blast! ...a real pain the butt at times but a lot of fun.

 

[drizzle]

Did he [you Zshoe] ever mentioned what his name means? Cause it has a terrible meaning in another language...Only a guy would dare and tell what it means

 

[turbo]

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).

 

[DaveC426913]

My sister had a cat named Harry.
And when my parents weren't around ... it went but its full nume Harry Scrotum.

 

[saldana787]

There is a kid at my school whose name is Jared Quiff.

 

[Dembadon]

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.

 

[fluidistic]

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_(mythology). So it seems a female name.

 

[The legend]

There are some tribes I heard about who name their kid anything new they here!
The strange cases are:
1)Ice-cream
2)Water(the tribals don't know english)
3)Computer
etc
too odd!

 

[physics girl phd]

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.

 

[turbo]

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."
