Bizarre Names

You have to read this article about families in New Zealand who gave their children bizarre names like Fish and Chips. What is even more bizarre though, is which names the courts decided to permit. You have to read this.

A girl I went to school with was named Candace Caine... by 7th grade she absolutely insisted she be called Candace and not Candie.

I met a girl once named Stormy Knight

i read that... i was like... you love your kid right.... why do you give it weird names on purpose... you know they will get bullied merciless? its bizarre

oh girl.. that's the first time i saw your pic.. how beautiful you are!!!

Stars really give their kids messed up names,

Apple, Blanket, Pilot to name a few.

I went to school with a girl who's last name was Fluck, the poor girl was teased so bad. Kids can be sooooo cruel.

When I named my kids I made sure that nothing horrible rhymed with them. I'm sure that kids could tease any name if they really wanted to, I just didn't want to make them a target.

I knew a girl in my elementary school...

No joke, she was named "Princess".

Poor girl.

What strikes me though is how legislation could take away a funny name and not forbid the name Violence. What gets into some people's heads?

theres a girl around here.. her name is Autumn Breeze.

my dad knew a kid called James Rawlinson Celestial Parr.
whats wrong with james parr?
whos called their kid blanket?
i think you can take the %#@&#! of any name really. i became toto, square, and many other names. my brother henry was called chicken for a while.. henry, hen, chicken.
my littles bro alberts nickname is sherbert.
my ex wanted to call his son salvatore if he had one...
needless to say i hope he doesnt have one.

That is truly odd, but I have to say, I'm kinda glad the judge did what he did. They're called nicknames for a reason. (Although "Talula does the hula" is a phrase.) My sister's nickname was banana, because my mom would call her Suzanna Banana Tanna, but she'd never have given her that as her real name.

<font color="purple">My name is chloe, thankfuly for me...nobody can really make fun of it. I'm suprised though about how popular the name has become! NOBODY ha my name growing up, and then all of a sudden I've seen several little girls running around with the name. Interesting. </font>

Selfy, Michael Jackson named his son Blanket.

My name is April, my name got picked apart...

I got called Ape, Apy, A. Then I alway here "it's not April it's September (or what ever month we are in). April showers, April in paris. The smaller kids called me apple (could pronouce April), my great-grandmom called me Apple Jacks. My one Aunt calls me Bapple. I could keep going but I stop!

If someone actually calls me my my real name, I know their pissed at me.

When I lived in central MO I rented from a guy who's last name was "Popp." Yep, he and his wife had named their children Soda, Lolly, and the boy... hmmm can't recall but it was similar.

I was on holiday once and heard a dad calling to his daughter... he was saying Safeway (which was a supermarkets name in the UK)
I also read a newspaper article once about a couple who had just got married. The woman's first name was Orson and the man's name was Mr Kart. The woman is now called Orson Kart ('horse 'n' cart')

Safeway is a supermarket in some parts of Canada here too! Very cool.

Name your children NORMAL names PLEASE.

Then again, I do have a friend whose name is Queenie, but at least she likes it.

oh i heard about a woman who went into a dr office once with her new born baby. clerk said 'what an adorable little girl. whats her name?' the woman said her baby's name was female'.......she said the hospital named the baby for her. female'...female baby..

vetswife, i went to school with a girl named april, her sister's name was may and her mother's name was june.

lost

Well, I guess she put her children or at least their names before hers.

ba dum dum

I had a friend who didn't think of initials when she named her son. The name is lovely but look at the initials....Alexander Stephen Sinclair.

My maiden name initials were LAD (me being a woman it was a bit annoying). When I dated a guy whose last name was deYoung....I thought I would finally change my initials from lad to lady. It didn't work out.

ha...ha....ha.

Very funny wanttoheal. I heard these kind of jokes all my life.

But some people set them selves up for it. April, May and June. I'm sorry, that's kind of cute, but she was setting herself up to be teased.

I still remember in elementary school, a boy who was named Hugh Hughes. My college roomate's last name was Rosier and her sister married a guy whose last name was Day; they joked about maybe naming their daughter Rosier Day.

I know there was a civic leader in Fort Wayne, Indiana once named Harry Baals (pronounced balls, yes, harry balls). They named a street after him and I got to go survey there. Yep, Harry Baals Drive.

A friend of mine worked with a Mr. Audley Quear.
What kind of parents would do that to a child?

We had a substitute teacher named Mr. Dull, and he was true to his name. Very, very dull. Almost a caricature. He looked kinda like Dilbert, except not cute. And he didn't have a tie that pointed up.

my dentists name is Dr Byrne (burn!? lol)

OH! and i had a Dr Koff (cough)
