wierd,strange,unusal and just down right wrong names for Kids.

One of my 2nd grade teacher's was Mrs. Lear. I can't remember if it was her inlaws or her, that named their daughter Shanda.

Chandelier? C'mon now... That's just ridiculous.

Although everyone I know gives me grief about naming my sons after Irish saints. Saint Kieran (keer-inn) and Saint Declan (deck-lynn). I've heard them BOTH before and they're commonly used in Ireland. We're proud of our heritage, I don't see why people think it's okay to criticize what I name my children. Every single time we have a doctor visit, the nurses pronounce them wrong and then roll their eyes at me and make a comment about their names. "De Clan? Wow."... Had I spelled it the original 'Deaglan', they'd REALLY have a h*ll of a time of it, huh?

my daughter had a child in an education observation class name nonsense

. Pronounced Sha-thead. Go figure. How's that to scar a kid for life.

I read that OP on line this morning...oy!!!
My Great Grandmother was Ida Eda Bowen...It was a common name in the 1890's when she was born. She also had a cousin who's name was Virginia Hamm.

My poor kid's gonna have to go through his life spelling his last name... but he can blame his Greek dad on that...Mihalopoulos...It means son of Michael.

My sister in law is a teacher. She had a student named nonsense also. She told me that the student always got picked on for it.

My niece's husband's first name is Finest, I kid you not. Other niece's husband's boss 20 years ago was Richard Dick.

And I had a cousin who named her 13th child Justin Other. I swear.

Years ago, I was working in a clothing store while I was in college. A young lady came in one day and paid for her purchase with a personal check, and her name was on the check-Anita Brain.

When I was growing up, I swear I remember seeing the names Ima Hogg and Ura Hogg in the phone book.

A guy named Harry Lipps goes to my mother's church.

One of my colleagues had a student named Doctor Washington.

There is a urologist here in the Austin area...Dr. Dick Chop. A woman named Henie Aho worked at a bank where I used to live. And a friend had a child in her class named Richard Head III, talk about perpetuating a cruel name. I don't know if people don't think about the names, don't care or think they are being clever. I know I have been know to call my dear son Samuel "Sam the Mule" as occasion has warrented. But I ruled out names I like simply because the were too easy to twist....

Beryl=barrel
Moira- moy-ra
Peter=penis
John=toilet

There were other, I can't think of them now.

I read in People magazine not to long ago that the actor Mathew Maconaghy(How to lose a guy in 10 days) has a brother named Rooster. Now I am not sure, that could be a nickname. However he named his son Miller Lyte! He said him and his wife had a deal. She got to name it if it was a girl and he got to name a boy! I bet she wishes it was a girl!
