Heard Of Any Unusual names?

Good discussion .There was a girl at our office that was called 'Latrina Pitt".When I first heard it I though that it was a joke. I don’t know about your culture but in ours a "Pit Latrine " is an outside toilet that doesn’t use any flushing mechanism it is basically a hole in the ground that is used by persons without running water .It is usually dug into the ground and covered and when it get full it is covered over with dirt and abandoned ,anyway this may be too much information. The meat of the issue is that this girl was basically called a toilet and I am hoping it was ignorance on the part of the parents rather than a cruel joke because that would be cruel to give a girl a name like that. Can you imagine the amount of ridicule she suffered by children and the snickers and 'under their breath comments"...must be an ordeal but every word is true. I think she got fired from our company but go figure with a name like that ,she is bound to have issues.

i heard a lady in target call her daughter "equality" and i crapped up because i thought it was a ridiculous name for a person. the concept is nice and all but it is NOT a name.

I love interesting names! There is that great ice dancer from Canada, now skating for the US, named Tanith. I think that is neat. There are any number of girls where I work with unusual names. Naishia, Sunithia, Jelicia, Khadeeja,Tshauljy and Rhodesha. There is one girl named Bunnie. Another girl who I used to work with named her girls, Precious, Aisha, Tanisha, Aija, and Taisha. One of the residents at work didn't know she was having twins when her daughters were born and named the first one Dawn and the second one Dawna!

I think people has lose out on the meaning of good names for their babies. How would you think the child react when they grow up and doesn't like their names and forced to live with their weird sounding names? I have heard of people naming their babies 'PIANO', 'APPLE' and even 'BANANA'

[i][b]Happy Rabbit! Gosh! No offense meant but I guess I wouldn't want to give my son a name with that meaning! Yup, there are so many strange names nowadays. I think I can attribute that to the fact that some people just wanted to give their children a unique name since thousands of people have been using the name Mark or Christian or Mary. I remember my cousin naming her nephew Xymaughn (read as Simon). I asked her (rather violently, hahaha)why that spelling, and she told me just to be unique. Gosh! I just hope the poor kid would remember the spelling of his own name [/b] [/i]

Hi there...there is this lady in our neighborhood,about 40 something,named Plock-lick. Upon hearing the name from my mother in law, I thought she was naming her names, for a long time I thought she was joking. Then one day, we were in my in law's house again, the house help said ma'am, Plock-Lick is here looking for you, I really gasped and left my mouth open for a while. It is her real name after all. They had a community program with our parish priest and I learned that he gave a comment like...ok, Plock-lick will be accepted as long as it is not, Plock-plock-which is very near our slang for a nasty word- or Lick-Lick,which we all know what it means...poor woman. Im sure she is proud of her name, because if I had that name...as soon as I turned the legal age,I could have changed it right away. Thank God,I have a nice name.

Those names can set up a kid for disaster. They might be cool when the kid is born, but when they grow up, the celeb or band they are named after might have ruined their reputation. I like Mango though. I think whimsical names are great, but you have to keep in mind what they rhyme with, what they sound like. Also, it has to be easy to pronounce. I might have a little boy named Batman one day. Batman will never grow old. But when he fills out resumes and registers for things, it might be hard.

My daughter's name is a combination of her biological father and my own name. His name...Karl, my name..Lynne, her name...Karlynne.

I live in France and work with people from all over the world, so I hear plenty of unusual names. After 14 years I still don't know the names of half the people I work with, which is sad but I can't even understand them half the time let alone remember them!

My unlce by marriage named his daughters with his first wife a combination of his name and their mother name, the names are very wierd but I forget their first names because I know them by their middle names which are more common.
