Stupid names that parents give their children...

[Last of the Chinchillas]

Some people can be really idiotic when giving their children unique names. There's a couple in my local community who named their child (I shit you not):

Captain Friday Falkenburg

Do you live in Toontown or are they just insane?!

Surely, you jest. That young man is going to grow up to be the manliest man this side of Sparta with a name like that.

OT: I really hate the name Skye. Just, no. A thousand times no. I mean what, something respectable like Mary or Jennifer wouldn't work for her? You had to name her Skye, and doom her to a life of having a terrible name? That's just wrong, man.

Dick is a terrible name. Imagine what kids with that name go through in school.

you do realize their name really is Richard but they call them Dick right?

i'm glad i don't know anyone who named their kids something overly stupid, tho a friend did give the middle names of Ghoul and Zombie to his kids

i've heard of some really stupid names, the fact that the person might be nice doesn't change the fact that they have a stupid name

Actually, I did not know. Thanks for the info.

Gonna have to go with Dick, Jesus, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Sephiroth (some people actually almost named their kid that because they "thought it would be funny" ) and I think that sums it up for me.

There was a California June something I met once. Born in Minnesota... And those were the first and middle, not coincidental last names...

OP:Tanden is one weird name I've heard, and when parents name their kids 'Hope' or 'Destiny' that really annoys me.

What I've always found funny about a name like "hope" is that it might sound good when you first name your kid, but later on you realize how many situations in which a name like that just sounds stupid.

For example, say that kid got arrested. "Last night Hope was arrested for hitting an elderly man while driving drunk."

Moon Unit Zappa

Frank Zappa's child... Seriously

Oh my gee, that child needs to be an astronaut, NOW.

I believe she is a stand up comedian at the moment. I could be wrong though.

=Apple
-Lemonjello (no, this is a real kids name
-Orangejello (yes they were twins)
-Aquaneesha

Marajunadawn- and that's just her first name.
Kroger- its a grocery chain in Southeastern United States.
A teacher from my high school swear she taught a set of twins named Orangejello and Lemanjello.
Carlos Mencia swears that there were children named Toprameneesha and Usnavy. 'Course, he is a comedian so I take what he says with a massive grain of salt.
There is a set of brothers in New York City named Winner (oldest) and Loser (youngest). Loser is a police officer (sergeant or captain I think) and Winner frequently visits his brother on the job.
Also, my girlfriend and I have talked about naming our first son Manfred, but we aren't big fans of our future children and aren't planning on having them, so we can talk about fucking around with their names as much as we want.

On a hilarious coincidence with names, there was a woman who enlisted with the US Navy with the last name Guzzler. This made the appropriate way to address her: Seaman Guzzler.

Anyone who names their child after a videogame character pretty much qualifies, though the idea of The Red Spy Camilleri intrigues me.

"You know that joke you did about Americans and their names? Well I'm American. I'm Diabetic. My name's Candy".
To quote Adam Hills.

Isaac Cox.

If you don't get it, sound it out and get your mind in the gutter.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Xeno.


Yeah. Its a kid in my school.

[CRAVE CASE 55]

Moon Unit Zappa

Frank Zappa's child... Seriously

That's his daughter and his sons name is Dwezzle. I shit you not that is his name. Dwezzle Zappa haha.

 

[nWovance]

My older bro is named Stacey, turns out his gay so is that a win or what? LOL.

 

[The_Echo]

I've never seen any first hand. My city is boring that way.

Also, OP, Captain Friday Falkenburg.

Consider Friday as the middle name. Now it's one of the most amazing names ever.
