Stupid names that parents give their children...

[Cari-des]

Not that weird but if we have twin boys my boyfriend wants to name our children "Dante and Virgil." Dante I don't mind but there's no way in hell I'm naming my kid Virgil and have him be called "Virgil the Virgin" in high school.

He also wants to name our child Iron Tager. I think it's prime time for a slapping.

Well, if we want to give off some REAL winners here, I wish to present "Bellizima Mariana". Yes, this wonderful win of a name, which I am told means "beautiful pasta sauce" in Italian (I may or may not be making up the "pasta sauce" portion of that name) has been slaked up on my niece-by-proxy by her mother.

Why anyone would want to give a child a name that you'd attribute to someone shaking it and twirling on a greased pole in a dark club is beyond me. :\

while i do like my name i haven't heard of anyone else with the name Trent

Oh, there's a kid at my school named that. He's cool. He has to ride around on a segway, though.

Really nice kid though, played Candyland with him once in 7th grade.

During my previous jobs in call centers I have ran into multiple names that makes me question Mankind. Here are some that I wish I was making up:

*Wylder Mywyldersyde
*Leviathan
*La-ah (pronounced La Dash Ah)
*AntiChrist ( this one was when i was working for Paratransit and a mother was calling in to set up an account for her newborn son, this is the name she gave him.....)
*Abcde ( pronounced Ab-seh-dee)
*Gabby Gabrielle ( first and middle name)
* Willy Williams ( I dont get when parents name thier kids with a fisrt name that is partially included in the last name)

I met twins from Oklahoma, whos mother named them James and Jimmy.....it took three hours to convince them that Jimmy was infact the nickname for the name James. Jimmy then replied, well our momma isnt all that bright. (yeah ya think)

At Six Flags over Texas I ran into a girl whos name was Toshiba, well she was stuck on a rollercoaster and her mother is actually who I met, only because on the top of her lungs was screaming, "Where's my Toshiba! I want my baby Toshiba! Oh Lawd My baby stuck on dat Rollacoasta...TOSHIBA!"

I just don't get it. Boy named Sue is a great song, just not a great idea.

This kid I know, has an awesome name.

John-Marcus-Louis Gissandanner

I don't think his middle name is in there,

Well Keifer Sutherland's full name is as follows: Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland, his father did it as a joke while his mother was asleep after giving birth. And that was what she had to wake up to.

while my name is slightly odd it never occurred that it would ever illicit that sort of reaction
