Stupidity knows no bounds, unbelievable
 

Some people should be sterilized before they can further contaminate the gene pool.

How about "Cleofus", "Lewanda" and "Shaniqua"?

How about "Barack"?

I'd like to be present if you and mule watched an episode of backyardigans together.

'course we'd have to put plastic down so when your heads exploded the mess would be contained.

Jeez, cut it out. Those are good tribal names, a lot of heritage in those names.

Are we discussing surnames or given names? :confused:

Barack...

When I worked at the RNC, we had a donor who called in once in a while named George Washington America. He was an immigrant, so he'd obviously changed his name as an adult. But it was his real, legal name and we had his checks with that name on them.

There was a woman in WalMart the other day yelling for her kids..."Lexus" and "Mercedes"...This was in the automotive dept. I thought she was asking about oil filters. :)

M'kay,

I guess there is a shortage of murderers, robbers, and rapist in NZ seeing as a judge has time to waste on this trivial BS.

Like they couldn't just call the kid Talula :rolleyes:

What was it Frank Zapa named his kids?

Some of my favorites:

Nosmo King
Orangejello
Pajama (pronounced "pag-e-may")

Some good english names:

Eda Dyck

Dick Hurtz

Peter Gazinya (Italian)

Bendova Poopyhead

There was a kid in my high school named Kurt Rodgers. He had a huge a$s so we started calling him Butt Rodgers. But then we merged Butt and Kurt and just started calling him Burt. I think it worked very well.

I was skinny in HS, my nickname was "Bones". Kids found out not to mess with Bones!

Dweezel and Moon Unit.

Man, some of you guys are friggin hopeless. I was going to post on this same subject figuring it was kind of a fun topic and relatively harmless to discuss (unless of course you're the kid that was given the weird name).

But of course some guys are desperate to be in the "in crowd" here by offering up the very latest Barack Obama/anything Democratic party-related jab that they have to make ANY subject political or race related.

Just wondering, don't you suppose to the people that pick names like Shaniqua or Lewanda, that they roll their eyes over names like Houston, Buffy, or Kierstan?:rolleyes:

and Ahmet and Diva

I roll my eyes at all those names. I kinda feel sorry for them.

I've got some good ones from when my wife worked in the ghetto, but I think they'd end up getting me banned we'll just leave it at how my wife put it: "ohh poor kid, he's going to get nicknamed 'spunk' in middle school" and the others second syllable in her name was pronounced theed

Oh man. That's got to pretty much seal their fate as future strippers and/or porn stars.

I dunno...but I do :rolleyes: right before I feed their resumes to my shredder...(to be honest, I'd probably shred "Buffy's" resume too).

My niece had a friend in her day care class named, "Jesus The God". Yeah, it's the Bible Belt...

I also used to work with a girl named "Suntania".

Did you work in a tanning salon? :D

Which only goes to show that superficiality, egotism and plain unadulterated STUPIDITY knows no race nor heritage!

In the hispanic culture (of which I am a member) the collective "we" - well the most traditional types anyway, still use Jesus (pronounced "Heh-soos") and names like Angel and older traditional names that no one who is a native English speaker really knows how to pronounce like say, "Rogelio" (Roh-eel-yo).

I kinda see why they do this but the ones that make me cringe is when the parent speaks English with a heavy accent (no issue there, at least they DO speak English) and they name their kid Crystal (:rolleyes:) or Tiffany (:rolleyes:) and call out to them "Cree-estal" or "Teefeenee". Now that elicits:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Dan, everyone likes the Hispanic tradition of using the name Jesus. It's so much more cool to call someone "Hey Zuess" than "Geezus". I'd much rather go by the Hispanic pronunciation.

I know a black guy who named his son Michael. He then said have you ever heard of a CEO named Jamal?

Unfortunately, I'd rather hear some of those names than the current crop of Tristans, Braedens, Dakotas, Pipers, and Chases populating Suburban America right now . . .

Sorry if any of you have kids with those names. Every kid but your kid is what I meant.SmileWavy

I think the title of this thread applies more to the intermeddling, know-it-all judge who needs to mind his own business.

good ol' Frank Zappa.

Ima and Ura Hogg. As it turns out, there was no "Ura" Hogg. But Imogene Hogg was a famous Texan philanthropist from oil money.

Touching on Jeremy's post, what's with this new trend of giving first names that are usually surnames? I think CNN's weatherman's name is Reynolds Wolf. Shouldn't that be the other way around?

I'm gonna make it real simple on my future kids - two boys named Mick and Keith.

That's Funny. Name evolution in progress.

I'm sure I've mentioned the name of a kid that my ex-wife used to teach - Rory Lyons.

Yeah, but...since when does anything on this forum stay "On Topic"? That's why it's called "Off Topic", no? (cough, cough Starbucks/Harley, cough...).

I have actually known two 'Dusty Rhodes" over the years.

Two of the coolest ethnic names in my hs were Stefanos Velosaropolous (his sister was Ariana) and Vadim Shkolnikov. We called Vadim "Rad Vad". We called Ivan Boesky's son (a classmate) "Ted the Terrible".

Kirsten is a name,

Cirstan is something your 14 yr Mom comes up with , when meeting her 'main man' Torbbo.
Rika

Yeah, had these people been Hispanic, this would have made more sense.

A kid I knew in High School was named Edward Ward. No lie. We presented him with the prestigious Edward E. Ward Award at graduation.

I've also known a Jennifer Erik (Jenn Eric = "generic") and a Dick Spitz in my days.

Some parents are completely clueless and or mentally deficient.

Dick Trickle still makes me laugh heartily...

Hey Danny, f-off on the starbucks....:D

Now back to this thread, about 9 years ago, my comapny was purchased by a large Swedish based firm. At about that time, one of the Regional President hired a guy named Thor. His middle name was Ivan, and none of us could figure out what he would look like. You know Thor being that big nordic comic book guy and all....

I read in the paper here that "Number 16 Bus Shelter" was so called as that was where the child was conceived!
