Subject: If you could crueling name a child.....
I have the first name of Autumn, and as a child I heard all the season jokes as well as anything with a month. To top it all off I occasional get called Amber, April, Dawn and Heather.
Now as an adult, I like my name.
What makes me think of this topic is that my husband, Mr. Race Bannon, is always coming up with new ways to mess the minds of our future children. But in a lot of ways a name could really make or break the psyche of a person.
My personal favourites are:
1) Velvetta
2) Bunny
3) Guy (I mean really, what's the point)
4) Trixi
What would you name them?

- Babydoll: I worked with a person named like that :P
- Boya and Boyb: This has to be an urban legend, but the mother of these twins named them after the labels on their maternity-ward cribs: "Boy A" and "Boy B" because she thought the hospital picked the childrens' names :P
- James Bond: I thought he was joking until he showed ID :P
- Kimberly Clark: She was my lab partner in bio lab. She was very pretty and very friendly and had a weird name that made me chuckle :P
- Dam Bich: Those crazy crazy Vietnamese. I ran to the other side of the building to show the other kids that there was a person named "Dam Bich" :P
- Misty Spray: She also goes by the name "Starla" and it was all official :P Is she related in any way to... Hair... Spray ??? :P
- I've seen a couple of Madonnas and Michael Jacksons too :P :P
- Ima Bugg: This one also has to be an urban legend since I didn't see the Nordic woman that carried this name, but the other kids called her "June" :P
- April May: Yes, she exists - and she lives in Irvine :P
- Simion: I think that's the way they spelt it. Good god, who would name their kid THAT?! He is left open for soooo many pot-shots :P
- Pansy: On a guy... :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Subject: Re: If you could crueling name a child.....
Reminds me of an old joke. There was this country where children had to be named shortly after birth. A woman had just given birth to twins and the father was unconscious, so his brother, a practical joker, named the two, a boy and a girl. The girl was named Denise. The boy? Denephew!

In my town, there was a family with the children named after cars. There was Cadillac, Buick, Mercury, Lincoln, and another one, can't remember that one. They were all tougher than nails (still are) so you wouldn't dare make fun of their names.

Well, my brother, who is 36 but still living in the 70's, wants to name his first son Evel.(He has already named their cats Mopar and Hemi) Friends of theirs call their son "Quattro" (his legal name is blah blah IV). My cousin married a girl named Sandy Beach. And, while I was working for an insurance co, we used to find all kinds of interesting names. Example is the Sweet family. The daughters were named Really, Very, Truly, and Always. And, we also got a claim for a Mr. Dick Head. We used to keep them in a file, until the manager found out and told us we could get in serious trouble. I could go on forever with this one. Oh, and my favorite is a girl my dad used to date. Her bday was Dec 25 & her name was Candy Kane ;D
I wanted to name one of our sons Clark, but his best friend's last name is Clark and his first name is our last name so they would have been opposites. ;)
Subject: Re: If you could crueling name a child.....
I can agree with you there Cheer. I work at a managed care company, and some of the names that I see go thru are unbelievable. My personal two favorites: Minnie Vann, and a proctologist in Texas, last name Butts. ;D

Supposedly the Lear jet family has kids named Chanda and Gonda.
Subject: Re: If you could crueling name a child.....
This isn't two funny names for one person but it still kinda fits. When I was a kid my married neighbors' names were Freddy Pancake and Sandy Butter-Pancake. :) I heard on the news a few nights ago about a local (KY) woman having a baby while her husband was in Iraq. She's in her early 20's and her name was Anita Hearty-Dick. :o She used the hyphenated maiden and married name. Why? ??? Why would you do that?? My favorites are the Tom Thompson’s and the Andy Anderson names. Are people loco? Are there so few names that the kid has to have a double name? People are crazy!
Subject: Re: If you could crueling name a child.....
Speaking of Anita (also the name of the oldest woman in our beach house last summer, the wife of my cousin who went with us), a loan officer at a car dealership has the name Anita Carr. Is that a coincidence or is that a made-up name?
Subject: Re: If you could crueling name a child.....
I think Frank Zappa takes the cake on naming his kids. Dweezel and Moon Unit. Like, come on. Those poor kids. But I guess if you are the son/daughter of Frank Zappa, you can deal with it.
Where I used to work, we used to go through all the "famous" people who worked there. We had a George Burns, James Stewart (actually I think two of them), John Glenn, Janet Jackson (poor girl was always called "Nasty") Dale Evans (a male no less). I think there were more but that is all I can remember.

Also, generally in Greek families (probably in many other cultures too) the first son is usually named after the Garndfather.

Let's see. I have a cousin named Sebastian Igor, who named his son Sebastian Wolfgang. I also have a cousin named Thyme (born to hippy parents in the early 70s). My best friend had an aunt named Nelvalene Avenel Tilly. I also know some people who named their daughters Ocean and Dakota. I went to school with a girl named Schawanna, who had a younger sister Fegina.
My grandfather had a cousin named Henry Plantagenet Eppley.
A real laugh can be had going census records in the 1800s. One West Virginia family I found named their children Florida, Nevada, Montana, Louisiana, Missouri and Idaho.
And in the mid-1800s in Cornwall you will find a lot of boys named Abednego, Melchesidec and Mahalshalalhashbaz.

This is funny, although a bit off the thread - mea culpa
In Brazil, race is defined as a continuum, with like 40 different classifications - you can be a "black coffee, or a coffee with milk" unlike here with our bi-polar definition. A Brazilian sociologist explained this by asserting that in Brazil they did in fact create a very mixed population - the Catholic Portugese were accepting of black women "out of marriage", while the up tight Calvanists of British America were not. He goes on in that same vien. One student asked me what I thought of this theory. I said "I call this the pen!s theory of history, and I think it is all wet." The class roared, I turned as red as a beet, folded my notes, and said "that's it for today!" :-[ One of my most embarrasing moments ever. ;D

Actually, I have been to Belfast Maine, and its a very charming little city. I had a great lobster dinner in a little restaurant their some years ago. I meant no offense to either Belfast or the people who live there, who were all very nice to me during my brief stay. In fact, my comment had nothing to do with either your local dentist or your town, but was what I hoped would have been taken as a humerous reference to the Broadway show and movie, "The Little Shop of Horrors". Good Lord, some people seem to be just looking to be insulted ??? What's that about ???

Y'know, I may not know about professional boxing, but, man, I love amateur fights. Sometimes you get cool surprises and fight moves that you won't get to see with the pros (hehe, I'm still looking for a place where amateur boxers train here...). Anyway, I'll bet against Don Carlos - unless he starts typing legible sentences :) :D ;D

I'm quite aware of the reference, having seen LSOH myself as well. Had your comment been phrased differently, it might have been taken in the humorous context in which you meant. However, this was your phrasing:
Quoting:And they had a big plant in the office that kept saying "FEED ME SEYMOUR" ::)End Quote
The way you state this, with that particular smiley on the end, indicates that you do not believe the comment, with the smiley indicating " ::) Yeah, right."
Perhaps a better choice would have been "Let me guess, they had a big plant in the office that kept saying 'FEED ME SEYMOUR' ;D" Stated similar to this, I would have taken it in a far less serious vein than reading a comment that comes across with an attitude of "liar," which yours seemed to.
I'm not "looking to be insulted" thank you very much.
And John H? Grow up. Take your liberal Vs. Conservative BS and go back to your 2000's forum where you can feel free to ask all the questions you want and ignore the answers.

Is it nap time again? Forgive me, John, really, I'm so sorry I can't fit my life schedule around when you're online to respond to my posts. Forgive me for working 2 jobs, which means I don't get home until you've gone beddy-bye. And forgive me for taking time I have available during the day at my main job to make some posts here and there.
Tell ya what, why don't you post your schedule of availability here for us all to see, and we can all work our lives around it to ensure that when we post something, you'll be there to respond. Sound like a good plan to you? And you obviously do care about it, or you wouldn't have set up the lame little "Take Pot-Shots at John Harvey" thread. I swear, it's almost like Son of Crazy Don here. ;D
This is why I say grow up. The world does not revolve around you. It revolves around ChuckyG.

I'm confused. You are attributing a John Harvey post to me. We are two different people. I did not introduce politics here, but was trying to have a bit of fun. And as to getting out, YOU are the guest here, so maybe you should be more courtious to those of us who are members.

OK I just remembered this one.My phsics tutor at college came from the same village as the actress Diana Dors and apparently she arrived one day to open a village fete.The vicar was meant to announce her by her real name but was bad at remembering names so he decide the way he would recall it was by the fact it was a rude word with an 'L' in it.Basically he announced her as the girl local people would recall as 'Diane Clunt'.Diana Dors then took the stage and thanked him graciously but said her name was actually 'Diana Fluck'.

:D :DDid you know the word Dil means love in Hindi?Well,anyway,a good name to avoid for a girl,at least if you're English-speaking,is Therese or Terese.I mean ,most English speaking people pronounce it "Tuh-reese'--it sounds so lame.At least the french and germans pronounce it in a way that has a ring to it.Nowadays,there';s a rap singer9male)na,ed Tyreese,so that's another reason to avoid it for a girl.And don't name a girl terry--boys have definitely taken over this one1Cheers! :P :P
