The 20 Strangest Baby Names by Gamine(f): 10:49am On Jul 25, 2008 |
We're familiar with the celebrity trend of giving children playful, silly, impractical names on the basis that they'll never have to endure the vicissitudes of a real school or workplace. The first one most of us noticed was probably Zowie Bowie, or perhaps Marc Bolan's little boy Rolan, and probably reached its apotheosis in the wilful christening flightiness evinced by Bob Geldof or Gywneth Paltrow. Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback, the authors of a new book, Bad Baby Names, have looked into a century of US census reports and discovered that the history of weird names is longer, and stranger, than most of us could have possibly imagined… Here, in ascending order of weirdness, are the 20 strangest: 20: Wanna Funk 19: United States 18: Lotta Bacon 17: Hysteria Johnson 16: Waitress Seholley 15: Nail Rambo 14: Jump Jump 13: Tackle Feigenbutz 12: Mustard M.Mustard 11: Jelly Bean Cook 10: Fat Meat Fields 9: Geography Bryan 8: Zero Pie 7: Cylinder Klinefelter 6: Nice Veal 5: Cylclops Walthour 4: Envy Burger 3: Cancer Grindstaff 2: Young Boozer 1: Dracula Taylor And, just to demonstrate that not all parents are capricious and mischievous come christening time, here are an even dozen names that I’d prefer to plain old Michael Moran: Peach Skeeters Watermelon Pete McNeil Experience Fairweathers Limbo Holloway Bluebell Plopper Beauty Outlaw Darth Wilson Christian Devil Welcome Darling Sexy Chambers Love Catts Permelia Buckaroo Courtesy Alphamummy so which one will you name ur kid |

Mercedes is a Spanish name meaning "mercies". The car was named after the little daughter of a wealthy Austrian automobile entrepreneur who commissioned German company, Daimler, to create the model. I think its a really lovely name. |

Re: The 20 Strangest Baby Names by HRhotness(f): 12:08am On Jul 26, 2008 |
it was in the papers this morning that the parents of an 8yr old girl named "Tallulah does the hula from Hawaii" have lost custody of the child as such names constitute child abuse, I absolutely agree, her parents must hav been on cheap drugs to come up with such a shitty name |

@ Ruby_pearl u'll be shocked kind of names pple give their children they believe it doesnt matter. "a good name is better than silver and gold" so y not take your tym in choosing a name 4 ur child after all u had 9 whole months to prepare and all u can come up wit is [list] [li]salt[list] [li]sorrow wildchase keeper[/li] [li][/li] [/list][/li] [li][/li] [/list], The extents some xtians go to is even more hilarious like naming ur child HOLY GHOST FIRE,or HALLELUYAH, or AMEN.i mean u can do much better. It really sucks if i were the one they gave any of those names(tankfully not)i'd change it without thinking twice n v avery long discussion wit ma folks on y dey had to humiliate me. |
