Unfortunate Names - Page 3

They had another George?!?! I knew they had a daughter, but was not sure of her name - didn't think it was George like though.

Oh, just remembered I met a waiter that had obviously Hippy 'rents .... they named him Tree ....

Nothing wring with Hippies per say, and there were some pretty cool names that came out of that era - Dweezil, Star ... but Tree?

This is just cruel .... hehehe [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Of course if he wanted to be extremely mean, he would name her Suki [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I've known people with potential giggle names that threatened to torure their kids with horrible combos like these .... just can't remember any though...

I went to school with a girl named Shermalee. Her parents expected a boy and were going to name her after her dad, Sherman. She hated it even more when her brother was born and he didn't get named Sherman.

As for people naming sons after their fathers, I've heard a lot of complaints. Most guys I've known that were named after their father, used their middle name instead. My cousin even uses his initials, instead of Gordon III. I never could understand why my husband got mad about me naming my son Patrick instead of Richard when my husband even said himself that he hated his name.

We have a Totty Aris as a teacher... she married into it
No double meaning, but still... sounds funny

How about the actor Rip Torn? Or Yellow Lemon?
On our medicare cards, your number begins with the first 3 letters of your last name and the first letter of your first name. So my neighbor Theresa Farrel always had documents showing "fart" on them.
One cool name though, was my friend Rick O'Shea. (think that's the way it was spelled...)

I go to school with twins, Wayne and Joanna King. Making Wayne King and Jo King

Alex Dick, take first initial. He is in one of my classes.

A friend had someone called John Brown. When teh surname was read out first it was a good joke.

And there must be one out there- Richard Head.

I went to school with Kathy Bond and her brother James.
Everyone called him "double "o" zero".
