While this is hardly world changing news I did find it rather amusing and somewhat thought provoking at the right of parents to name their children versus the right of children to have a vaguely socially acceptable name.

Here are some other examples:



I am guessing Number 16 bus shelter is the place of conception

Let me guess her parents where addicted to Crystal Meth and thought it'd be a real knee slapper and she'd go far in life with such a name.


I think I would have to back hand my parents if I was her for their brilliant idea. Actually they should be banned from making any decisions. ever. obviously.

Heh....I am always a fan of the 'weird and wacky' type of news items.

This reminded me of a family in the neighborhood where I grew up. The 3 children were named Dusty, Rocky, and Sandy. The father owned an excavation company (go figure...)

When I showed my partner the article giggling away she told me about a couple of kids she knew named Coca and Cola. Poor kids.

Just more of this, really........

Idiocracy

Pathetic.

I suppose you will love this..
My son's name is Tyger.
If it weren't for the popularity of Tiger Woods..his name would be odd.
But I didn't name him after the golf great.
I literally named him for the great animal in your avatar, and yes, he was born in the Chinese year of the Tiger. I just altered the spelling so that when he gets older, he can go by "Ty" for short, if he choses. We call him that anyway.
I also gave him a middle name that starts with "J"..so he could even go by "TJ" if he wanted to.

Funny.

Tallulah Bankhead is, no doubt, spinning in her grave.

Meanwhile Tulula Creek is moist with excitement hoping this will improve her cause.

Talula does the Hula. My this I needed so baddly. OMG. LOL

My brother in-laws last name is Wheeler, he was thinking of naming his son Dealer so that in the phone book it would show up as Wheeler Dealer.
This is true.

My sister Diana had a friend named Rhea. My sister thought is would be a nice name if not for the true meaning... DiaRhea... this is true.

I've thought a number of times about changing my name but heck there are just to many to choose from. Names are for identification and I think that as humans we should be given a temporary label till we are older and then upon adulthood that we should get to pick our own.

Of course as it stands now you have to pay to change your name and that makes sense cause they need to know who your title belongs to. You know, registration of your car, registration of your body, that kind of thing.

But as far as this girl is concerned I would have kept my name, but I am not young and if she has been having a hard time with it she should have the right to change it... at no charge.

I used to want to name my baby Coors Light lol!

...I never did though!
