You've come across names before, I'm sure, that have different spellings or pronunciations. You've probably even heard a lot of odd names, and like me, wonder what in the world the parent was smoking when they signed that birth certificate. They make good laughs though, right?
I have a good friend (a hilarious blogger) who works as a Labor and Delivery nurse and has met these unfortunately-named babies herself. In fact, cruise on over to her blog if you want to laugh so hard you have to cross your legs to keep from peeing in your pants. (Orrrrr, perhaps that's just me.) She's writing a series right now on 'FAQ to the L&D Nurse.' If you don't mind reading about vaginal discharge, pooping during delivery, and obese pregnant girls that lost Twinkies in their rolls and never knew they were knocked up...then you're in luck because this blog is for you!
In regards to funny names, I thought I'd gather a list of peculiar names of people my friends have personally met. These are great and if you're in the market for a baby name, perhaps these might be the inspiration you were looking for.
First off, sisters named by the same momma...
Rondayvoo (pronounced Rendezvous)
Dayjavoo (pronounced "Deja vu")
Saylavee (pronounced "Se la vie")
Next, a great idea if you're wanting a no-nonsense masculine name for your little boy.
Imaman (pronounced "I'm a man")
This one with the emphasis on the "th" sound, such as "thing."
Shithead
Great if you're wanting to incorporate real creativity:
La-ia (pronounced La dashia)
And the winner in my book...
Abcde (pronounced much like Obesity)

What's the most crazy name you've ever heard?

utensil. i heard a child being called "utensil" by his parents. at whole foods of course.
And I thought Frank Zappa had funny names for his kids. Your entries are the most bizarre I've heard.
My mother-in-law actually had a student in one of her classes in Anderson named Sh*thead, which they pronounced Shy-theed. Nice, huh? That parent has issues, obviously...
I'd say my name is right up there, but I like it!
thanks Carey. I needed a laugh today!
Our friend named his son Cloud - at first we were like, 'huh?!'. But it's funny how now I don't think twice about it - that's just Cloud! :) Love your name too TusaRebecca - I can't imagine you with any other name! :)
Yeah, Anderson is fantastic about creative names. There was a kid on the tennis team there a few years back who was called "AshOOOlee" spelled Ashole.
And my sister when to school with twin boys (i am not making this up) called "lamonjalow and Oranjalow" spelled....wait for it....
lemonjello and orangejello
Came across a funny name of a guy manning a customer service counter today and thought I'd see what the web has to say about this and landed here =). By the way, the guy in question is named Boniface. I once spoke to a salesman named Hony (pronounced Hoe-ny) on the phone. Took every single ounce of self-control to not burst out laughing! lol!
