24. Once saw a wedding notice in which the bride's name was |
|
Cookie Jane.
I had a high school classmate whose name was Rhee Kay.
One of my grad school roommates had a Vietnamese friend who given name was My Dung. However, it is pronounced "Mee Yoong."
Two trendy Japanese names that raise eyebrows among English speakers are Mami (pronounced "Mommy") and Saiko (pronounced "Psycho").

or however you spell the hand cream's name. A girl in my high school who had a child in 10th grade name her daughter after the hand cream.
A high school friend of mine was named Sadonna. I haven't heard or seen that name since.

My great-aunt.
Her father didn't like his father-in-law. The man was always complaining about his "lumbago."...among other things.
So Great Aunt Bay's grandfather said he hoped they would name a child after him....and they did. Sorta...
We called her Aunt Bay. Never Kansas and never Lumbago.

It was my first wife's grandmother's maiden name. It goes good with my last name.
Unfortunately, all his life people have been calling him "Glen".

40. My ex's father was Ambrose |

And his mother was Mabel. Just very old fashioned.
I went to school with a Tamar.
Had I been thinking clearly, I would have named a son and daughter Smegma and Anthrax. I think those are lovely names.

Went to school with girls named Sparkle, Sunshine and Rainbow. There was a boy named Phuc (pronounced the worst possible way) at school too.
The names that worry me most are ones that imply behavior. Don't name your kid Damien or Jesus, okay? Connotations like that aren't fair. Neither is Angel (he isn't one,) Chastity (teen mom,) or Christian (what if he converts?)
