Funny because it's true. And I laugh because I come from Utah Mormon stock.

That's so funny! I do know a family that named all four of their kids by various combinations of mom and dad's first, middle and last names. It is not a kind thing to do.

Ha! Cat and I always felt that there were "some" Utah mormons (not all so no one get their knickers in a knot) that think it's "cool" to give there kids bizarre names. Now here's the proof to back it up! I'd really be interested in knowing what those parents were thinking! weirdface.gif

Then again, one doesn't necessarily have to be from Utah to stick their child with an unusual name.

Jen, we tried all combinations of our first and last names, laughing our heads off. "Mirk" is actually one of the combos. I wonder if Mirkwood would be flattered.

How do you know it's true? Most of those names are so out there as to be unbelievable. I mean, "blondeen"? Come on.

Try googling Blondeen. I hit a couple of real people with that name. There are dreadful names in there, but they seem to be mostly real. (Is it really wrong that I submitted both of my parents' names? laughing.gif I'll be watching to see if they get added.)

I am so grateful that my parents gave me a normal name.

Yeah, why don't you just name your baby after a latrine? You know, as in "ravine latrine".
Looking over some of those names tells me some parents need to get their heads examined.


But then, I don't know... I think JaKnifey has a nice ring to it Janey. laughing.gif

Hmmm, JaKnifey, which could be pronounced Jennafee. idea.gif  Not too bad sounding actually. wink.gif   If nothing else she might end up with that as an alias on Nauvoo.

Of course the fun part would be explaining the origination of the name to our families.biggrin rofl.gif

I know some people who nicknamed their child Rayray when she was little. Ray was her middle name.

Not only that but it's just lazy to give a kid a name like that. If it wasn't Utah, I'd blame alcoholism for some of those names.

Go ahead and blame alcoholism for some of them. I have alcoholic cousins there. It still happens.

Mostly, though, blame weird culture. biggrin.gifsprint.gif

Weird names aren't restricted to Utah mormons. You'd be surprised how many people name their kids some variation of ESPN.

If I had married a different person that proposed to me about 6 months before I met hubby... who I seriously considered marrying... (though I never realized what my initials would have been until much later, I am not that much of a football fan...) those would have been my initials too.

My daughter's initials are MOW... which are the same backwards-upside down... wink.gif

When I was a kid, I wanted to have six daughters and name them Rose, Posy, Lily, Violet, Daisy and Iris. Maybe that's why I've got a son instead.

Imagine being named Posey. That name is just rife with mockability.

Somewhere in Utah, someone is naming their baby, Mockee.

 I'd sooner name a baby that than "Latrina". Although I don't consider either one an appropriate baby name.

Whenever I run into one of those weird names, I wish I could have met their parents before they got pregnant and told them, "if you don't like kids don't have them".

My sister tells the story about this conversation she observed at work:

Expectant mother: We're thinking of naming her Cinnamon.
Former friend: Are you going to give her pole dancing lessons?

Reportedly, the child was not named Cinnamon after all.

It's called Name abuse. Simple and clear. The punishment should be death by papercuts and lemon juice.

Cinnamon was the name of the female spy in the first few seasons of Mission: Impossible. I don't remember her doing any pole dancing on the show.

Cinamon (IMHO) is a name you would give to your dog. Or your cat.

We get our share of wierd here as well.

Did you know they now have a LAW against that sort of thing in China? I never realized you could legislate against stupidity and the future bullying that your offspring would endure.
