Some People's Kids :Sheesh!:

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2003-02-22 09:46am

I have met some out and out odd-ball named people, But then I spent a good deal of my child-hood in the South where the avarage person is named after a Sports Hero or a Beer Company

And yes I have met somone named after a breed of Horse(And a famous one at that, think hard and guess)

Personaly I say give them good intimidation sounding names and hope they live up to it(However that hardly ever works as my poor old Korean friend knows, 4'9 just under 130 Pounds... His name? Vladamir)

I guessed it. I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-A-R-T! (Though it appears I can't spell Clidsdale)

Quite clearly neither of you can spell Clydesdale.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2003-02-22 10:05am

Neither can you and I say that only because I know we were both wrong

Oh, you have heard of Female, right?

Pronounced Femahlay.

I saw a name on tv last night... normal name just spelled funky. I'd make an observation about all of this, but then I'd probably be called racist.

I think those kinds of parents are immature. They don't realize that when they name a kid, they'll have that name for the rest of their life, and when they give him or her a dumb name, they'll be ridiculed.

Also, I believe there was one dad who named his kid ESPN (ess-pen).

I also don't know why people keep embarrasing names when tehy can legally change them. If my name was something embarrasing like Dick Hertz or P. Ness, I'd change it the first chance I could get.

Indeed, I think teenage parenting might have something to do with the shit names.

Either that or it's shit for brains in the creativity department...

I found a site a while ago, "The society for naming children humanely" or something. Unfortunately, it wasn't as funny as the name would suggest.

It doesn't take that much to come up with a name for christ sake....I mean, I do alot of roleplaying and such where the name can end up deciding the personality...with oh, about a day's thought...I can come up with as may as twelve names...all quite original and not that open to child 'bashing' These people need to replace the sawdust in their brains.

Well considering that he had a kid....

Why is it that some white trash family thinks it's cool to name a kid "Harley Davidson" (Last Name)? I have met people from all over and they all can recall different trailer brats named Harley Davidson.....

You know, most parents just don't think about when their kids get to school when they're born. They just name them anything they want.

I knw my grandmother did. My grandad's name began with E, and she wanted to give my dad a name beginning with J, with E... as his middle name, but that would have given J.E.L. so she named him E.J.L. Everyone calls him by the J name.

Mark S: LOL

When I was in high school, I volunteered at a nearby elementary school. One of the kids in my 4th grade class was named Holly Wood. I thought her parents were idiots and that they must have known that she'd be made fun of constantly, but I was wrong--no one teased her at all. The reason why is really depressing, though...

Her parents were actually really screwed up and both had died a year earlier when her father shot and killer her mother and then shot and killed himself. She had to move in with her grandmother, and latched on to anyone who'd talk to her, since the other kids in school didn't talk to her at all because they didn't know what to say. Que triste.
