As long as we're discussing names . . .

Okey dokey.

Arrested a 30 year old female today named Stepileen Marlece "Normal last name"

WTF?!

"Name?"

"My posse calls me Big D"

"What name does your mamma call down the basement stairs when it's time for supper?"

"Gerald"

Have a lady at work named Tawaii, yes Hawaii but with a T.

clever no?

Here's a different twist on names.

I'm in Indian Territory. People have last names such as Horse Thief, Many Goats, Mankiller, the list goes on.

I mean, really, it's like a Boy Named Sue if your last name is Horse Thief. If that's you, you must have have both traits of ready to kick ass or be good natured, depending on the situation of the day. Or hour.

I recall maybe 12-15 years of some unfortunate kid in Florida being named His Royal Highness. WTF?

Time to lawyer up and ask the judge to change it to Smith, or Jones, or something else.

Two Dogs Fucking?

I've mentioned in the past someone I know claiming to have met an Ikentina Turner (or some spelling of same). I always wondered if it was true so one day I did a Google search and found that it was not only true, but a fairly common name.


Hate to bring race in but... yesterday I was in a store and saw a young white woman calling constantly to her young, dark skinned young son who was running around wild in the place. She kept calling... "Carmelo!" I assume named after the trouble NY Nicks basketball player Carmelo Anthony. I thought "Who names their kid after a basketball player and one who's an ass at that?" I went "Oh yeah." Thinking of another asshole piece of shit I work with who did the same thing. (the county took the kids away several years ago. In the long run it will probably be better for the kid, but he's still stuck with this odd, stupid ghetto name that only brings to mind a past NBA player most known for being an asshole and having problems)

May I stretch this to include our Native American friends? We were sitting at a traffic light in New Mexico. The light turned green, and not seeing any cars moving from the side we started across the intersection. We were half way across the intersection when I heard screeching tires and our car was struck in the right side. The kids in the back seat were thrown around. The driver who struck our car was a Native American bearing the name Buffalo Whitekiller. He said he had no insurance but gave us his address and said he would pay. When I went to collect his boss said he had left and returned to Oklahoma.

While working security at a large Midwest theme park in the early1980's, I was called by the Lost Parents center. The girl working said please talk to this little boy and tell me you hear what I did. Little black child, maybe 4. I asked him his name, he said Hideous. I told the girl, when his parents show up, call me. I went back and met them, asked them to confirm his name, they spelled it out for me, and it was indeed Hideous.

The only real ones I know which are notable are a guy named Karate (probably 50 now), and a woman whose whole first name is (hyphens added by me): "ta-ta-tata-taneesha-ushaun-sheriee", whose friends just call her "Ree" (she's late 50s or older now).

I remember reading several years ago about some hospital maternity ward where the nursing staff routinely named new borns.

They came up with the absolutely most ridiculous names one could imagine. And they were "inventing" the names.

The one I found most "impressive" was a name they hung on a new born girl. "Gonorrhea"

I kid you not.

They pronounced it Go-NOR-eah.

The other night we had a first name of God check in. Not too much later a Jesus checked in.

It's nice that they're keeping it in the family.

I think he's a member here now.

I think my favorite name for a woman would be "Falopia".

I kind of lean towards "Dementia". Pretty much guarantees she'll be hot.

Nosmo King

I would point out that someone named Carmelo Anthony with that name before he made it a celebrity name. And it isn't nearly as ghetto fabulous as many others.

It's past midnight, my wife is calling me to bed, but I had to finish page 4. Thank you.

I met a young lady today, of Hispanic appearance, her first name is America.

Really.

She's a hard worker in a doctors office, I respect that immensely.
