unwanted names

[horseman12]

First and foremost let me just say this is merely looking at the lighter side to names you would most NOT want to have. and Lilith if this is a bad idea please just pull the thread. I know that we cannot help what our names are considering we did not name ourselves but thier are times when i hear or see a name that i think to myself damn i believe i would change it if it were mine.

My for Instance,,,,,,,Dick Trickle

to me this just does'nt seem like a very positive name

and please let me say i am not making fun of anyones name

[Scarecrow]

Dear world;
What are we coming to, you write a one line statement and a 6 page disclaimer. Oh for shame, for shame.:(

[Stillwater]

poor names for children reflect insensitive parents.. the famous singer fiona apple is supposedly named fiona apple maggot.

lettermen once did a top ten list about unwanted, unusual or humour names, with each individual appearing personally and holding up their license.

i think about changing my name and it's not even dick trickle, perhaps i should wait until it becomes nessicary due to an indiscresion with the spanish mafia :D

[Lilith]

Lillianna Tinklepough????

Okay this one is true...

somewhere in the south... (won't say where) resides my EX brother in law.. (my sis's first husband)... anyway... his name is Richard Head Jr.... Yep... and would you believe that his father actually goes by "Dick Head"... Yeppers..

[BlondeCurlGirl]

Stillwater... her name is Fiona Apple Maggart...not quite maggot! ;)

[BIBI]

Three siblings living in my neigborhood...

Jade Green
Hunter Green
Kelly Green

Then there are the Cockshaft family!

[fzzy]

LOL .... I used to work in a clerical job where I saw literally 10's of thousands of application forms for insurance coverage .... we had a list of names from the files

Harry Ennis (just say it - if you don't get it from looking at it)
Holly Wood
Polly Wog
German French
Frank Tucker (you guessed it ... someone input the name wrong and we got told off BIG time about the obscene mail he had been getting for "Trank F...er" .... LOL)

of course then there are the daughters of the politician in Texas I believe ... Ima Hogg and Ura Hogg

and the guy who invented the Lear jet named one of his daughter's .... Chanda Lear

sometimes amazed at the torture a parent is willing to inflict on a child!!!! LOL

[Booger]

had a sub teacher back when I was in school named Dick seaman

[airhog]

An X-gf of mine wanted to name her 2 kids a name in the city followed by north and shouth dakota


like Bismark north dakota.
and Aberdean south Dakota.

[txgrneyes]

Just to add I know a little boy that his parents named him

Justin Case

kinda cute but....

[scotzoidman]

Then there was an older fellow well known here in town, passed away a few years back, named Harry O. Balls...

[Steph]

Then there are the Donald Donalds - why give the kid the same first and last name.

My pet peeve from my days as a reporter - people love seeing their cute kids in the paper so I took lots of pics of kids but some of the spellings of the names were crazy! When you give your kid a name like Sara but spell it Seareah, the kid's going to waste so much time in her life explaining her name!

[Uncle Silky]

friend uh mine was a counselor at a camp with twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello. then there's Ron Tugnutt.

[FussyPucker]

I know of 3 brothers called:-

Harry Bull
Terry Bull
Ivor Bull

There are some extremely warped parents out there !

[horseman12]

other names~ Buddy Butte,,,,,,pronounced Bute, but?
Harry Ball

[BlondeCurlGirl]

For a short time in high school, I worked at a grocery store...the most common prank call to the store was "Could you page Mr. Seymour Butts?" One night I was working to close, and with nobody in there, we did it just for a good laugh :p

Going back to the double names...my best friend has an ancestor named Evan Evan Evans...there's the triple whammy.

[LixyChick]

OMG! LMAO!

I had heard Ben Dover as the name of a proctologist......Dr. Ben Dover! (in response to IAKG's reply)

Oh......and I actually know a guy named Richard Johnson (least that what he says his name is)

[me_carl]

I know a "Richard Seaman" He stopped letting people call him "Dick" a couple years ago. I wonder what took him so long.

[BlondeCurlGirl]

There are also 2 Dr. Bonebrakes around here...thank goodness they aren't orthopedic surgeons... :o

[incitatus]

Apparently there's a ship in the Navy called "Seymour Johnson".
I do the ol' Beavis and Butthead laugh every time I hear it.

I actually went to school with Mike Hunt.

For the longet time the Inspector General for the United Nations was Sherman Funk.
I know that's not particularly funny... I just wish I had a name that cool.

[Pussy Willow]

When we sold our co-op and moved to Astoria, our lawyer's name
was Goodsell. He and his wife were real estate lawyers. I thought was pretty funny.

[BIBI]

Here in town we have a doctor who is known for performing vasectomies...........Dr. Loveless

Dr. Love is a pediatrition

[BIBI]

This reminds me of when I was a kid and there were a bunch of book titles making the rounds..

"Open Kimona" by Seymore Hare
"Brown Spots on the Wall" by Woo Flung Poo
"Rusty Bedsprings" by I.P. Knightly

[Nobody Special]

I once had a an instructor call Micheal Hunt.... and he went by Mike..........
it was also a Joke in the first Porky's Movie.....

You Know Looking for Mike Hunt......

E

[runt57]

went to school with a girl named Holly Wood. also know of a guy around here named Donald Duck. worked with Rich Topping. know a Ben Blue.

[katekate42]

In a town that I went away in to school, there is a guy my roommate and I ran across in the phonebook by the unfortunate name of Beauregard Shagnasty... I think that one takes the taco...

[MontereyGirl]

I went to grade school with a boy named Ricky Mister. We used to giggle all the time when we would have to address his dad as "Hello Mr. Mister".

[MikeR89]

DO NOT name your boy Benjamin if your last name is Daily -

He will end up being - BJ Daily for the rest of his life!!!

It's maggot if you're from the southern U.S. :p But then you also have words like tar, ie., "My car got a flat tar." And then there's that city up further north... "Chicargo." And that state way over on the coast... "Warshington."

[Lilith]

Here in the south we "irn" (one syllable) our clothes and I hear tell up north they iron them.

[scotzoidman]

Actually it's just tranferance...since they lose the "R's" in areas like Boston, i.e. "pahk the cah", they just turn up in places you don't expect. like in East Tenn. where they "Warsh their hayr", & then "rinch it out"...

[IAKaraokeGirl]

My mom, from western Tennessee, talks about the "crik," "shurrriff," and "an eeench on a ruler."

[horseman12]

And lets not fergit the word "fixin" and that does not mean repair, it means i was fixin to do that!

[Gilly]

On the day our youngest child's birth announcement was in the paper, there was one for a little boy born.

First name Jack, middle name Daniels. With the S. Very deliberate.

And like mentioned above, I also know of someone actually named Justin Case. He was my grandpa's cousin. Dick Trickle is actually the name of a race car driver in the nascar series, though he's definatly more of a local guy around these parts, than national. (I point that out, cause my dad's a huge fan, but when he goes to races with his dick trickle sticker on his bumper, most people have no clue he's even a driver)

[incitatus]

I think "Beauregard Shagnasty" and "Sherman Funk" fall under the category of names that I'd like to have.
I just wouldn't want my last name to be Lipshitz or DeQueer...

One of our teachers in High School, Mr. Titsworth, used to always joke that if he had a daughter he was going to name her Ophelia.

My uncle went to school with Mary Christmas.

[Southern Charm]

I know this is an old thread but I had to throw mine in. I have a friend named Will C. Love. When he introduced himself to me for the first name I will never forget what he said. He shook my hand and said, "Will C. Love: Its not just a name.....its a promise."

[BigBear57]

A teacher friend of mine came back from a conference around Atlanta with a story about a child whose name is spelled Shithead and pronounced Sh - thede. Talk about mindless cruelty.

[White Noise]

I used to know a Dr David David - his nickname, SQUARED

[kgb253]

for LixyChick, here in Australia we a racing driver by the name of Dick Johnson.

But what about initials? My initials are KGB, you should try getting security clearances with those through the 70's and 80's, and thats just Aussie ASIO clearances for the army and to work for the navy after that.
Some of the work needed CIA approval or so I'm told but after the trouble that ASIO had for excessive security clearances using totally bogus excuses they went through in no time at all.

At my high school there was a student named Justin Justin, at one stage, five different Steven Kings, and in my year level, two different Michael Brights.

[WildIrish]

I was talking to someone just yesterday about Bruce Cockburn. Is there really a good first name when your last name is Cockburn?

[Steph]

But his name is pronounce [CO-burn] if that helps!

[lakritze]

I don't know about all of this child naming business,after all Moon Unit and Dwiezel Zappa turned out alright.Did you know that Ben Dover has a sister Eilene? Justin Case almost became my on line moniker.Darth Vador's wife's name is Ella.Seymour Butts of Under The Bleachers fame grew up to be a famous porn director.:moon:

[ShadowDancer]

I went to school with a couple of kids(a brother & sister) named Tim & Alicia Dick...rumor had it their dad's name was Harry.

Also, I do clerical work, and the stores we deal with sometimes like to be comical...one name that shows up QUITE often is: Haywood Jablowme

[SuzyQ]

There is a family named Outhouse near here...

[SuccubusKitty]

Have a car dealer here who's name is Dick Witham. Would you buy your car from Dick Witham ford?

[rockintime]

This is for real, folks. I'm making nothing up...

I know of a guy named Harry Butts.

He and his wife have a lot of children and we used to say they had a lot of little Butts. But the kids have now grown bigger...or as some would say (of course, NEVER ME :D)--->There's a family with a lot of big Butts.

[Sugarsprinkles]

On the local sports-talk radio station back in Detroit, they used to do commercials for a company, the business escapes me right now. But the name of the man they always said to ask for was Harry Glanz. Can you imagine, first of all having that for a name, and then even worse having it blasted all over the airwaves every day???

[HarleyRider6769]

There was a Furniture store near where I grew up , It was owned by I.P. Rainwater . Now there is also a Blue Ball Pa. and there Is a Dr. Payne and a Dr.Curtins here also
