sunshine 2 #26 August 9, 2007 Back when i worked in social services (about 7ish years ago) i dealt with mostly low income, poorly educated families that lived in the housing projects. One of my clients was pregnant and hadn't yet picked out a name for her daughter and ended up going into premature labor. While she was at the hospital she saw a poster on the wall and saw what she thought would make a beautiful name for her baby girl. She named her Syphillis (prounced "Suh Fillis"). ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryan_d_sucks 0 #35 August 10, 2007 My mother has worked in obstetrics delivering epidurals for pregnant women for about 25 years now. Just a year or so ago she had a woman come in who hadn't picked out a name for her baby. She said she wanted to give her a name nobody else had ever had... Apparently she had other kids with ridiculous names like 'Jaquarious,' 'Revelation' and bullshit like that. So as the people in the room were delivering the baby, she heard one of the doctors mention something about the meconium of the infant. Aparently the mother thought this was the most beautiful word she had ever heard and decided to name the baby Meconium Here's what he was referring to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meconium No shit. -Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casurf1978 0 #40 August 10, 2007 Oh I got an even better name and awesome story. Frosh year from Uni I got a second job at a catering company. Long story short we had a booth at a wedding convention. Next to our booth was a company pitching low fat pastries, cakes and chocolate fountains. The attendants name was Precious (she was pushing 250lbs+) and during a break went and bought some fried chicken and would periodically dip it into the liquid chocolate fountain on display and eat it. My boss saw this and wanted to know her story. So at the end of the day starts a conversation with her and we learn that she has a sis who works for the same company and her name is Gorgeous.

SBS 0 #44 August 10, 2007 Hate to break it to you, but our government can do the same. Remember Peekaboo Street, the skier? She was born "Little Girl Street", until the government stepped in and told her hemp loving parents that they couldn't name their child that. Being that she loved Peek-a-boo, which is a very uncommon and special trait for a child, they chose that name. Frankly, I don't have much problem with the government trying to protect a child from idiot parents. I just don't see how "Superman" is any less ridiculous than "4real". It's a kid, not a pet. I also don't think it's that outlandish for it to be said that you can't name your kid a numeral...what's stopping them from spelling it out? It just sounds like they are playing a game, and that doesn't scream "great parent" to me...I feel bad for the kid. -S_____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Thanatos340 1 #46 August 10, 2007 My Great Aunt Had a Housekeeper named "FaMolley". The story behind the name was supposedly the girls mother thought the child had been named by the hospital after her emergency C-Section. The name was on the little armband when they brought the child to her after she came to. The mother couldn’t read or write much and when they came in to fill out the birth certificate, They asked the mother the childs name.. She sounded out the name.. "Female" and it came out FaMolley.

Since there was nothing really close to "Shari," I chose to be called Mercedes. So, yes... Mercedes is a common Spanish name.
