I couldn’t agree with you more, Rose.

If you just have to use a bizarre name save it for a pet.

We all hear stories of unusual name combinations like an associate of mine named Benjamin Dover. Of course the Benjamin is always shortened to Ben. How could parents do that, lol.

Here’s a true story of a weird name, probably not a childhood name, but one changed later in life but who knows. My daughter and her husband are both in law enforcement, not on the same force but in the same county so they receive all the radio traffic and they heard this transmission. There is one particular traffic officer that makes a lot of stops and is on the radio a lot checking out for the drivers license info and such.

One night he contacted the dispatcher (with everyone else listening of course) to check out the validity of the license for someone he had just pulled over. His voice was completely serious as he always is.

“Officer 431 requesting a drivers license check. First name: Zippity Last Name: Dodah”

The dispatcher came back: “Is the address Bluebird Lane?”

Well I guess it’s a matter of degrees with names. Some are deffinitely worse than others. Talula Does The Hula might just think she has about the worst name in the World until the day she meets Petula Does The Cowboys. It’s all relative.

But I agree with you here. What is up with saddling your child with an odd name? Definitely not thinking in the child’s best interests for reasonable assimilation into the society around them. Who knows the reasons?

I knew someone from high school who accidentally gave her daughter the initials ASS. Another example of a really bad name was when a friend of mine was going to college and her teacher told them all about calling roll in her first grade class. One little girl had the name Shithead, but it was pronounced shi-theed.

What are parents thinking?!

Sorry for the possible double comment here, I realized that I goofed part of it. Long day.
