The dumbest guy I knew in college was named Hud, which wasn't funny at all, until we realized what that spelled backwards was. I am not kidding this guy was in school to play football only, and he was STU-PID.

Back in the 70's my parents were in Big Sur and were looking at a house for sale...the couple were very nice and the wife wanted to introduce their daughter so she called for her
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs come here please"
What ever I name my kid, I'm not going to curse it by giving a normal name my own unique spelling. I feel sorry for people that have to spend their entire lives correcting people on how their name is spelled because their parents were trying to by unique.
If you want your kids name to be unique, name it D'Brickashaw.
doesnt only happen with normal name whacky spelling. my name is catherine and still i have to pre empt by saying , thats catherine with a 'c'. cause without fail people automatically, for some reason, spell it wih a 'k'. they dont even ask is that with a 'c' or a 'k' ?
the zoemonster went to school with a boy called slash.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
famous footballers over here called Gary and Phil Neville... you've guessed it... their dad is genuinely called Neville Neville!
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
my kids had a neighbor friend named Adonnis
quite a name to live up to I would imagine!!
... and my ex mum in law tut tutted when i was gonna call my youngest willow or piper. she said you cant name the child after things. by the time she was born i didnt care what she was called so her father named her zoe. and now the ex MIL has a great grand daughter called piper. stubborness runs deep in my family.
hear my name

Had to deal with a customer once...first name was 'Race'...last name 'Carr'

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
when the Original Jets were in Winnipeg, I always thought "wow, how are Tagglie and Eddie always together on the ice". "and Taglianedi take the puck down the ice". I thought it was siamese twin hockey players.

I am also in the school system - its amazing what some parents will name their kids.
none of the names above surprise me at all - I've come across many strange/different names as well.
It should be a felony to give your kid a stupid name and you should at least be written a citation for idiotic spelling of a normal name.
ive often thought(usually when a celebrity or their partner has a child) that there should be a dept of stupid names, where all potential names have to be submitted and vetted for embarassment, ridiculous spelling or just plain stupidity.

Don't even get me started on the spelling of these names!
There should be a bank of names available to use,names that are not ridiculous,nor weirdly spelt or based on celebrity culture,parents cannot deviate from the names,ones that do are heavily fined for stupidity!

I have a Summer Raine in my class right now.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs come here please"
Best part? Their last name was White
Not kidding
I know you're waiting for the punch line, that her sister was named June July, but they hadn't gotten around to another child at that point.

There's also a kid in his school whose name is pronounced "Absidee"....
Without a word of a lie it's spelled...
Abcde

Well, obviously the first parents are dumb as shit. They don't even know what a dash is. It should be pronounced Lapostrophea
The 2nd is just aburd.
I get trying to come up with a name that isn't as common, but is it worth the hassle or ridicule the kids are gonna get their whole life.
Me too ... the parents couldn't come up with another first name? Unbelievable
Don't even get me started on the spelling of these names!
