Bad Names from Real life

[OreoElf]

My mom grew up in the south and there was a rich family by the last name of Hog. Their daughters names were Ima and Yera... Ima Hog. Yera Hog.

I also went to school with a Benjamin Dover... really.

So post up some real life bad names.

[Kyra]

Umm, my grandparents were sick? Out of 5 kids they made a mess of 4 names. Diana Dare, Rocky Action, Flint Rock & Sand Burr...

They wanted their kids to be tough :rolleyes:

I went to school with a girl named Bunny Hop.

Thumbing thru my kids' yearbook I found Jerry McHairy & several others...I'll post those when I have the book in my hand. The first one was just wrong & his parents deserve a whack on the head with a tackhammer.

[SnatchWrangler]

I had a math professor freshman year of highschool named Richard Kuntz. The first day of class he opened with "Yes, it's true, my name is Dick Kuntz, so get your laughs in now." He was in his late 50s atleast, and retired after that year.

We have a family friend who's last name is Dickover. He dropped me and my sister off at Penn Station once when we were younger to meet my father down in DC. When he gave ID to the woman at the ticket window she said "Wow...your last name is Dickover, huh? I bet you got picked on alot as a kid, huh?"

Without missing a beat he replied, "Yeah, until I learned how to fight."

[Skeeter]

How about the old (now retired) Nascar driver Dick Trickle

also love the Lakers GM

Mitch Kupchak - pronounced Cup-check which any guy with a sports background can get a chuckle from.

An ex-boyfriend was father to 3 kids from his ex-wife. Two boys - Moss and Birch, and a daughter named Leaf. I had a fear that I'd get pregnant by him and he'd make me name the kid Fern or Hickory or something.

Yes, actually I think he was... Alabama or something.. they used to be one of the wealthiest "old money" families in the south... no excuse for bad names!

Edited to Add : People should never name their kids after monuments, cities, celebrities, animals, royalty or cars.

Today at the bank I met Princess Lackvit Lackvit being her last name and Princess her first. (Princess Lackwit?)

Ima Hogg's father was a TX governor. While I grew up hearing that there was an Ima Hogg and a Ura Hogg, I think the Ura Hogg was a myth. I have seen art in museums donated by Ima Hogg however.

I guess I should read the whole thread before I post.

Also, my cousin is a school teacher and had a kid one year named Placenta and a kid one year named Limejello.

My uncle was William Williams.

Worst name story I ever heard was told to me by my Aunt Louise, who was a nurse at a small hospital in rural Maryland. Apparently a very poor and illiterate farm woman was brought in when she had trouble giving birth at home, and was delivered of a healty baby girl.

While in the hospital, she heard the word 'vagina' for the first time. She thought it was the prettiest sounding word she had ever heard, and resolved to name her new daughter Vagina.

No clue if she actually did, my aunt just said they went nuts trying to explain to her what a 'vagina' was and how bad it would be for a young girl to be named something like that, especially in the 1950's.

I got a good chuckle out of that... That's one of the funniest things i've heard in a while. Thanks for the tale :)

[AnticorRifling]

Worst name to date for me is a scientist named Som Ting Wong. MY boss about choked the person because he was like "I need your name so I can assign a tech to fix your problem."

Som Ting Wong.

Yes I know there is something wrong, what is your name?

Som Ting Wong.

Yeah I got that what's your name so I can assign a tech to your issue?

etc

etc

For like 10 minutes until finally he just said what's your location?

Gives building number, floor, lab.

Boss goes out there, sees the name plate on the door, comes back and cuts a ticket then he called to apologize. We were all in tears. Hell I still have the ticket on my wall. Som Ting Wong, pc will not connect to lan printers. :cool:

Edit to add Som Ting had very limited english and no one we knew at the time spoke chinese. Hence the long conversation akin to who's on first. Classic stuff.

That made me laugh so hard my cockatoo managed to sneak 4 keys off my keyboard :lol:

I had a daycare provider whos maiden name was Koochie...she got married a.s.a.p.

There was a girl named Precious at my daughters school also...the name makes me shudder & think of all the nasty little poodles I groomed named 'Precious' :barf:

This friend of mine named his daughter Kaylee Kathleen K***wit...I smacked him in the back of his head for that one...What are your initials? KKK? Lovely, NOT.

Her poor sister is Haylee Anna K***wit. So she gets to be HAK...not to mention they aren't twins so why the rhyming names?? Ugh.

The secretary for Upward Bound at my college was Marijuana Pepsicola Jackson, known as Mary, named after her mother's favorite things at her birth.

Surely she changed her name?

That's terrible.
