Why Unwed Mothers Under 18 Should Not Have Naming Rights for their Offspring
 

Today as I was taking out the trash, I heard a mom yelling for her son. I don't actually know these people, so I don't know if the thread title is entirely accurate, but given the relative apparent ages of mother and son, I'm reasonably confident of my assumption.

What was mom yelling that prompted me to start a thread?

"Evian!!! Evian!! Get in here NOW."

Of course, this is not the end of the story.

The yelling was unsuccessful, so mom had to resort to the standby method of getting her skateboarding house ape to come in for dinner ... she called his cellphone.

And I learned that he was not being called in for dinner, as he explained to his playmate ... "Damn bitch can't let me alone. She say I not done my homework. She go on the computer and see it ain't there."

Over the last few months I've also seen a couple examples of this at the nuthouse. I had a "Gazinna" and a "Latrina" on the unit at the same time. What were their parents thinking? Yes, the two names make a sentence. Isn't that just cute?

ok, jinx's sister knew a girl that named her child Placenta. yup. Heard it in the hospital, and like the sound of it. uh huh.

I sold a car to a girl named Latrina. (back when i was selling cars :) )

I particularly like the cave man diction the boy used. stands to reason, I suppose. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Let's not forget the little geniuses we meet, though. My only hope is that, since the stupid breed faster, that the smart ones will have enough positive impact to offset a sufficient ratio of the dumb ones, thereby at least maintaining our already scary national character. or i could just be high.

As my mother-in-law would say with disdain, "Mmm mmm mmm! Homemade names!"

Kawana, Lakwanda, Shanikwa, Latika...

It's a faux african thing, you wouldn't understand. :)

Whew! This only makes me grin and say, "Better her than me!" :p

And also: "Hmph! I ain't neva heard of such!" ~Mom~ :D

I got an e-mail today from a girl named "Cysta." It appears her parents were fond of large, non-malignant growths on the human body.

I've always been fond of the (apocryphal?) Oranjello and Lemonjello (accent on second syllable).

One of the major insurance companies moved their mental health call center operations from somewhere in the Midwest (Wisconsin or Minnesota, I believe) to just outside of Baltimore.

I used to speak with middle aged women with names like "Ann" and "Marge."

I now find myself having to ask, is that LaTika with a "k" or a "q"? Two "e's" and a "qu". Okay, thanks.

I always thought Utah Mormons came up with the best names.

Crap - can't get it to work for some reason. I swear it looks right when I put it in there...

Link's broken (you have an extra http:// in there ...)

Site is very interesting. There are some odd ones in there ... "Nighttrain?" Who names their kids after nasty wino-level booze?

Thanks.

I like
Aquanetta :lol2:

My personal favorites from that list are Bucket, Dwodger and Beefea. Nice!

They didn't...they named that kid after a song by James Brown :D

I've got a cousin named Loquacious. And boy did she ever grow into her name...

There is or was a girl named "Abcde".
