A guy I work with got a phone call from a customer whose name was Pitman Knuckles. Born with it or not, I'd say probably the latter, it was indeed his legal name. Pitman Knuckles.

whoops. looks like lucious pussy was actually spelled 'lucious pusey', but it's pronounced the same.

so far, jenn's post wins for most bizarre... by miles & miles

I think we all know that that kid will be doing Kids Bop! covers of bands like Screwdriver and Prussian Blue. :p


you're obviously a pro at this.

what in the fuck?? is that name even legal? seriously! is it possible to just string a bunch of shit together and have it legally be a name?

if so, I'm having my kid's name changed to Quantum Sonic Moonbase Chicxulub Fourty Two Tacos. SRSLY.

currently, his middle name is Valen. we were reading a baby name book and it said "tyrannical king of the monkeys". although I've never heard of a tyrannical king of the monkeys named Valen, I insisted we go with it.

A friend really wanted me to name my son Harry, so he'd be called Harry Murphy, which he thought sounded like a Japanese person saying Happy Birthday.

Racist.

my brother told me about an article he read in the paper about some people who named their child finchley (it's the name of an area in north london) and how parents from certain sections of society are being encouraged against naming their children after alcoholic drinks.

haha, i always wondered what it sounds like to the non-latins. sounding bad doesnt surprises me.

in portuguese you say it not like in spanish (rwakin) it's more like.. "juakin". it's a very common name here and in spain, so it's not that weird.

i just hope that it doesnt sounds as gay as danny sounds around here hehe. i mean, if i was a drag queen, danny would be on my list. :p

We had a girl at school of Russian extraction, whose first name was Vagina. Apparently one was meant to pronounce it "Vag-ner". Yeah, right...

haha.
i would marry a vagina.

So the story that somebody told me about this hospital in South London that put up signs that warned parents about being careful when giving names to their babies under the influence of alcohol is true. Finchley was voted as one of the most popular names, according to some statistics that were on the Evening Standard.

my last name sucks enough already, but due to the inability of some people to correctly read, it frequently gets butchered even more.

"ei" = long i sound
"ei" does not = long e sound

like....oh mah gawd.

Moon Unit Zappa imo.

I had a neighbour once who's last name was Bröst (swedish for 'breast"). He had two daughters; Inga (common name, means 'nothing' or 'none') and Fina (less common name, means 'fine' or 'nice').

Cedric is a usual french name. Well, my uncle told me he had a friend called "Fedric", because his father was drunk when he had to "reckognize" his son officially, so when they asked his son's name he said "Feeedric".
