While I was looking for my bad baby pic for the picture association thread, I found this. www.slangcity.com/b_b_name.htmIt reminded me of a guy I used to know, Richard Wythers. He had a rough time in school from what he told me. What were his parents thinking?

lol...we had a congressman from NH named Dick Sweat...and he didn't even go by Richard...My sister knew an actress in College name Chrystal Chandal Lear, and my wife's Claranet teacher's hubby was Seymore Butts...

Isn't Harry Peters the adult rip off of Harry Potter?

Several years ago I had a customer sign up for a service that transmitted the account information and installation via internet. The rep on the other end kicked out the order because they thought it was a joke. The customer's last name was Boob.

Back when I was a young lass in x-ray school, a woman named her newborn daughter U-R-I-N-E, pronounced You-reen. She saw it in a magazine and thought it sounded pretty.
Sigh...I can just imagine what the other kids called her when she got old enough to go to school.
Then there was the young man whose mother named him Shithead, pronounced shith-aid. LOL!
There are a lot of unusual names we come across while working in the medical field.

I one heard of a boy named Sue...oh wait, that was a song. I wonder if Shithead and Urine were cousins or something.

Urine? Parents should be sued for cruel and unusual punishment.
Had to read this text for a history class at one point. It was about homesexuality and sodomy in the 19th century I think. Anyway, the author's name was Harry Cocks. So wrong, just so very very wrong.

It may have been Cox.

While Googling Harry Cox(that sounds odd) I found this,"Teresa Duncan Weds Harry Cox Jr. - New York Times".
Will her name be Teresa Duncan-Cox? It's bad enough he was named Harry cox, but he is also a junior so that means there is a Harry Cox senior.
If they have a boy, will they continue the tradition and name him Harry Cox the third or will he be Harry Duncan-Cox?

No it was actually Harry Cocks...If you google him, you'll get his webpage at the university where he teaches. Seriously though...Why would you insist on calling your son "Harry" if the poor guy's last name is already Cocks or Cox? Then add "Jr" and "Sr"....ouch.

These people named their kid "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii" and got her taken away! I just heard that judges are starting to deny parents the right to name their babies ridiculous things. At least on the birth certificates. Check out this article about it. What’s in a Baby Name? Ask Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii* Last week, the Associated Press and others reported on a New Zealand court case in which a couple temporarily lost custody of their 9-year-old daughter for naming her Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.
Though it strikes me the girl could have just gone with plain Talula and not used the rest, her lawyer reportedly told the court the girl had told friends her name was “K” to avoid mockery and teasing. At any rate, the former T.D.T.H.F.H. has a new, undisclosed name and is back with her apparently quite silly parents. *Click the title to read the full article (What? They waited until she was 9 years old to take her away?)
