odd names

[jenbugafer.livejournal.com]

A high school buddy of mine fathered a little boy. They named him Asswipe (pronounced AS - WEEP- A)

THAT is something Id not do...even though I use not too often heard names...

I call bullshit.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

I second.

[washironfucketc.livejournal.com]

Isn't there some sort of law dealing with this? I swore there was but my googling skills are apparently crippled.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

No way in the USA! :) Who knows...but I hope not. Seems like SOMEONE could have said something.

I thought it was BS too when he told me that his GF had allowed it.

I asked her, and she said it was true. She also added that once she read the spelling she flipped out and went to the court house to submit name change paperwork. (She was on lots of pain meds after her Csection and didnt pay attention when signing the paperwork he had filled out for their sons birth cert. )

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Glad to hear they changed it then.

Third.

I have heard of Female (Fee-mal-ee) and Placenta, but not asswipe. If this is true, shame on him.
I have also heard of Justin Tyme and a child with the middle name of Sex- a student my friend has in an inner-city school.

Who knows?

My aunt, an obstetrician, delivered a baby named Placenta. I was pretty horrified.

When we lived in California in the late 80's, my said that several nurses said it was pretty common for non-english speakers to think that the hospital had taken the liberty of naming there baby female or male, or even baby boy or baby girl

Thinking Troll...

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Nm, not a troll. I'm kinda disappointed, I'd rather go back to believing NO ONE would name a child that. I mean, holy shit. :(

[mmmrorschach.livejournal.com]

Damn it. You mean it's taken?

I feel sorry for the kid. And I wonder if the parents should actually be parents if they name their kid something so ridiculous like that.

A friend of the family's daughter showed me a year book of her school. There is a girl in her school named Seksika- SEX-ika. I think of how my step-father refused to let my mother name my brother Tucker because it rhymes with f-er, and then take a look at that poor girl.

Some people really shouldn't be naming children.

And I know that there is a law against this in Germany. Don't think there's one in the states.

Is your friend a character played by Nicolas Cage in a Saturday Night Live sketch? ;)

The script for the sketch in question (http://snltranscripts.jt.org/92/92ababynames.phtml)

[desert-dog79.livejournal.com]

LOL I was thinking of that same sketch when I read this post!

[mmmrorschach.livejournal.com]

That's a perfectly cromulent name. Thumbs up.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I know a mom who named her daughter Placenta, except she spelled it Plakenta, but still pronounced the same way. When she told me, I just stared at her in shock.
I still feel bad for that kid...

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

This has to be a lie. In the U.S., that name would not be accepted by the state department of health.

[emilyintheglass.livejournal.com]

Sounds like she made a great choice in men.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

urban myth. same one as shithead (shih-THEE-ed), female (feh-MAH-lee), lemonjello, oranjello, etc.

[starski.livejournal.com]

I know someone named Shithead. =/

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

^ Hopefully it is an urban myth indeed. Asswipe is terrible! And I thought Anush for a girl was bad...
