classmates

[bohemianvegan.livejournal.com]

I had some classmates with some names that were unusual. For some, I don't know what their parents were thinking!
My first crush was a guy named Olin Blodgett. I also went to school with a John Lovely who was a short, fat kid with zits and mullet who liked to pick fights with people. Then there were sisters named Lenchen (a German form of Helen) and Kama. Then there were Hollis, Venus, Kami, Hollie-Beth, etc. University brought up some more interesting ones: Antigone, Christelle, Petal, Dagmar (Dasha), Manouschka, Kettiuska, Myntha, Silver, Darwin...

A girl I knew named her daughter Cedar.

I thought "Manouschka" said "Mousaka" at first. I once knew a girl named Kettiuska.
I think most of those names are pretty bad. Kami is ok.

Yeah. I like Silver the best, the rest I would never use.

Christelle is a rather common french name, it's a variant of Christina.
Then there's Christel in German.
Venus and Silver are interesting, but it kinda takes guts to name your kids that.

Silver is unusual. My mother works in a nursing home and had a patient named Silver. She was born on her parent's 25th wedding anniversary.
I don't like Venus at all.

John Lovely probably tried to pick fights because of his name.

He probably did. I would change my name if I were him. There were two guys at my school that did. One wanted to get rid of his grandfather's name, another didn't like his father.

yeah i know someone who changed there name because he didn't have a good relationship with his dad.

I like Venus, Christelle, Silver, Darwin and even Cedar.
In a I'm-not-naming-my-kid-this-name way though!
