I work at Wendy's (omg, don't tease me) and I served a woman with a baby today. In the spirit of being nice and all that, I gushed about how cute she was and asked her name.

Her name? Tequila Sunrise.

It gets worse.

She decided to spell it out for me.

T'Kilah Sunnrize.

Apparently, she went into labour while at a cocktail party and decided it was an appropriate name. :\

WDYT?

omg :(

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

i know, i know. ):

[comicstar.livejournal.com]

oh dear god. did the baby show signs of foetal alcohol syndrome?

...did the mother?

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

I didn't have the guts to ask if she was drinking, but I don't think so. xP

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

Aw, that poor baby!

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

She seemed pretty happy. :P It'll be good though, if she turns out to be like
a bartender or something.

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

Hopefully she just won't turn into an alcoholic when she gets older though!

"Hi, my name's T'Kilah Sunnrize and I've been an alcoholic for 5 years."

[peytonlee.livejournal.com]

It will be worse if she becomes one as a child. "Hi, my name's T'Kilah Sunnrize and I've been an alcoholic since i was 5"

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

It does sort of, and it would be better like that.
Unfortunately, she pronounced it clearly tah-KEE-la.
):

[surrealkiller.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what I thought...

[the-questess.livejournal.com]

Poor kid's doomed to being teased in grade school, AND beyond by people who know the drink and think it's funny. Eventually people might start to think the name is amusing rather than something to tease about... but I think the poor kid is in for a lifetime of name comments.
As for the spelling.... doomed to have her name misspelled for the rest of her life.

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

Maybe people will be so shocked that her name is T'Kilah Sunnrize that they'll leave her enough time to slip in the spelling..?

[satunian.livejournal.com]

eww. 0 class. On mommy's part... poor kid. I hope she changes it.

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

That would be a story to tell! "You know, up until I was 18, my name was T'Kilah Sunnrize!"

[shortbutfast.livejournal.com]

lolz. the extra speccchhhual spelling makes it so much worse. i still like that old movie, though. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096244/

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

haha i've never seen the movie, but hey the kid could always say that she was named after that instead of the highly alcoholic mexican drink?

[princess-natty.livejournal.com]

Wow poor kid. Its bad enough to be tequila sunrise, but to then make such a ghetto-ized spelled version of it?? I think I would rather stick to the proper way of spelling if I had to stay with that name jeezus.. poor lil kid.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Woah. That's so bad!
Besides, when I see T'Kilah, I want to say Tee-Kai-lah...

[spikes-sexkitty.livejournal.com]

lol, reminds me of this comedian i saw once.. and he did substitute teaching PT... and said he said he thought the kids were playing pranks on him, b/c of all the weird ass names.

in one bit, he goes: "ok... now i KNOW this is fake. Escalade?!"
adn in a little girl's voice w/ attitude he goes: "ACTUALLY, it's Es-cuh-LAH-day."

he does another effed up name or two, before he yells: "ALRIGHT, those of y'all whos parents named you after vehicled they'll never afford, right side! normal names in the middle! and the rest of y'all whos parents were effed up on god knows what when they names you, left side!"

lol. "Tuh-KEE-la" or "tee-Kai-la"... it's bad all the way around...

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Hahah! Who knows, maybe that T'Kilah lady will call her next kid Escalade...or Eskyladay....;)

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

somehow i think it'd be so much worse if you had to say
"Oh no, it's said tah-KEE-lah. You know. Like the drink."

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Apparently, she went into labour while at a cocktail party and decided it was an appropriate name.

One sentence can say so much.

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

My basic reaction to that was;
"Oh... that's cute." :|

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Hahahah. Gotta love those awkward customer moments. When people come in with their children, they usually set them up on the counter, and the kid turns and stares at me, so I feel the need to comment on how cute they are, even if they're really, really...uncute. I usually ask their names, too. If it's really bad, all I can usually think of it, "Awww, that's nice." It probably sounds really, really fake.

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

I know! I'm always like
"Oh my God, she's so adorable! Now, was that a large, regular or small?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/chikoli_/]

I think I would just go by Sunnrize.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD.

[spikes-sexkitty.livejournal.com]

*squuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!* i love your icon!!!!

yeah for buffyness!!!!

dopplegangland was the episode if my obssesive memory serves me right... lol.

but the best willow line in that whole episode was: "It's really nice that you guys missed me. Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?!?"

i giggle everytime. :)

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

My favorite is this line (see icon), although that one's fun, too:)

[xo-inthered.livejournal.com]

"I think I'm kinda gay"
LOVELOVELOVE.

[traezer.livejournal.com]

BARF!

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I were the little girl, I'd go by Sunny.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

same

[megumi-nagase.livejournal.com]

OMG... that's just horrible -__-

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I would say my name was Tia or Sunny.

Maybe she'll join a soro and love her name. She'll be infamous for letting people do shots off her bellybutton at Florida State or something.

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

I feel sick just looking at that name :/

[anaphylexis.livejournal.com]

Call Child Protective Services becasue that shit is cruelty to a child.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA. Worst name ever. I thought working with a little girl name "Kahlua" was bad, but T'Kilah Sunnrize takes the cake. (Or takes the tequila?)

[turtle-dove-1.livejournal.com]

sick.

[xo-inthered.livejournal.com]

Uhm.
Oh my.
Just...
ew.

[mahalia-baby.livejournal.com]

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
