this is weird

[spikes-sexkitty.livejournal.com]

so i think i've come across the oldest person with a horrific and nauseating 'KREE-8-yve' spelled name ever:

DaLorris.  a 68 year old woman (born in 1940) that comes to our clinic. 

is this the oldest one anyone's come across in person? or is there older?  or, *gasp* was this just the beginning of the ugly trend?

I think that's a surname. Maybe the maidenname of her mother.

kre8tiv names have been around for a looong time.

Is she a black lady? I hope it's not racist to say that they can get away with names that would be thoroughly ridiculous on a white person. They just have different naming norms, I guess. I wouldn't look twice at a black DaLorris, particularly a 68-year-old, but a white DaLorris would totally make me cringe.

My grandpa's middle name is LaDon. He is 86 years old. That is wierd to me.

ok, but if i saw an old man w/ a middle name like that, i'd think "mother's maiden name" or something.

first name of DaLorris (Dolores)??? that's just weird. it doesn't look or read like a last name. when you say it it sounds like Dolores. just spelled horribly. lol.

LaDon is not a maiden name. We have no idea where it came from.

My Oklahoman relatives have names like Haroll (instead of Harold), Eller (female), Alma (female), Dossy (male), and Halta (female). They are as white as can possibly be, these are their first names, and they are all in their 70s. I have no idea where those names came from!
