Don't know if any of you have seen this blog before, but this particular one on
naming your kids stupid names
amused me and I thought I'd share.

Thanks for that! My mom and I just had a good laugh. Anything to keep us awake at this point!

Wow, I couldn't stop laughing. Consider my mind blown.
The worst name I've heard was Richard Badcock, and of course they called him Dick Badcock.
Oh and I just remembered Mr. Mohammed Lester, and of course they called him Mo Lester.

Yeah... I'm willing to believe that a lot of them are true, no matter how bizarre, but some of them MUST be fake. The sheer number of girls named things like Tyranny, Travesty, Anomaly, etc. makes me suspicious. How many can there actually be?

Oh yeah. I got to a point where I figured some of these were urban legends, especially when it was somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody.

True or not, that was funny.
Holden Hiscock is really bad, probably because it could actually be true.

Crazy! I don't know if it would be weirder if there were two people named "orally" in the world or if we actually knew the same person.

I think there's an old song from the 1800s or early 1900s that is about Ora Lee, so I guess it wouldn't be totally unheard of.

Never mind, I just looked it up. It's Aura Lee, but same pronunciation. From the Civil War era, same tune as Elvis' "Love Me Tender."
