Oh, Dear Lord.
Those poor, poor kids.

[t0xicmadness.livejournal.com]

I hope they legally change their names when they're old enough :(

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I definitely agree.
What was the mother thinking?!
I honestly hope this is an Urban Legend.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

There's an old, old urban legend about kids named Oranjello and Lemonjello. I'd be skeptical about Orangeslice and Lemonslice, too.

[t0xicmadness.livejournal.com]

Thats why I want her to scan it! If its there, I want to see the proof. Because I have a hard time believing anyone would really do that to their child. Not that I dont believe HER, but my gosh.

[neroli.livejournal.com]

My thought as well.

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

it seems that everyone in the fucking world EXCEPT ME knows Orangeslice and Lemonslice.

wtf i'm totally missing out. :(

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

I don't know them either...but my friend's cousin's roommate's boyfriend's aunt's husband does

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... interesting version of the famous Orangejello and Lemonjello siblings.

It's an urban legend that is on name boards all the time. I mean how many people could be out there with these names! They seem to be reported all over the place.

[t0xicmadness.livejournal.com]

Someone else just mentioned that. So I'd like to see if it turns out to be true or not!

maybe their parents are hippies? but still that is mean to do to your child

[t0xicmadness.livejournal.com]

I agree :(
I had never heard of the Urban Legend until I posted here, so I'm kinda hoping its NOT true.

> SOPHOMONY (soap-pom-a-knee)

Especially with that pronunciation, I'm guessing this may be a Khmer name (from Cambodia). There are a lot of Khmer names that begin with "Soph-" (Sopheary, Sophal, Sophany, etc.) and apparently "ph" is pronounced as p rather than f in these names.

I don't know what it means, but judging from the names that contain it, it is probably something like lovely (both in the sense of physically attractive and in the sense of gracious and well-mannered).

[t0xicmadness.livejournal.com]

Thats interesting! I had no idea.

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

Yep, my best friend in eighth grade was named Sopheap.
It was pronounced as a p instead of f.
