One of my best friends has some cousins named Cotton, Pootie, and Butter. Is that bad or what?

What are the worst names you have heard?
My aunt met some lady who named her daughter Formica Dinette because she gave birth on a kitchen table.
Then, my cousin knew these two twin guys named Lemonjello and Oranjello. Like lemon Jell-O and orange Jell-O.
Outlandish.

the worst i heard was Pajama but it was pronounced like Pahyama or something. UGH.

Ba hahah that is a silly name. I guess they were doing like the Polish and pronouncing j's with a y sound.

Yep, the jello kids show up on Snopes

hahah that's funny! My cousin was very convincing in her story. Maybe she was just trying to trump my aunt's.

Lemon Jell-O and Orange Jell-O are urban legends, but there was a pro athlete (baseball? football? I can't remember, Atlanta Astros maybe?) whose middle name was Lemonjello, I think pronounce lehMONjelo, rhymes with Angelo.

everyone seems to know the same person who knows Lemonjello and Oranjello.

My daughter's imaginary friend is named A'chennah'ay (unsure of the spelling) but then again... it's an imaginary friend. ;-)

My friend and I used to call each other A'chennah'ay when were were kidding around. It functioned as a replacement for saying such as, "Oh, girl." (We don't do that anymore, just as a note.^_^)

haha that is too funny!!

I always wonder who repeats all these silly urban legends, but then I see them pop up all over the place.

The worst name I've ever seen was a baby girl named E-bone (http://www.growingfamily.com/webnursery/babypage_view.asp?URLID=3H7Q8O4B8J)

My cousin sounded so sincere when she told me the twins were named that. Apparently, she went to school with them and she told my whole family at Christmas and she is 28 years old, so I don't really think she'd get a kick out of telling urban legends and making up a story to go along with it. It is totally possible, though! My family is quite eccentric.

But I fo' sho' know the Cotton, Pootie, and Butter thing is true.

Oh fantastic. Oranjello and Lemonjello haven't been seen in this community for a couple months. I wondered what they were up to.

lol, sorry! I didn't realize those names were a prominent urban legend. My cousin sounded convincing when she told us that story, though. :( I did fall for the gullible is written on the ceiling thing, though.

ESPN, pronounced ESPEN.
After the sports station. *facepalm*

I know a family with Jet, Cleat, Ca$h, and they have one other but I don't remember.

Also, I know an older woman, like 70 or 80 something named Treasure Barfus. Eep!

Cleat--LOL!!!

& Treasure Barfus, that's pretty good. XD

An old man who used to live next door to my grandfather - Les Behan.

lol orangello always reminds me of when my brother was little. For some reason he was saying "red yellow red yellow red yellow" over and over again, really fast, until it blurred into something that sounded like "Rajella" ... then he said "That's what I'm going to call my daughter one day!"

Oh, the poor old man! :(

My husband has uncles called Pigeon and Chicken. I'm FAIRLY sure they are nicknames...but if they are, they're the only names these men go by. Even my husband doesn't know their real names. My mom also wokred in the NICU at a hospital in New Orleans for YEARS. She came across twins...last name Porch, middle names Front and Back. There was also an Alarm Clark (fn, ln) and a Pumpkin Patch (fn, mn.) Oh, and then there was your typical set of twin boys with a motorcycle crazy father...named Harley and Davidson...

lol Front Porch and Back Porch! I love it. Alarm Clark is kind of cute, granted it's bad, but still cute for some reason in my eyes. I am sure there are plenty of twins named Harley and Davidson in my city and surrounding cities.. :/

My brother's first girlfriend's name was Panda Bair. She had a brother named Theodore Bair. Yeah... Teddy Bair. My mom and brother also said they had another sibling who had a terrible name like that too. Probably Grizzly Bair or Koala Bair or something. And I know this is true because when we were waiting in line to get the address changed on my license, my mom whispered "there's Panda Bair's mom!" to me and pointed her out. I told my mom she was crazy looking and my mom was like "oh yeah, I know she is." lol =\

This is the only time I have heard Panda as a name aside from Kimya Dawson (musician) naming her daughter that. It reminds me of a lady my mom works with named Candy Kaine.

I know six sisters whose parents gave them "space names." Keep in mind these are all girls: Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Galaxy.

I also knew two sisters Unicorn and Pegasus, but those were they're middle names, so I guess that isn't too bad. They liked having those middle names and I guess thats what counts.

Uranus would be unfortunate.

XD well, I am glad they liked them. Definitely interesting name choices.

ug. *their I hate it when I do that. I wish you could edit comments.

My dad grew up with the Trail family: Dusty, Prairie, and Rocky.

Prarie XD XD XD Unique.

A "poot" is a fart. Poor Pootie.

I think a poot is the most hilarious thing to call a fart. All other forms and synonyms of fart do not make me giggle, but "poot" does.

I found out that someone I know knew someone named Bagina. Pronounced like Vagina. She was a runaway. I can see why she might run away!

I mean, it had a B sound, but the rest was the same Agina sound.

hahah omg that one wins, I believe.

Logan Rogan and his brother Brogan Grogan Rogan.
