Is it me or are these kids' names getting weirder every year?

[Usmccookie]

A name that comes to mind.
Jediah isaac savage
Aka: Jed I. Savage
Yes we were drinking, yes it took his wife the entire pregnancy to come to terms with the name.

 

[Clay Pigeon]

Rector?









Damn near killed her.

Dads name was Rocky, he would have liked that...lol

Damn near killed her.

Bingo ! And that was his name.

 

[ATOMonkey]

My wife has a kid named Kale in her class...like the leafy green stuff.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

My mom's middle name is Unum (born in 1922). She was named in part after her aunt... Pluribus Unum. I remember great aunt "Plurry".

My high school principal's name was James Head. We tended to refer to him as "Richard" though.

 

[eldirector]

I literally went to school with someone named Richard Head. HS kids are relentless. Kinda surprised he didn't beat the tar out of someone.

 

[jinks]

A local fireman named his daughter Aerial and his son Quint (types of fire trucks).

 

[amboy49]

Have a friend who’s name is Richard Holder. Why do parents do this ?

 

[Tactically Fat]

I have an inlaw who is OBSESSED with both Disney and the old show Gilmore Girls.

They have a Lorelai (G.G. reference), Belle (Disney), Dean (a family name on dad's side), and now newborn fraternal twins Aurora (will go by Rory - so covers both Disney & G. G.) and Colton.

 

[JettaKnight]

Why is the last name Fischer? Is she just so fabulously famous that she couldn't take the father's name, but it's okay for the kid? Yes I am old fashioned.

(A) Because she made her name (in)famous long before meeting him.
(B) Lots of women have stage names, so her legal could be Fischer.
(C) She's a feminist.
(D) If she was married to me, I wouldn't want her running my surname through the mud.

Kathy Lee Giffords is one of the few that comes to mind that changed her stage name, but that may be to get rid of the name Johnson.

Odd, didn't that name fall out of favor about the time of the GG?

I have no earthly idea!

I had a shop teacher in Junior High named Harold Deal. He wasn't very big though.

Many years ago I saw a neurologist named Peter Dyck. If I remember right, at the time he was Dr Peter Dyck III. Family tradition?

Met one guy whose last name was "O". That's it, just "O". Later we were joking about what he should name his kids - stuff like "Ramb" and Bimb".

Here are some recently encountered names: "Secretia" and "T-A" (pronounced tadasha)

"The dash don't be silent"

My orthopedic surgeon’s last name is Badman. He has a scalpel.

 

[patience0830]

Went to school with Peter Dickey. Worked with a guy who swore he went to H/S with a girl named Ophelia Dickey.
Knew a gal named Holly Berry.

My father was Ferris Harmon Parker, Jr. I'm lucky I wasn't a III.
I used to know a Penny Candy.

I know a gal named Cathy Paradise.
Dad's adopted Aunts were Nevi, Buelah, and Goldie.

Mine too!! Brian!! He is doing my new ball and socket hopefully in 2020.
I used to use Dr. Payne for epidurals.

 

[nonobaddog]

I used to know an anesthesiologist named Ted Nugent.

 

[Hatin Since 87]

I used to know an anesthesiologist named Ted Nugent.

I’m already nervous about my upcoming surgery. That wouldn’t help

If he refers to himself as the whackmaster you may want to find someone else.
