Recommended Posts

I knew a Kandy Kane as well, (can't remember if it was Kane, Cane or Caine).

One of my roommates during my college years was named Mandolin Robin Hood.

I had a teacher named Barbara LaBarbara

My DH's ex FIL is named Harry Balls. Actually Harry is his middle name, his first name is Francis and he didn't like Francis so he called himself Harry Balls...I think I'd go with Frank or Francis or Frankie...

I'm now in neonatology and my colleagues and I have seen some DOOZIES! Twins named Ameriae and Amerion, Norman and Namron, Beautiful and Brianne (imagine being Brianne?), Neveah and Heaven, Brianne and Brianna. I could go on for hours...

When I was is college I worked doing birth certificates and here's the best one I ever had, I've never had anyone top this:

Picture a middle-teens aged mother who really liked the Disney movie Fantasia. Pretty Hot And Tempting was just making it's mark as a catch-phrase, and as I'm sure you may have noticed many African American moms seem to choose names that are mixtures of other family names or favorite things, or names that end in -eisha, -sheia, -ieka, -eika, -nae, -kia, -tay(tae, taye), etc...

Here's the first and middle name:

Phayntaysheia Shedollolorhonda

Yup, that's supposed to be Fantasia. But she didn't know how to spell it and when I wrote it down for her, she didn't think it was interesting enough... WTF?

I want to create a job at the state or national level where I can sit with a HUGE red rubber stamp and deny stupid ass names and stupid spellings that come across my desk...

People name babies, not adults. They just do not think about what happens when the kid grows up and tries to climb a corporate ladder with a name like Blaise or Shithead or Deiontaye.

Anyhoos, back on topic:

I really like Ginger Butler, or Ginger Greer. I looked up a list of pin-up women from the 1910's through the 1970's and Greer or Grier was listed a few times. It evokes that classy sex-kitten image.

I like this post. There is a very funny website called The Institute for Naming Children Humanely which deals with abominations of this sort. You might enjoy looking it up and having a read......

My sister is a midwife and back when she was an RN in labor & delivery, she told me that this one lady had twins and she named them Lemonjello and Orangejello. They were pronounced Le-MON-gel-lo and O-RON-gel-lo. That cracked me up.

I worked with a guynamed Major Wood. The only reason he was hired was because we wanted to see if that was really his name on his licence.

Sorry to make a downer of that story but, it is actually a joke that became kind of an urban legend (like sewer Crocs). It isnt actually true. More of a tall tale...an at its core racist tall tale. Sorry.

Ive heard that one SO many times.

I am NOT calling anyone here a racist. I just want to clear that up.

Anywhoo!

Im loving this Pinup topic! I love the names Trixie Duvall and Ginger Minx. One Halloween I was Mistress Ivana Spanken but, I was a dominatrix.

You mean there's no sewer crocs, lol? I am a little gullible, but all I can tell you is, that is what she told me. It didn't sound like a joke when she said it, ::shrugs shoulders::

I think there was one recorded sewer croc:tongue:.

I didnt know it was a joke either until 3 unrelated/unassociated people told me that their sister/brother/friend had witnessed/heard 1st person about the woman and the names, so it HAD to be true.

Soon after, I got it in an email full of jokes from yet another source. Then months later I saw a comedian tell the joke.

Hehehehe! I looked it up on the net and found an article that said it was an Urban legend name. But, it also said that the Shithead and Male and Female ones were too! Someone else mentioned that they had students named that, so who knows? Anyway, I thought it was quite comical. Here's the link Pregnancy & Parenting: Name News

Ok, I am curious to see what name she decided on.

My stripper name is stupid, it is candy Heaven-Tush. Right now, my tush is anything but heavenly.

There is an old Nascar racer whose name is Dick Trickle. And, my husband works with a man whose name is Harry Crack. Bad Parents...BAD!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
