My parents named my sister Marguerite (nickname: Gretchen), then my brother Hansel. My sister used to get so mad when people would call her "Gretel". Not only that, but they bought my brother lederhosen, and put Gretchen's hair in braids daily! They lived through it, and now live thousands of miles apart.

I also know a family where they had a daughter named Christina, then when they had twins, they named them Christian and Christine. They also have a daughter named. . . you guessed it! . . . Vesper!

Possibly the worst name was that of my high school principle... Jackson Goff, yup that is right Jack Goff!
Or there is my friend who's daughters name is Lily and her sisters kids names Leif and Autum

I went to school with a girl named Rose Theresa, and her sister, Theresa Theresa, who used to title her math papers Theresa squared (only she'd put the little numeral 2). Her nickname? Tootie. (Get it? Two T) Was she the inspiration for the boarding school character on TV? The world may never know!

Those poor children will only and forever, in school anyway (and perhaps beyond), be known as "Kaspar the friendly ghost" and "Vesper the motorscooter". Parents who give their children oddball names are selfish, hoping to draw attention to themselves every single day of their childrens' existence. I went to school with a Donald Duckley. His parents laughed heartily every time someone made a joke about it, while poor Donald died a quiet death every time the laughing started.

I went to school with a kid named Grady O'Grady, and another named Fernando Fernandez. Oh, and a girl named Brooke Lynn Bridge. And a boy named Abraham Lincoln.

What were these parents THINKING?!!!!!

I knew a boy in school named Terrell. Went from 1st-8th with him, never thought his name was funny. Until one day I was telling a story about him and said his full name..........Terrell Bull. Poor kid, he was always in trouble.

My brother went to school with a Richard Head. Yes, of course they all called him Dick Head. When I was a teacher in Atlanta, I had a Nick Head. Great kid though. He was the 8th grade quarterback. But, I also had a female student with the name Chittapong Kaysavong. Her first name was pronounced "shit-upon". To save the poor child, I called EVERY child in that class that year by their LAST name so as to never have to call her Chittapong (Shitupon). Her brother had a strange first name as well but he went by Hank.

Angela, please don't name your son Kaydence. The nicknames will be Kay or Dence (dense). If there is a marching band at his school, every time they mention "cadence", Kaydence will be ridiculed. The kids will be sarcastically marching down the hall saying his name.

and how could I forget all the twins..........Ann and Jan, Lori and Lorne (boy), Kerry and Kelly, and my personal favorite Mona and Lisa.

When I was pregnant with my son, my husband wanted to name him after his dad, so we decided to make his middle name Lee (his dads name). I was dead set on my favorite boys name of all time, Brock. Put them together broccolli!! Needless to say my sons name is Brandon Lee!

My daughter is an elementary school teacher. At the beginning of the school year, she has a list of her students names and makes folders for each one. I was visiting and told her I would write out the names on all of the folders. One girl was given the name Philomina Peruzzi-Williamson (not real name, but close). Her name did not fit on the tab of the folder. I had to add another tab just so her name would fit. These poor students have to go through their whole lives with some of the unfortunate names their parents have given them. Parents, wake up and don't try to be different or unique. Is the hypen absolutely necessary, or is this your ego? This is your child, be proud. My children thank me all the time for their names. They are not unusual, but how can you go wrong with Sarah, Bridget, and James?

My Geometry teacher's name was Les Jakofsky. Of course, the student's all turned it into "Let's Jack Off".

There was a guy in high school named Jack Frost. Super nice guy, but damn, were his parents HIGH when they named him?!!!

I have a dilemma that I am hoping someone on here can help me with. I am pregnant with my first child. We do not know the gender and will not find out until the birth, but at the rate we are going there will be an argument in the delivery room. We have settled on a girl name (Lillie Grace) But for the boy my husband insists on naming him after him, now that's not what bugs me. My husbands name is Richard Scott. He goes by Richard therefore calling the child that is out of the question. I hate the nicknames Richie or Jrm and I had a previous Awful relationship with a guy named Scott. I don't want to think of him everytime someone says my child's name. I tried to get him to compromise with the same first name but different middle and he refused. What to do???
