Who Names Their Child 'Blanket'?

Okay, I'll bite. The assistant principal at my junior high was named Michael Harry Dick. Rumor had it that his wife's name was Anita.

A high school principal in Talladega County had the name Donald Duck. He was named that BEFORE Disney used the name.

Back in the 60s I was a welfare caseworker in Detroit so every day we would come across some unusual African American childrens names. My favorite was Uterus Jones(last name changed for privacy reasons). Then there were the twins Syphyllis and Gonorrhea. And the list goes on.

Back in college, while working in a store that required a driver's license to be shown for credit card purchases, I came across a girl who's real name was Rita Magazine.

I worked with a gal with the last name Stuck, when they were wondering about names for their new boy on the way I suggested Dick Scott Stuck (say it real fast). She wasn't very amused.

My wife, her sisters and her brother all ended up with the initals DDT.

Boss had and sold four losing superbowl rings. They belonged to a former a/v guy for the Denver Bronco's. His name is Rusty Nail, and he did name his daughter Penny.


I also heard but can't verify, one about a woman who had a daughter, and named her Placenta.

My mom was in high school with twins, the Hogg sisters, named Ima and Ura... (I didn't believe it, either, so she hauled out the yearbook, and sure enough... )

I resemble that remark. Unfortunately, a different branch of the family. Hogg is a very common name in Scotland. My branch moved to London.

MY fil's last name was Hind, first name George. That didn't stop his friends from calling him Herbie though.

Many years ago when I worked at a retail store A female customer wrote a check and I checked her drivers license for identity I noticed her first name was Tequila. I guess that was what probably brought on her conception, but I didn't persue the issue. I would have liked to persue her as she was very attractive, but her husband, who was with her, would probably have persued me.

I always wonder why some parents use the obvious bad names. My dad had a friend in high school named Allen Allen. Aparantly they liked the name Allen.

How about the news story from a few months ago. A woman was all ticked off because nobody pronounced her daughter's name right. Her daughter's name is La-a. It is pronounced "La dash a"
