People name their kids some of the weirdest names. What are some strange names you have heard or crazy spellings?

I used to work with a girl named Dionysia, pronounced like Denisha. I've got others, I just cant think of them right now! Grrr!!

While I've encountered a lot of really unique names over the years, Engelbert Humperdinck remains pretty near the top of the list.

The name Yepsolani always had me scratching my head!

One of my granddad's brother was called Dionisio (the same name but in Spanish), his daugther was Dionisia:D , no kidding!

My family is full of strange, old Spanish names: Eustaquio, Eusebio, Eustolia, Enriqueta (all starting with an E), Ramiro, Liberada, Ascension...thanks Good I got a very regular name.

I knew a girl who named her two sons Perceval (french for Parsifal) and Lohengrin. She probably loved Wagner.

A TV staion near my home did a story on this once. It got to where some family in Nebraska (I believe) named their daughter "Money" In hopes that some day, they'd win the lottery.

Many years ago, I briefly attended a private boarding school in Tennessee (after three months, I couldn't take it any more. Neither could they.) and they name their kids some weird shit, yo.

Some of my former schoolmates:

Hutch Carter
Sputt Hooper
Forrest Ladd (went by "Frosty")
J. Hill and his brother Moe Hill (*giggle*)
Alton Oschner
Crittendon Curry
John-John Johnson
Byron Loyd
Julian Tune
Houston Johnston
Wilkes Coffey
Minos Fletcher
Perkins Trousdale

I went to school with a guy named Mark Bean. He later married and had a daughter he named LIMA. I believe that would consitute child abuse. lol

I've heard of a Duane Pipe... But I think Marzipan takes the prize for 'John-John Johnson :D

Dick Trickle. He's some sort of NASCAR racing-type guy...

Hehe..those are some strange names! I know a guy that said he went to school with someone named Dodge Bamburger. I went to school with a guy named Lucious, but pronounced with a long u, so it was like Loocious. I also went to school with a Leonidas, but he went by Andy.

And what about common names? I dont mean to offend anyone that may have these names on here, but if I hear another child being named Hailey, Destiny, Madison, or Makenzie, I'm gonna scream!

I have no room to make fun of anyone's name but here's a couple I recently heard that come to mind....

Moey Mutz -- wide receiver for Arizona State University Sundevils

-- and --

Vashe Vuisokoprevoskhoditelstvo -- a old russian name usually reserved for the rich and powerful.

You need to visit this website. (http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/index.html)

I remember a story from a couple of years back about a guy in Cleveland named Al Kaida. He was having a heck of a time making reservations on the phone for anything. Many times the police were dispatched when he tried to reserve a table at a restaurant, or fly somewhere on vacation.

There is a city near me who....upon a quick check of the phone book...registers a man by the name of Peter Cheese.

Hey Lionel, I've seen that site before! The editor is hilarious!
