My favorite was Aderonte Ronte Ogunmoken... I had to apologize for butchering her name and asked how to pronounce it and she said - Add-er-on-tay Ron-tay O-gun-mo-gun... you know, like Hulk Hogan. I struggled to keep it together.<br /> The other one was this super cute kid - God Golden Harrison, I called his name and asked what name he went by and he went by Goldy. So bizarre. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name/page/2#post-127964 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:34:52 +0000 Meridian 127964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, I love this thread!!

Her older sister's name was Tammy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name/page/2#post-127520 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:41:26 +0000 Colekbl 127520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad grew up with brothers named Doug &amp; Phil Updagrave (totally awkward).<br /> In high school there was a girl that went to a different school named Tequila who went by Toky.<br /> The most unusual name I know is my childhood best friend who was named Uryna (ur-e-nah). Not an unusual word just an unfortunate name for a little girl as even teachers would stumble with it asking Urine, Urine-ah, Uran-uh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name/page/2#post-117854 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 09:36:05 +0000 Andrea 117854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: i know an April, born in April but that is not too bad. the seasons are so funny!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name/page/2#post-117851 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 09:33:08 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 117851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got a few awesome ones. As a camp counsellor, I had a pair of twin brothers named Train and Jet. Potentially fine names on their own, but together? Wow.<br /> Also, my mom's best friend was named Immaculate Conception. I promise, it was on her birth certificate and drivers' license. She went by Imma (ee-ma). Awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name/page/2#post-117722 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 07:55:28 +0000 regberadaisy 117722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @chopsuey119: @Rubies:<br /> hahahaha I grew up in Queens, NY.

One of the other paralegals is named Sunshine. She used to work for a lawyer named Birch. Their voicemail messages ("You've reached Sunshine for Birch...") would crack up their clients- a couple kept laughing in their messages.</p> <p>Also we have a family friend who named his son Chase Danger...seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name#post-117481 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:01:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 117481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I knew a family with the same names. Did you live in California?</p> <p>In my line of work I see some doozies. I wish I could share them with you but HIPPA prevents me from doing so.</p> <p>I live in Utah which doesn't help. Every name is pretty crazy here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name#post-117464 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:54:49 +0000 cupcakemama 117464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Orvis18: First thing I think of when I see Ridge is Bold and the Beautiful! Funny in a really sad way!</p> <p>We have had some Sudanese refugees come through my school and the kids have had unusual names. Can't think of them now but they were words you don't normally have as a name ( like amnesia). That was more a language barrier thing though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name#post-117018 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:03:11 +0000 banana 117018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@arden: OMG!!

I'm totally serious here, not making this up. Three sisters, named:</p> <p>Fiagenagluckus (Fiya-jenna-gluck-us)<br /> Fioraioles (Fi-or-uh- ee-ol-us)<br /> Fianaceanreahnhatch (fiya-nay-see-un-ree-on-hatch)</p> <p>Parents ended up splitting, mom went to a mental institution, dad got custody and let the kids pick new names for themselves, which ended up being really normal and girly names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name#post-116860 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:01:48 +0000 Mrs.Someone 116860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Remembered a few more! I once came across a business card for Gene Poole at a medical facility. Also, there is a slightly famous guy I once worked for named Sterling Ball (son of Ernie Ball, the guitar string guy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name#post-116851 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:58:54 +0000 Rock n Roll 116851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My seventh grade gym teacher's name was Jim Schwartz- I guess he was destined for the job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-anyone-with-a-different-name#post-116836 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:51:09 +0000 banana 116836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I forgot that I knew a guy in high school name Eric Chen and they called him "erection". </p>
