I also taught a Treasure Hunt (weird, and not even original) as well as a Cosmo Zen.</p> <p>Growing up in a hippie town, I knew a Rainy Day and a Amber Sunrise (sunrise was her middle name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-249084 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 22:10:34 +0000 eeh 249084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a regular customer years ago named Michael Hunt who went by Mike... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-249062 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 21:38:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 249062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is so sad!! lol</p> <p>I worked at Subway and ID'ed people a lot. One guy's given name was Monster, and another was Hilarious - he went by Larry.</p> <p>My dad worked with a guy whose last name was Hunt and his daughters were Easter Egg and Treasure. Poor girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-249042 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 21:07:49 +0000 sunny 249042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of these names make me wonder if people just hate their kids! I once met a woman named Eriola, pronounced like Areola the body part. She gets a pass tho because she was born in a foreign country, but if it were me I think I might go by another name if I moved somewhere where my name meant something odd/weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-249022 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:43:01 +0000 HabesBabe 249022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend is married to Brady Bunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-249011 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:35:03 +0000 PrincessBaby 249011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work in Marketing for a casino in their corporate HQ, and was in charge of compiling/designing the monthly employee newsletter. Apparently we had someone that worked as a cashier on the boat (casino) named Felony Johnston. I actually doublechecked it with HR.</p> <p>Yep. It was Felony. Her mom decided to just put a fun spin on Melony/Melonie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-249004 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:31:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 249004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness - how horrible. All these names.<br /> I remember I had to call out a client (customer service) and her last name was kunt. NO JOKE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-249001 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:29:45 +0000 mrs.earrings 249001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a Professor Dick Love at the university I go to. He teaches my brother engineering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248973 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:46:43 +0000 CarrieLouWho 248973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the Sunday paper today, they had the baby announcement section and there was a little girl named "Blessin Baby". So sad! </p> <p>My mother in law was a receptionist for a guy named Richard Holder, but he went by Dick. She had to answer the phone "Dick Holder's office". And oddly enough, I worked for his son-in-law! Small world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248966 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:39:49 +0000 MrsTiz 248966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is dating a guy named Budweiser Miller.</p> <p>No joke- it's on his drivers licence and everything. They call him "Bud", but he told my sister he wants to name his future daughter Corona. I told her to get out NOW haha! His dad was at a bar, got schwasted and came home to his pregnant wife and said that he wanted to name their son Budweiser. She laughed it off thinking he was drunk &amp; told him that if he remembered it in the morning she would allow it. Needless to say, he remembered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248956 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:25:49 +0000 autumnlove 248956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember a girl named Tequila Chastity Smith in elementary school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248937 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 18:59:30 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 248937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i once taught a student named zach morris. not unfortunate, but hilarious. :) </p> <p>i also know someone else named juss wright. for real. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248935 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 18:56:02 +0000 LemonLong 248935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a lady who lived in my town named Marijuana Pepsi. That was her legal given name. She was actually a teacher. It sounds like the stuff urban legands are made of, but if you google it you'll find newspaper articles about her. </p> <p>The old man who announced all the football games when I was in high school was named Dick Bender. I probably would have gone by Richard instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248930 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 18:50:29 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 248930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: I'm sure she gets sick of hearing crap about her name - I know I would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248895 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:16:59 +0000 Sammyfab 248895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's stepdad's name is Harry Cummings.

If she has another girl, she wants to name her Kolyns. It would be pronounced like Collins (which I love) but I seriously read it and thought it was Colons. Yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248852 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:09:11 +0000 eeh 248852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read an interview with Destinee where she was asked about her name. She said she's been teased over the years by it and people can be so childish about it. If I remember correctly she ended up with the name Destinee because she almost died at birth or something like that and her dad picked the name as a result.</p> <p>ETA: <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/01/destinee-hooker-volleyball-proud-of-my-name/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/01/destinee-hooker-volleyball-proud-of-my-name/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248836 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 15:57:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 248836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a babysitter growing up named Dusty Broome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unfortunate-name-decisions#post-248833 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 15:55:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 248833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is an msnbc commentator named Krystal Ball.
