I live in Canada and work in a corporate law firm. 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.
Also we have a family friend who named his son Chase Danger...seriously.
-
@Arden: What the heck??? Were these names, like, ethnic? Wowza!
-
@Rubies: you have started my most favorite thread ever. i can't stop laughing!!!!!!!
-
@banana: omgggggggg love the ping pong and erection!
-
@regberadaisy: Are you for seriousssssssssss?? OMG. Were their birthdays at least in those seasons? If Winter's birthday was, like, July 12th, I might just die.
-
@eiko2010: TOTALLY laughing out loud.
-
@regberadaisy: @Rubies: Okay we were totally considering the name Winter for our LO. HAHA Glad we decided against it!!!
-
@Andrea: LOL...I'm glad to be useful every now and then!
-
@chopsuey119: Winter can be a fine name. But not if you have three other siblings named Autum, Summer, and Spring. LOL.
-
@Rubies: yes, i think you deserve the wonderful pumpkin for this thread. hahahaha.

When I was young, one of my good playmates was named Tyche (tie-key). Her mom was Australian . . . *shrug*
One of the assistants at work is named Princess. And I had a (very cool) roommate in college named Marie Antoinette.
-
I met a couple once who introduced their 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son as Arwen and Anakin. Yes, their legal names.
-
@MsLipGloss: Can i say on behalf of Australians that that is not a cultural thing! There's wackos from everywhere!

@Mrs. Jacks: @chopsuey119: @Rubies:
hahahaha I grew up in Queens, NY. If I remember correctly one of them was actually born in their season. I don't remember their kids names but they were doozies too.... -
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.
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. -
@regberadaisy: i know an April, born in April but that is not too bad. the seasons are so funny!!!!
-
My dad grew up with brothers named Doug & Phil Updagrave (totally awkward).
In high school there was a girl that went to a different school named Tequila who went by Toky.
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. -
@CupCakeMama: I wasn't sure if it was a popular name . . . but I think you cleared that up for me.
She was lovely, by the way, and was totally sweet enough to pull off a name like that. Her older sister's name was Tammy.
-
Omg, I love this thread!! I wish I came across some fun names!
-
I did interviews in HR for a theme park for several years and we always got some fun ones! 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.
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. -
Oh, and I forgot... my MIL was a receptionist for Richard Holder... she had to answer the phone - "Dick Holder's office".
Hahahaha
-
@CarrieLouWho: Hahaha! There's a lawyer's office down the street from me and his name is Richard Butts.

Tequila! Johnson! Ed'ward (pronounced Edward), Timberley (dad Tim, mom Kimberley)
