We're watching the women's Olympic volleyball team, and one star has the unfortunate name "Destiny Hooker." What other unfortunate names have you heard lately?
-
oh my lanta, what were the parents thinking?!?!? lol. i heard another olympian named dong dong! lol sounds dirty.
-
There is an msnbc commentator named Krystal Ball. It's her real name. Her dad chose it. What was he thinking?
-
I had a babysitter growing up named Dusty Broome.
-
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.

A girl that I went to school with is pregnant with her second child. 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!
-
My friend's stepdad's name is Harry Cummings. Poor man!
-
@eeh: I'm sure she gets sick of hearing crap about her name - I know I would!
-
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.
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!
-
i once taught a student named zach morris. not unfortunate, but hilarious.
i also know someone else named juss wright. for real.
-
I remember a girl named Tequila Chastity Smith in elementary school.
-
My sister is dating a guy named Budweiser Miller.
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 & told him that if he remembered it in the morning she would allow it. Needless to say, he remembered.

In the Sunday paper today, they had the baby announcement section and there was a little girl named "Blessin Baby". So sad!
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!

There's a Professor Dick Love at the university I go to. He teaches my brother engineering.
-
Oh my goodness - how horrible. All these names.
I remember I had to call out a client (customer service) and her last name was kunt. NO JOKE! -
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.
Yep. It was Felony. Her mom decided to just put a fun spin on Melony/Melonie.
-
My friend is married to Brady Bunch.
-
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.
-
this is so sad!! lol
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.
My dad worked with a guy whose last name was Hunt and his daughters were Easter Egg and Treasure. Poor girls.
-
I had a regular customer years ago named Michael Hunt who went by Mike...
-
I taught swimming lessons for years and was amazed by what people will call their kids! I also taught a Treasure Hunt (weird, and not even original) as well as a Cosmo Zen.
Growing up in a hippie town, I knew a Rainy Day and a Amber Sunrise (sunrise was her middle name).

@Mrsdaredevil: hahaha I was reading these out loud to DH and we both laughed the most at that one
