And my wife went to school with a Paige Turner

I saw a guy on one of those old "class of.." photo things in my high school's hallway named Dick Wax. His phonebook name isn't much better, I suppose. Wax, Dick.

Last year, my 2nd grade daughter had a girl in her class named... Spe'shall.. , and yes they did mean for it to be pronounced Special. I'm sure you can all figure out the kind of teasing this poor girl got.

Her little sisters' name is Precious. "shudder"

What is wrong with nice normal names like Bob. *sigh* My generation is a bunch of farking retards.

their late father, Robert, asked his daughter Dinelda what to name the new baby.

You're going to ask someone named "Dinelda" what to name a child? You deserve everything you get.

and I did not believe him until she walked across the stage at his HS graduation...Anita Dick.

Wow....parents must hate their kids. I knew a guy who graduated with a girl named "Anita Peter". I wouldn't believe him until he showed me his high school yearbook.

I went to school with a Jack Wycoff. Say it out loud. Quickly.

I always empathized with his plight. Poor guy.
 
2002-08-03 12:16:52 AM
I wonder how they decided who would be Winner and who would be Loser?????????????????????????????????????????????
 
2002-08-03 12:25:08 AM
The article said the older one was winner, younger was loser.

A guy at my church named his baby girl Trinity, shortly after The Matrix came out. A very cool sounding name, though still strange.

Wareagle03

I think you've a bit of the liar's disease. Those names are from that Shirley Q. Liquor song "Who Is My Baby's Daddy". Ya rotting liar.
 
2002-08-03 12:33:12 AM
Starsky Anne Hutch(inson), different last name now though.
 
2002-08-03 12:38:17 AM
my mum went to school with "Isabella Gorilla"
 
2002-08-03 12:39:49 AM
bush?!
 
2002-08-03 12:43:12 AM
My dad comes home and asks my oldest sister what to name me and she said, 'Well, we've got a Winner, why don't we have a Loser?' And there you go. That was it."


Hahahaa.. I can't handle the funny..

TOO MUCH FUNNY!

BWAHAHAHAHA.

My understanding is that George Foreman named all five of his sons George Foreman as well.

Asshat.
 
2002-08-03 01:14:54 AM
And they didn't get the names legally changed because?

BTW, the "shiathead" and "-jello" names are ULs.
 
2002-08-03 01:29:17 AM
I have never once met a Billy Hill. It'd be hilarious to see his name in the phonebook.
 
2002-08-03 01:29:21 AM
I went to grade school with Cary Grant, Tony Curtis (he was 12 in the fifth grade), and twins Robin and Rock Roll.
 
2002-08-03 01:55:54 AM
George Foreman named all of his kids George because he didn't have a dad growing up, and wanted his kids to have that connection with him. He named his daughter Georgette.
 
2002-08-03 01:57:05 AM
I had a teacher named Richard Burns.
 
2002-08-03 03:14:10 AM
Sburbncwby: It's so he doesn't forget their names. I agree on the asshat call.
 
2002-08-03 03:23:48 AM
Well, you gotta wonder why winner did so poorly and loser did so well. As kids, wouldnt everyone make fun of loser more than winner? Is loser a cop so he can arrest all the people that made fun of him? =)
 
2002-08-03 03:25:05 AM
It should be pointed out that at least the parents got the spelling correct, and didn't name him "Looser".
 
2002-08-03 03:49:55 AM
I remember reading one of those Ramona books about 20 years ago, kid named her doll Chevrolet. :)

I knew of this guy Dick Gay. Serious.

Figured we couldn't go wrong naming our son Tyler Jeffrey. :)
 
2002-08-03 03:53:05 AM
I also think Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are better choices for names. :)

 
2002-08-03 04:06:58 AM
I had a teacher named Talbot Ramsbottom.

I think he got into the clergy just so he'd be addressed as 'Brother Talbot'.

Man, that must have REALLY messed up the refs at sporting events.

"And the winner of the track event is...Loser Lane! Um, hey, who's the wiseass..."
"No, that really is his name!"
 
2002-08-03 07:50:17 AM
they're should be called Fast & Slow (Lanes)
 
2002-08-03 07:53:53 AM
BTW. In Israel there is Guy Penis (or Penis Guy) who is doing interviews with various western celebreties

Dick Buyer (d­buy­er1[nospam-﹫-backwards]o­nuj*c­om), a retired history teacher, is an avid sailor, swims regularly, skis, plays table tennis and has completed three bike treks. As a writer, he enjoys meeting and profiling people who have had unusual experiences.

Rich Buyer would be such a cool name, WHY SHORTEN RICHARD TO DICK?!

Not much to add here except I went to school with a girl named Tuesday Malee. She got married to a guy named Knight. That's right, she is now named Tuesday Knight. My wife's aunt is name Penny Nichols. There was a man on my paper route when I was a kid named Harvey Fails. He was a substitute teacher. He showed up in my 9th grade algebra class one day. And last, I once had a Southwestern Bell rep named Starr Cross. Of course, the women married into those last names. And Mr. Fails just had an unfortunate last name for a teacher.
My brother is a postal carrier and is a great source of funny names. One of his favorites is a man that lives somewhere in River Oaks, Texas. His name is Harold (Harry) Leggs.

The girl across the bar gave me the big L hand sign. So I went on over cuz I figured she knew my nickname.
 
2002-08-03 10:12:57 AM
Wow...I wonder what George Carlin would say about names like that, considering the fury he whipped into during Complaints and Grievances about boys' names like "Dylan, and Tucker, and Todd, and Kyle, and Cammmmmmmmeron!" On and on it went. One of the best bits from that show.

Later.

all time favorite stupid name ....Dick Trickle of nascar fame.
 
2002-08-03 12:20:32 PM
tyler/taylor & bryanna/breanna/briana are just as stupid as any names that can be thought up in the "inner city" (euphemism by white people for black people when they don't wanna seem racist)
 
2002-08-03 02:56:18 PM
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
 
2002-08-03 03:41:25 PM
Good call Cheap_Knockoff, yuppie names are just as dispicable as ghetto names.

My personal least favorites? Naming your kid after a place.
My kid sister has classmates with names like Madison, Dallas, Spencer, etc..

And yes, the name bryanna/breanna/brianna drives me nuts.
 
2002-08-03 04:39:20 PM
When I was in the Army, there was a dude named Lt. Jakoff.

HA HA HA!
 
2002-08-03 05:14:35 PM
Nice brother sister combo that I knew...

Harry & Gae Seamon...

ouch.
 
2002-08-03 07:04:07 PM
Stupid yuppie names drive me nucking futs too, especially when they try to make them sound sophisticated in a British way. I don't mind the Brianna names, actually - I think they're rather pretty (albeit overused). The one I hate most is Hunter. When you name the kid, it's a farking baby. What is it going to hunt? What if it turns out to be a vegetarian or something? Not to mention that that particular noun looks incredibly stupid as a first name. Worst. Pretentious name. Ever.

Celebrities name their kids horrible things as well. I forget where I saw the list, but there was some truly awful shiat: Rumer (spelled that way, it sounds like pus or something), Alchamy (what's next? Byolagy?), Atherton (yet another surname that looks dumb as a first name). At least Moon Zappa is a cute name, but having Unit as a middle name probably wasn't fun.
