BonzoEqualsGoodStuff Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 So I just checked my email and one of the links on the main page was to bad baby names. I thought I would share some because it makes me hate my name less and love my parents oh so much more. Diseases You'd have to be really sick to infect your offspring with virulent names like these: Fever Bender (born 1856) Leper Priest (born 1929) Cholera Priest (born 1830 during the second cholera pandemic) Rubella Graves (born 1814) Typhus Black (born 1897) Hysteria Johnson (born 1881) Emma Royd (born 1850) Kathryn E. Coli (born 1894) Mumps Sykes (born 1891) Professions With names like "Mayor Bland," it seems like some parents had high, ambitious hopes for their children's future. Cook Cook Governor Bush Lawyer Low Doctor Love Teacher Blackbear Judge Savage Editor Honeycutt Mayor Bland Sales O. Justice Gamble Moore Sins The authors found 149 records for people named Lust, 70 for Greed, 12 for Sloth, and 830 for Pride. Which of the 7 deadlly sins was missing? Only gluttony. Lust Garten Greed Sister Mancini Avarice Sullivan Sloth Washton Wrath Gordon Envy Burger Pride Saint Greed McGrew Pride Saint Lust T. Castle Irish luck Plenty of parents must have thought that naming their child Lucky would translate into a bright future. In 1930 alone, there are 463 Luckys. Some lucky favorites: Lucky Green Lucky Jewell Lucky O’Brien Lucky Pleasant Luck Fortune Shamrock Hardeman of Illinois Shamrock Dates of Mississippi Shamrock Holland of Texas The religious types: Saint Patrick Blan Saint Patrick Forrest Saint Patrick The patriotic: Ireland England Ireland Green Irish Sea Ireland Brew Whimsical: Rainbow Green Emerald Jewel Clover Field Clover B. Green A St. Patrick’s Day feast: Beef Cooper Guinness Dack Cabbage Haywood Foods Some parents loved eating so much, they named their kids after favorite meals, snacks—and even condiments: Lunch Magee Dinner Ware Bread White Hero Brat Mayo Head Mustard M. Mustard Pickle Parker Plum Sellers Banana Bowdy Cherry Grant Celebrities Forget Suri or Shiloh – celebrities have given their children far stranger names! Discover the stars' oddest, most bizarre baby names: Apple (Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow) Moxie CrimeFighter (Magician Penn Jillette) Hopper (Sean Penn and Robin Wright) Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf) Sosie (Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick) Destry (Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw) Aurelius Cy (Elle Macpherson) Kal-El Coppola (Nicolas Cage) Bluebell Madonna (Spice Girl Geri Halliwell) Audio Science (Actress Shannyn Sossamon) Sage Moonblood (Sylvester Stallone) Tallulah (Bruce Willis and Demi Moore) Kyd (David Duchovny and Tea Leoni) Also, for Friends fans, when I was still living in Hawai'i, I saw a birth announcement for "Chandler Bing Porier." Mhm. Anyway, I think my favorite of all of them is Cherry Grant. Child abuse, classic cinema style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pb Derigable Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I knew a girl named Peaches, and another called Unique. I know alot of girls names that rhyme with unique, but i don't want to list all the African American names that i find questionable, but it's their culture, not mine.

SunChild Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Our family was very relieved when the youngest newly weds decided against naming their first child "Green." They moved on to "Seven" (as in Lucky, I guess) then finally settled on Max. As a fan of his dad's, I can shed light on Kyd Duchovny. His first name is in honor of the playwright Thomas Kyd, a contemporary of Shakespeare; Duchovny has a masters degree in English Literature. The boy's full name is Kyd Miller, and he goes by Miller, not Kyd. His sister also goes by her middle name, which is "West." And so we come back to the title of the thread...

Nathan Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The worst name: Shequayquay Shelishicka (I actually have no clue how to spell that, but that's what it is by sounding it out...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunChild Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 And then there was the poor unfortunate man whose name was Harry Stump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
