Moonbeam eh? I knew a Sunshine once. Perhaps girls with names like that would double up on a guy like me.

A couple of local radio guys here in Memphis, Drake and Zeke, had a daily feature called the "Bad Baby Name of the Day", where they would read one baby name per day. They were all true, taken from newspaper birth announcements.

D&Z left the market last year, so I haven't heard their show in a while, and I can't think of one single baby name they did. Maybe some Memphis OOT'ers can help me out here. (They used to log them on the Rock103's website, but the D&Z links there are gone).

Names like Shining Star Johnson and Youdaman Jones.

Can't believe I forgot this one:

Two poker dealers I know, brothers, went to see a comedy show. They were sitting up front, and the chick onstage decided it was time to do some improv:

COMEDIAN: You in the white shirt, what's your name?
SNAPPER: Snapper.
COMEDIAN: No, not your nickname, your real first name.
SNAPPER: It's Snapper.
COMEDIAN: No sh*t? Who's that guy next to you?
SNAPPER: My brother.
COMEDIAN: (to brother) What's your name?
HERCULES: Hercules.
COMEDIAN: No, not your nickname, your real name.
HERCULES: Hercules.
COMEDIAN: (pause)...What the [censored] were your parents thinking?

When I was younger I always wanted to name my son Crash Danger Estes. Crash after bull Durham and Danger just say he could say "Danger is my middle name." Pretty lame but still funny to me.

[ QUOTE ]
My mother is a school teacher, and she is always telling me about kids she has with strange names. There was this one girl in her class that the kids called "Iwilla". This is a strange name, but she later found out that the girl's name on her birth certificate was "IwillriseandshineforJesusChrist Jones". Who would do this? Does anybody else out there know somebody whose parents subjected them to a lifetime of mockery because of a dumb name?

[/ QUOTE ]

That sort of name goes back to the Puritan era. There was the "Barebones" parliament named after one of its members: Praise-God-from-Whom-All-Blessings-Flow Barebones.

Personally I think Huck Seed and his brothers have pretty funny names. Years ago when I worked in a library, a family of children would come in for picture books: Jonathan, Baldwin, McIntosh, and Snow Apple.

Today children's names are so, um, individual that you only get teased on the playground if your name is Jane or Tom.
