Its a sanskrit word. I have only seen it with a K growing up. However I see it with a c as well on google.
Cool.

It's spelled with a "C" if you are referring to Mad Max. It's spelled with a "K" if you are into yoga or some kind of mysticism. Sheesh.

[The Buddha]

The point is ... mad max is 26 years old. The Word and the practice is 1000's of years old.

Its like calling the Bible - Byble. Just cos some movie refered to it that way doesn't make it a new word.

Cool.

That only works if we were referring to the general word "Kundalini" and still spelling it with a C. If we're only referring to the character in the movie, then there's absolutely no reason to even know there was any form of the word previously in existance. That's like walking into a sheetz gas station and telling them they're not allowed to spell their store with a "z" at the end because there were "sheets" before there were "sheetz", and furthermore you can only see one building infront of you so they should have to call it "Sheet". Names are fair game apperantly, which is why they're not allowed when you play Scrabble. If you really want something to get upset about I'll share some of the stupid names I've collected on my list now what I work in the welfare office, these names aren't rare either. This is the crap I deal with on a daily basis....

Now tell me that Cundalini still bothers you because it has a C instead of a K

Oh my god, are they twins???  A friend of mine is a cop in Baltimore on the west side (rough neighborhoods).  He has gotten good at spelling the common city dweller weird names but he was blown away when he arrested a "Lamongello".  He asked the guy to spell his name and he said "L-E-M-O-N-J-E-L-L-O."  My cop buddy looks at him weird and says,"Your name is Lemon Jello???" and the guy goes, "No, it's pronounced "Lamongello" ."     

I was telling that to a guy I used to work with and he said his wife who was an elementary school teacher once had a pair of twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello.  Is it possible these are all the same 2 people or are there more parents who would name their children that?

Haha, they might be the same kids. I don't know if they're twins, but at most they're only a year or two apart. I think they're pretty well known in the teaching circuit. I bet it's a mess being a teacher in the city and having to try to pronounce names like that. You don't want to do too bad because then the kids will look stupid and it's not their fault they were named something dumb. At least in my case I talk to the parents, so I can pronounce it however I want and it only point out the fact that it's a stupid name. They can't say "Why would you pronounce it like that??" because they already know exactly why I pronounced it like that.

One of the odd ones I saw lately was La-ya pronounced Ladashya.  The dash isn't silent....

Heard by my wife at a high school graduation:  Switzerla Japan (last name was Jones, or Johnson, or Smith - she doesn't remember).  She was kind of in a daydream because she was required to be there, since she is a teacher, but not really paying attention.  But she heard the name called and had to look at the graduation list and almost couldn't contain herself when she read it!

[tt_four]

Yeah, I'm so jaded to that stuff anymore that when someone calls and tells me that had a kid, and they named him "Jason" you just think "what just happened?!?!"

How about a mom that named her daughter Female(sounds like hot tamale) because she hadn't thought of a name by the time she gave birth, and when the birth certificate came and just said "female" she decided she'd just keep it.

[dohabee]

A guy in in my aviation program named his kid aleron after the wing control surface called an aileron. 

[The Buddha]

Fine guys (very good one tt_four, I am telling that to the sheetz guys, I already make fun if them by calling them shitz) you win ... and think this is the funniest one I have heard.

Ecretia.

I have heard of some others like what you're describing, Tinysha, Latonjula (late on Jula) and Delaquanta.

And crazy people, my parents named me Buddha ... oh wait a sec, that was werase ...

Cool.
