the mrs came in this evening with a new one she had seen at work- this is legit, this is no bulls*t, this child's name was
L'-A (that's Ladasha to the some odd 299 million folks, including myself, in the US that didn't know)
it doesn't matter the ethnic background, hell i have seen plenty of strange ass names from all races and creeds- it just seems a shame to shackle some youngster with the name L'-A.
Before you make fun of anyone's name, you may want to consider that it's different culture. Also L'-A might be as common in that country as "Smith" or "Jones" is in THIS country.

Dude, that joke is as old as my great grandmother's buckskin Kotex...
That was a joke?
Pretty bad one IMO.
working at a health department someone came in with the name
S hithead (shih' thayed)
no space obviously
well for the longest time, buddha here used his given name but not many others did afaik
I think me and Budda were the only ones that used our names... except for John.
Has he surfaced at all by any chance?
well, for what it's worth, my name is Payam....it doesnt sound like it's spelled nor can ~I~ pronounce it as it's a word/name in Thai and Farsi
it wasn't a joke. My wife saw it pursuant to some forms being filled out.
and i am very familiar with given names from asia, europe, the african continent, the middle east, our friends in israel, and i have never seen a "blank" , i.e. "-" used in place of/substitued for a letter. plenty of dashes within names, but that's it.
my ex-wife's middle sister was going to name her 1st born (if female) "Shaloe" (that's as close to her punctuation per my wife at the time as i can spell it) i asked my wife to find out just exactly how they were spelling "Shaloe", well it turned out to be Chloe. so my dumbass sister-in-law was going to name her daughter Chloe, but thinking it was Shaloe. again, brilliant move.
I went to junior college with a Walker Trott, and senior college with Bob Sled-
i don't care where these guys folks were from, but they made their offspring's name a perpetual joke- if you don't think it's funny, that's fine by me, if you don't find it sorta sad, that's ok too- but if you check back with them in about 40 years on the general public's take on their monikers i think you'll find yourself in the minority.
Well I use my real name here. I just use it in french. Coffey = Cafe so :tongue2:

also, didn't Nicholas Cage name his son Kal-el after Superman's cryptonian name? at first I thought "poor kid" but now I'm kinda jealous. I'd take Kal-el over Brandon any day. :icon_mrgreen:

THAT is an AWESOME name! Kal-el. I love superman stuff... I'm pretty much a Smallville fanatic. lol
i went to school with a Jack Knoff..... :laugh:
seeing as how anyone intimately knowledgable concerning their grandmother's feminine hygene would be most wise indeed jstrube i will let you call my wife a liar, not taking into consideration of course that someone with a weak intelligence having seen a name, ficticious or otherwise, may have decided to name an offspring likewise.
i am humbled by your intervention, and of course, the infallibility of snopes.
The Morse Code name response was the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Still laughing. Thanks.
Speaking of Morse Code . . . my dad was a radio operator in WWII and worked with code all the time. Sixty seven years later he can still decipher the code on marine bands as fast as he hears it. He's 85 now. Amazing. I can't even remember my phone number half the time.

Well, I've got about as plain of an American name you ever saw! But, 90% it is misspelled! How do you missspell Mary Sharp. Well, Mary can be Mari or Marry which Disney did to my nametag twice. And constantly they spell Sharp with an "e" on the end. Really, is my name that hard?
But, no i don't use my name on here!
Mary
Oh, wait I do!
we where going to name our son Indy Danger, but never made it that far.
Had a buddy in school named Mike Hunt. Poor kid never heard the end of it.

:o What do folks think about when naming there kids.
My boys name is Christopher or Chris, I mean what's wrong with just a good down home name. :cookoo:
i'm with you cafe, i named my son John Wesley- and in 30 yrs the only question he's ever gotten was it after Dylan's album John Wesley Harding-
it was after my grandad.
i got teased growing up bout my last name. Serio. kids are mean. parents should think of that when naming their children.
I received a forwarded email about the woman who named their kid L-A not too long ago. I am not saying your wife is a liar, I am sure a lot of people received the email and one of them was probably stupid enough to name their kid L-A. :dunno_black:
never underestimate the power of stupidity. :cookoo:

My older son knew a kid named John Krap, Jr.
Yes, he's going to name his son, John Krap.
Although it seems to be a common name, why in the world would someone want to name their son duck. D-I-C-K. (yes, i spelled it out in case the filter snatches it)

They don't. They name the kid Richard and they get D-i-c-k for short.
