Every single time Parks and Rec comes on and the credit for "Norm Hiscock" flashes, I laugh to myself.
Do you just say, "What up G?"
Marine. We had a student go through school last month. PFC Marine.
I knew a lady whose middle name was Latrina.
ESPN. No joke, there were parents who actually named their kid ESPN. It was on the news.
That poor kid.

For those of you who haven't heard of that one, I'm serious. Google it.
When I worked for the bank we had a customer called Keith Potato.
I read about a kid in Australia whose parents named him Fish N Chips a few years ago....
And then supposedly the Aussie gubment made it so that they can tell parents they can't name their kid dumb shhh like that.
I think I win this thread. I work in a takeaway and I have a customer with the surname Gooch. There's also a Butt, Haws and more than one Cox!
I knew someone with the last name Cox.;p

There was a girl who called in to the radio show Loveline named Lasagna.
There was a math teacher (I never had her but she was so perky and enthusiastic I dubbed her "The Math Fairy", a name that stuck) called Mrs. Cocke. She insisted it was pronounced "coke" but it was too late.
Shouldn't be a teacher with a name like Cocke.
There was a customer I dealt with once called Richard Cock. I was literally like "Damn son, your parents named you Dick Cock" (It was an email, and Dick is short for Richard over here)
Chinese people's English names. The worst one I found was a girl in my office named Queenal :monster:
I feel bad for kids with terrible names. Naming your child Extracurricular Activity or something isn't going to help them in life. That resume will get thrown in the trash before any accomplishments are read because it telegraphs your parents were more excited about their personal buffoonery than the human being they created. Then they have to go through the fuss of changing their name, if they're smart. Also Pontus, for personal reasons.
I think those kids who were named Adolf Hitler and stuff like that by their white supremacist parents win this thread. If I remember right the parents lost custody over the children and they had their names changed though.

Easy.
I spoke to a guy on the phone called "Darth Vader" once. I am torn between worst and best name here, the guy had good humour about it (he was all "May the force be with you", which I linefaced at - Vader wouldn't be saying things like that!) but still... I dunno if it was self inflicted or whether his parents were cruel. Either way. Names.
Daiv easily wins though.Quote:

I read a post on some website that basically said parents who don't name their kids the most common thing in the world (and don't change the spelling!!!!) are abusing their child and being pretentious. I don't know I like my name. I would've hated being one of the seven million smurfing Sams, Joshs, Nicks, etc, etc. I mean people ended up with cool nicknames so we could tell them apart but whatever.
When I was kid, a guy used to come into work called Petrus Trollop.
I went to school with a Richard Holder and a Richard Spray. Think about those two.
There's a woman who sometimes appears on breakfast current events shows in New Zealand, and I swear I'm not making this up, called Gay Dick.
I'd like everyone to know that o_O is a terrible namer and that when I was coming up with names for Achilles, he tried to get me to name him Floorcake.
o_O is great at naming things. Floorcake is a wonderful name.
