Darth would make an awesome first name when combined with the last name.


Unless the last name is Smith or something really common...


...or that might be awesome, too.
 
We had a janitor at my elementary school named Dick Skinner. Poor guy.

And this thread has been making me cry tears of laughter. Keep the good stuff coming.

What kind of name is Kaldashel?



Relax, dude. You got an urban legend passed on to you from someone you trusted. It happens all the time.

Cyan, really? Did you see their other posts in this thread? I don't think I'm the one that needs to relax.

My friends and I used to go canoeing in northern Michigan. We would often rent our canoes from Hunts' Canoes. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt named their sons Mike and Eric (which isn't much better). The sons were our age and we gave them a lot of shit about their names.

chrystabell

That might be off-putting in English, but I have heard that name hundreds of times and it's quite common in the Spanish language. It means divine grace, as the parents being blessed with this god-given favor and has nothing to do with the German automobile manufacturer.

Ecuador probably is home to some of the strangest names of all, bar none. A famous journalist used to run a contest to identify the strangest names. All the entrants had to do was to bring along their ID card as proof. The first prize was "a gallon of locally brewed 'firewater' brandy so that the winner could get so drunk they'd forget their own names."

Here are some of the translatable ones - was able to find two with ID cards:

Adolf Hitler

Snow White

Some names include:

Normandía (Normandy)
Espíritu Santo (Holy Spirit)
Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus)
Tissot (the timepiece manufacturer)
Semen de los Dioses (Semen of the Gods)
Funcionario Severo (Harsh Civil Servant)

And some that don't need translation:

Alí Babá
Burger King
Vick Vaporup
Alka Seltzer
Lincoln Stalin

There's some other strange names from other Latin American countries:

James Bond Zero Zero Seven

Bruce Willis is Venezuelan!
 
At the party I set up today, one of the place tags was for someone named 'Trooper'. /gag

Kinda related, but I think it is awful when, for example, Hispanics use English names with Hispanics last names.

I'm Mexican, and it is not that uncommon to hear, for example... Brian Rodriguez. It sounds awful.

I'm a latino with an english first name stfu. Best part? Most people from my country think its a latino first name haaha
 
I've seen a lot of stupid names. Mystique is one that comes to mind. Also first names that are the same or similar to their surnames: Martin Martin, Roger Rogers etc.

You just made me cry.
 
My mom works as a family service worker, and she told me about one child whose parent named them 'Vagina'...... Yes, not Virginia, but Vagina, as in a cooch.

You couldn't make that shit up if you wanted to. I feel so bad for that poor child.
 
They honestly get more and more absurd every new born. Everyone wants to give their baby a unique name nowadays.

edit - intentional mispellings for uniqueness drives me nuts too. Britney appears so many times:

-Britany
-Britney
-Brittaney
-Brittani
-Brittanie
-Brittany
-Brittney
-Brittni
-Brittny

I'll grant a few of those a pass, but Brittni? Way to set up your daughter for failure.

Brittany is the proper spelling:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany

I knew a Brittany who loathed Britney Spears because, as she put it "Ever since that redneck no-talent whore became popular no one has spelled my name right!"

I have a friend who knew a girl, first name Cinnamon, last name Queen. Cinnamon Queen.

I once played an MMORPG with a girl named Cassandria. Her parents couldn't decide between Cassandra and Andrea, so they combined the two names.

Also, my username comes from a girl I knew. I thought it was a unique name and used it in said MMO, then used it everywhere. It's pronounced "Keyvey" and her mom told her it meant "Graceful beauty" or something like that.
 
-Methusela
-Melvin
-Bonita

why anyone would look at their newborn and think I want to give you one of these names is beyond me :/

P.S. I work with client benefit documents all day, and the worst name I've ever seen is Peculiar Gift. Her first legal name is "PECULIAR GIFT". Her parents must have looked at her and thought "hmm..." and just tossed her a description instead of a real name
 
Oh, I have another friend who named his son Chase.

Chase is actually a cool name though. But his last name is Peters.

*Giggle*
 
I saw once on TV as girl that was going to get a sum of money from her dead father. Problem was she wasn't allow to change her first name, which pissed the girl off.

Turns out the father named the daughter Lesbiana (Lesbian) because her mother leave him for another woman, and the girl was just tired of the jokes.

Now I don't know if this was real but there's one weird name I actually saw. There was this client name Henemenehilda. pronounce Eh-Neh-Meh-Neh-jill-dah. Currently using that name as my wifi password.
 
Every name ending with -wan

Antuwan, DaJuwan, Dejuwan, Radwan..


Also Moeesha, Shauntey.

Basically every name that makes people reading your name know that you're black, although you haven't met, yet.
 
Any name that sounds like it came from a fanfiction of a teenager like Krystale, Gwyn, etc.

Also apparently people are naming babies from countries.
 
My name is Aidan (it is spelled with an "a" dammit) and I used to love my name growing up because it was relatively rare. (I'm 28 now) That is not the case anymore, but the more upsetting fact is that the Aiden variation is kind of becoming the norm.

I think it's a good Irish name though, but the variations on it are what's killing me.
 
God damn it. I just watched some Pimp my ride reruns (Don't ask why, it is what was on) and they had a girl called Spechelle. What in the hell were her parents thinking. Girl was cool, but that name. Ugh.
 
I just laugh when I hear young parents in today's world still using generic - boring names.

Especially on facebook and shit. "Welcome our new baby John Davis into the world!". Or Michael James! etc etc

The lack of creativity is astounding.
 
I have a friend who is obsessed with the name Jaxson. But just wants to call him Jax.
She's not even pregnant.

I've also seen:
Heighdyn
Devonte / Demonte (siblings)
