Bad Bad Baby Names

Since I have nothing better to blog about right now, I thought I would blog about today's headline I saw on Y@hoo. I guess a judge in New Ze@land has had enough with crazy names for kids. There was one little girl who was so embarrassed by her name, (which by the way was Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii) that she told everyone to call her "K". Yes that was her name. How sad. Others on the roster - Fish and Chips, Benson and Hedges (twins), Yeah Detroit and Sex Fruit. WTF???

So this got me thinking about some of the horrible baby names I've heard. Personally I think this trend was started by celebrities and normal folks took to following.

If you want a good laugh that might cause you to pee in your pants check this out (Heather you should especially read this):

Bad, Bad Baby Names

Some names that I've seen and these are not a joke:

Hunter Beaver (did you get it? this is not a joke. saw it in a birth announcement)
Patience-at-the-Rising-of-the-Sun
Halo Song Nyu (born to Stacie & Garrett)
Brooks*Gorman*Henderson (sounds like a law firm and is the name a guy Lane used to work with gave his 1st son. Second son was Cooper something Henderson. Also sounded like a law firm.)

And some interesting names celebrities have given their kids:

Pilot Inspektor
Audio Science
Sage Moonblood
Diva Muffin
Kal-el
Moxie Crimefighter

I'm not knocking those who give their kids trendy names. I don't necessarily understand it but it is what it is. However this outright weird naming of children...

Some parents should be shot. I liked how that judge took the child away and wouldn't give Talula back until the parents legally changed her name to something normal. Claimed the name was child abuse. That judge is my hero.

I read that this afternoon and couldn't believe it! My mom used to work in Vital Stats at the hospital. She had a woman name her daughter Tampax. Wait! There's more...her other daughter was named Kotex!!!! I am freaking serious!!! My grandmother's name was Olive Plant (maiden name Rose). Her cousin was Daisy Rose. She married a man named Bush. New name: Daisy Rose-Bush!!!! You just can't make this stuff up!!!
