Unfortunate names

[Knightsaber Priss]

When I worked at Blockbuster these two girls came up to me who's names were Dolloly and Kakelly. I didnt ask about their names but one of the girls took it upon herself to tell me that her mom suffered from a stutter and the doctors didn't seem to make that connection when she named the kids. They were supposed to be Dolly and Kelly

Best Hospital Naming story ever.

I knew a guy who was named Phuck Tulong.

I knew a guy who was named Phuck Tulong.

I work in a hospital... and there was a patient there who's first and last name were the same.

Kind of like this one...

Also met a woman who named her twins Brianna and Aubrianna. The funny part was she was pissed at the hospital for mixing up their birth certificates. Can't imagine how that happened.

I was reading about how Iceland's Gov't has collapsed and I couldn't help but think that Prime Minister Geir Haarde's name is rather....suggestive.

There was this girl at my old job named Blanca. Not an unusual name for a Latina, but when I told my friends about her, they kept imagining Blanka from Street Fighter. As soon as they made that connection for me, I'd start chuckling as soon as I said her name at work.

In all fairness to her, the Street Fighter character sorta has a girl's name.

That got me thinking about a girl in High School who had the unfortunate name of Kamala (Rhyming with Pamela.) but when she was running for Student Government some pranksters made up election posters with pictures of the WWF/E's own Ugandan Headhunter.

I mean people who are named after infamous people, or people that just have first or last names that are sadly ripe for mockery. There is one guy that I knew at Purdue who actually has the first name Osama, and when 9/11 hit and to this day, whenever someone mentions the name or he has to broadcast it in some fashion, there's always someone hesitant. I also had an instructor named John Merrick, which I thought was hilarious, but I guess in hindsight he probably caught so much **** for that over the years it wasn't funny.

My name's pretty unfortunate right now.

I know a Kamala. Weird. I've never heard that name on anyone else before.

I knew someone whose last name was Blunt. Had a hard time finding novelty t-shirts and mini-license plates without pictures of marijuana leaves.

 

[Shemtov]

Blajoyavitch (whom i call Blow-job-A-*****)

 

[Drizzle]

Grwn

That one doesn't even have a vowel in it!

I went to high school with a James Brown, who was a scrawny white kid. Just what you should imagine when you think of James Brown.

My neighbor's name is Alpheus Bean.

I think the way Welsh works (and I'm guessing, here), means that it's pronounced "gruun" with the W actually serving as a double-U. It's like when I found out that actor Ioan Gruffudd pronounces his last name "Griffith." Welsh is weird for a language that originated 5 feet away from where English did.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Welsh is the dumbest language in the book. No offense to any Welsh people out there.

I once knew a man who went by the name of Frying Pan. He had a little lad called Scouring Pad who once was involved with a young lass named Hass, who's mother was related to a sod named Jimmy Bob. He has a pet rabbit called Jacob and scratching his balls was his habit. The local widow was christened Bi-focal Middow, who raised a street cat with the moniker Fleet Rat.

Edit: That's it, I think I have officially lost my marbles...

yes
in welsh:
w-u
y-i
f-v
ff-f
dd-th
ll-Lh

so Llanddaffwyn would be pronounced Lhan-tha--fu-in

 

[Shemtov]

another funny name:
LaShawn Hara (you have to be Jewish to get this though)

 

[Manic]

yes
in welsh:
w-u

ff-f
dd-th
ll-yh

so Llanddaffwyn would be pronounced Yhan-tha--fu-in

So... does that mean everyone's been mispronouncing Lloyd and Llewellyn for years?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

No, it's just the Welsh have a way with words that is only matched by the Buddhist Monks of Tibet.

[Ace of Knaves]

HAHA the return of Hitler parents!

 

[Chris Wallace]

It's sad. At best, he grows up with everyone thinking he's a hate-monger & at worst, he grows up to actually be a hate-monger b/c he doesn't know any better.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea, his parents should be sent to live with some real neo nazi's.
