Really Bad Names

I'm sure we've all met someone who you just pity for the sheer embarrasment of their names.

For eg, a guy I went to school with went by the name of Matthew but his name on the class roll was 'Yechiel', which confused the teachers no end as they had no idea how to pronounce it.

Another guy I knew was Frank Stein, middle name Norman.

My brother's ex-girlfriend had a friend who's name was William Timothy Wardrobe, otherwise known as Bill-Tim-Wardrobe.

And I heard on the radio about a guy who was born on April 25th so his parents called him Anzac Day Jones.*


So everyone come forward and tell all.



*for all non-australians: Anzac Day is a public holiday commemorating soldiers who've died in wartime.

wow, 3 responses in four minutes. Way too many people online at once.

sligster, I was talking about real names. And if you're going to quote Austin Powers, Alotta Fagina is much better.

There was a kid in my English class named Doug Butt. Exactly spelled right and everything. Butt. I felt so bad for him. And what makes it worse is that he's really really fat.

I love the name Apple. What's wrong with it? You should be envious. You should all be envious. I think I'll name my future daughter Apple.

No, blanket was the kids nickname because Michael always hid her under the blanket.

But you have to feel sorry for his kids (I mean for more than the obvious reasons) when you notice that ALL of them are named Michael.

Prince Michael
Princess Michael
Michael blanket
etc

Other fantastic Zappa names:

Ahmet Rodan Zappa
Dweezil Zappa
Diva Zappa

They're good names, though. Much better than "Ralph".

I was actually shocked when a friend told me he met someone who named her son 'Cthulhu'. I mean really, naming your son after a demon-prince of the netherworld? Thats just low. Apparently she just 'liked the sound of it'

+++ Seeing as this thread is starting to take a bit of a tangent, I've created a new thread on names we like so that this one can be exclusively for bad names from evil parents.
