Shadynasty is my new favorite name.

You should print this out and frame it for his room.

Stack - That is one of my favorite things about the picture. That guy makes me laugh. That is the Columbus marathon running behind us!

Stackeye210 · December 2009

Shadynasty - must be the conditions surrounding her pregnancy. How exactly do you explain to your child that you hated them so much at birth that you thought they deserved this name?

Mrs.B6302007 · December 2009

Future conversation between Shadynasty and her mom....

S: Mommy, how did I get my name?
S's Mommy: Well sweetie, your daddy and I were fooling around in a shady spot near a meadow. Then he got really worked up and started doing nasty things to me. Two weeks later when I realized I was knocked up, I decided right then and there that my baby deserved the name Shadynasty after her conception circumstances.

I like that idea Mrs. B. And if I follow that mom's logic, I should have named Ben, Drunksex. But I would pronounce it, Droonksay to give it a little flavor.

Stackeye210 · December 2009

No cew. Ben is fine, just so long as his middle name is Dover.

[Deleted User] · December 2009

That would work too.

Apparently, the mother was young and from a poorer area of NC. My friend is in residency, so she didn't ask the "meaning" of the name, but there are some other doozies. Such as L-ah (La Dasha) Female (pronounce it like tamale) and Urine ("your- IN- a"). Sometimes I think that dumb people should be sterilized.

Urine for President....

H and I have come up with some really cruel names for our potential future accidents. I don't know what we'll do if we ever do have an accident, though, because the cruel names are the only fun ones

I know about L-a (pronounced LaDasha), but I refuse to believe that someone would name their child, Urine. Although, Chlamydia is a real name. Sad, but true.

I was scrolling through my fb friends list the other night and I was thinking: when in the world did I become friends with so many damn toddlers????

You know what really burns my buns about those names? The parents get all bent out of shape when people mispronounce their kids' wacked out names. I'm sorry, I'm supposed to magically know how to pronounce the letters you threw together to make up a name? No.

Classic example--I went to school with a girl who's name was Antares, her parents mispronounced it (she was called An-TER-iss rather than An-TAR-ez). And how do I know that this was an accident rather than an intentional mispronunciation? Her middle name is Star. Name fail. She would get livid whenever teachers pronounced her name the correct way (or incorrect, I guess, depending on whom you ask). She's in law school now. I know it's not her fault that her parents are WT and gave her a bad and mispronounced name, but if I were her professors, I would have a very hard time taking her seriously as a law candidate. And if my name were An-ter-iss Star, I'd get it changed, stat.

I still think La-a, Oranjello, Lemonjello, and Shithead are all Urban myths.

mwhitson14 · December 2009

That's why, anytime I'm calling roll in a new classroom, I go by last name. Always. And ask every kid to pronounce their name, even if it's Bob. Ya just never know.

pinkpinot · December 2009

Heels - that is AWFUL. FI hates hates hates his name and it's always mispronounced. His family is Latvian and gave him a traditional name. If we ever had a son, he does not want the name passed down.

bbyckes · December 2009

I worked for a minute with someone named Candace. Oh, you might think her name is prounounced CAN-DACE, like normal people would think, but no. Her name is pronounced CAN-DAY-SEE. Seriously. And she would get PISSED if you pronounced it wrong (or right)! Seriously? Your name sucks - your mom probably hates you.

Mrs.B6302007 · December 2009

Shithead is not an urban legend. We have a student in our school of Indian or Mideastern descent with this name. It is pronounced Shi-THED

I've also heard it prnounced, Shuh-Tead.

Stackeye210 · December 2009

I personally know a Minigah. Pronounced My-nigah - as in no white person can actually say his name without getting punched for a racial slur.

We had a pair in my school too, but way after me. My mom had one in class.

I called my friend, Urine and Female were both girls, born to non english speakers who thought that the hospital had named the children. One child had a urine test, and the other was, well female.

[QUOTE]I've seen (saw?) Heaven Leigh. Its just too V.C. Andrews for me. Did anyone else ever feel kinda cheated as a kid if they couldn't find something with their name on it? (Like keychains, pencils, etc.) I never could and my name isn't that odd.
Posted by lovethebeach16[/QUOTE]

YES. And my name was around 141 in popularity for girls' names the year I was born. It's not THAT odd or unusual. I think they only take the top 40 names and put them on that personalized stuff or something. (My name might be making a come back due to Grey's Anatomy. I think.)

My brother, on the other hand, had one fo the 5 most popular boys' names in the 1980s. He said it sucked to be one of 5 in the same class.

And Kevin Smith's daughter is named Harley Quinn.

betrothed123 · December 2009

I looked it up and apparently my name was ranked 142 the year I was born, yet for some reason no one can seem to understand how to spell it.

As for Kevin Smith's daughter, why am I not surprised?
