OT Twinkle Vanwinkle

[aggie1983]

I broke the rules and only read the last two pages before commenting, but now after reading most all of it, it just reinforces my opinion that some parents need to be lined up and shot (okay, maybe just spoken harshly to) for the names they have saddled their children with. It may be "so cute", but it can truly make life difficult for the kids who have to deal with their parents' idiocy. Our last name happens to be one of those held up for ridicule in earlier posts, we thought very carefully about what to name our children so as not to leave them any more vulnerable then they already were going to be. You can't control your last name, it is part of your heritage, but you can certainly think twice before burdening that precious baby with something that will almost certainly be a source of embarrassment at the beginning of each school year ( and perhaps even make it difficult for an employer to take them seriously.) Off the soapbox now.

My dad was telling me today about a bloke he works with that has the surname Orange, his wife's name is Cherry Orange... :/

I don't know about other parents, but I made sure even my kids' initials didn't spell some funky abbreviation. So it always makes me chuckle when I see a baby named some thing like Alberto Santiago Sanchez.

Thomas Dale High School in Chester, VA's cheer coach's name...Candy Cain.

A teacher at my school is marrying a man named Thomas Dale. I guess it's only a weird name if you live in Chesterfield

In Richmond weirdness...
There's a man named Happy the Artist who's kids all have bizarre names, Ocean Miracle is one, fellow Richmonders, please help me out with his other kids

My younger sister is T.A.P....which isn't funky. Mine are E.S.P which is only funky because I frequently have tendencies where I do E.S.P-ish things and people will always say "whoa do you have ESP?.....and I will say... sure, those are my initials.

My sister dated someone named 'Dylan John Tucker McKay' and then of course there's that Olympian named Regina George

So his name was Dylan McKay. As in the character from the original Beverly Hills 90210?

And don't forget the John Tucker part (from the movie John Tucker Must Die)

YES! Personally, I was more excited about Dylan McKay, but to have John Tucker in there too, what are the odds?

So happy I'm not the only person who watches old 90120!

I have a friend named Luzana. When her doctor calls in prescriptions for her, they always spell it Lasagna.

Fresh off of the WITN news website :

Police said the four people injured in a hit and run over the weekend had been attending a family reunion.
Sergeant Joe Friday with Greenville Police said Monday that the children were at a hotel, and had been swimming until a late hour. investigators believe their mother was taking the children to a different location. On their way, the family was hit by an unidentified driver, who then fled the scene.

My initials spell mad. It doesn't really help if I'm not happy on a random day

It's one of my favorites!! When I got bangs, I brought a picture of Shannen Doherty as Brenda to show my hairdresser for reference.
