If it were just Hollywood people, it’d be a bit more understandable. But, why in the world, would an every day person name their daughter Ima Hogg?? That’s just cruel.
I read an aritcle recently in Parents magazine about naming and it claimed that, in Germany, the government has to approve all names and will reject anything unisex (the example they used was Riley) or that may cause the child senseless harm or teasing. Can you imagine it being necessary for the government to step in and have a say on naming? How much in taxes do you think they spend on that?
I can’t think of anything too awful that I’ve heard, but I do know a John Johnson and a Bob Roberti – really parents? yuo couldn’t be more creative than that? -
Yeah, I’d heard about that Kyd thing. My fave on your list, though, is Kal-El Cage. SHEESH My husband went to high school with a girl named. . . and I kid you not (we have the yearbook to prove it!). . . Ima Hogg. Her parents thought it was funny. That poor girl probably ended up in a mental institution! I’ve always thought a child needs a good name to live up to. A creative name is one thing, but some of the ones you’ve listed. . . UGH. Of course, in the Hollyweird world, I’m sure it’s thought of as. . . well. . . normal! LOL

Oh no! How horrible for her, Becky Joie! Something to think about!

You always come up with the zaniest stuff. I have some funny names but I can’t really share them. Well, maybe one. LOL. My husband knew a girl in college with the name, Rhea Dire. Imagine how everyone laughed when her name was announced over the loud speakers system with the typical last name first approach.
