When you work with kids you see some really stupid names. Cinderella, Elvis, and twins are the worst Bobbi & Bobby, Tiwon & Titwo. The most memorable was taking care of a newborn, and a couple of staff decided to have a gentle chat with the mom about why Niger was not a good name for a very dark baby boy ("...but it's in the Bible") .
Mr. X said she is really sweet and lovely. You would have never ever thought. He thought she was joking with him about it but she was straight faced and serious. If I was her I probably be in jail right now for offing my parents for giving me such an awful name.
I am even surprised that no one at the Birth registry office clocked it and turned it down. I mean doesn't any one have a say about certain names on a birth certificate???? I know we are in a free country but that takes the cake.
I have known some really bad names, but I think the most inappropriate one I have encountered was when my mom decided to switch gynecologists. This was years ago and she just showed up at the Dr's office that her insurance sent her to. She never went back after learning his name. Remember what his specialty is. His name was Dick Stiff. Full name Richard, but he liked to go by Dick. How dumb is that? He had a choice and picked that for that profession.

Some doctors are drawn to certain specialties because they have "issues." Clearly, Dick is one of those doctors.
Oh, and I forgot my all-time favorite name. One of my colleagues had to call this kid from a waiting room, and made the obvious error. This mom was super pissed. The kid's name was.......Ashole! Pronounced Ashoal.

I do not get it or why people do this. It truly is ashame. People have to live with this for the rest of their lives or unless they make the conscious decision to change it. I would never do that to my child ever. And if I ever come across someone who even remotely thinks of naming their child such a stupid name as Cherri Hymen or Dick Stiff, I will be ripping them a new one.
The man came back early and stealthily started mowing the lawn?
I actually had the fantasy that that exact scenario played out in our house yesterday...
DH came home for lunch and since I was having issues with my back, he said he'd mow the lawn when he came home in the evening. It needs it badly and it's supposed to rain all day today.
Well, 7pm rolled around and DS and I stopped waiting for him to come home. We ate and went down in the basement to watch t.v.
At one point, I walked upstairs and smelled the distinct, lovely smell of freshly mowed grass! I was so happy, opened the door to the garage - and it was closed. DH wasn't home happily mowing the lawn. Bummer.
