My wife was in the hospital to deliver our first child. The lady sharing the room overheard the doctor use the term, "placenta" and thought it so pretty, she named her daughter that. True story!! They walk among us!
Baby name opinion....
Expecting a child, a baby girl. I have never been one for unusual names but one that I have never heard as a name has been nagging me as a consideration. ....Stereo..... Am I just getting used to the sound of a totally ridiculous and cruel first gift to her? Initially our friends just laughed but some are coming around with positive comments... Stereo....

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet: Police years ago pulled over a young woman who rushed through an amber traffic light. "I'm about to arrest this person right now," the irritated officer radioed to a dispatcher. "She's telling me her name is Marijuana Pepsi Jackson."You can read the whole story here. A couple of others worth mentioning (just imagine some poor mom, immediately post-delivery, in a drug-induced haze): Episiotomy (If you're not familiar with these terms, look 'em up--it's worth it!) I'll definitely second Mapman: "Stereo" keeps sounding better and better...But please, for the love of God: DON'T DO IT! _ |
Venus Cassiopée ... which would imply stereo as "transcribed" by French manufacturer Venus Acoustics, so you can do it and not get caught 8^) Of course, their even better flagship speaker is the Venus Cybela, but you don't want to risk your daughter bearing any resemblance with those Cybela |
Hey, if we're trading odd, actual names, my favorites have to be from a Cuban friend who grew up in Miami. He went to school with kids named: Usnavy, Malebaby, Femalebaby, and twins named Lemongello and Orangegello. (Just think about pronouncing them with a Cuban accent). Finally, (not in Miami) there was the gal from South Africa who name is pronounced, with rough phoenitics: shə-thee-ed. Pretty, actually. Spelled: Shithead. Much less great. |
I named my second daughter 'Chanel' after the perfume Chanel No 5. Friends call her Channel ;-) because it is tough to pronounce Chanel. If I had third daughter I would have called her Coco or Fendi. Some other faminine names suggestions: Harmony, Melody, Tune, Viola, Harpsi, Guitar, Frequency, note, and just ....... 'Music' |
I knew a Candy Kane. I went to school with an Arabic kid whose name I can't remember how to spell but was pronounced: Fuckre Magrabe. In the same class with him was another kid named: Joe Conti. There used to be a teacher in my old High School named: Ephelia Dick. I'm starting to feel like I'm in an episode of Beavis & Butthead. |
