is this thread about black people?

1/15/2010 7:10:11 PM

Not necessarily. My parents knew two white folks (unrelated) named Monique and Juan, pronounced "Moni-cue" and "Ju-ann." Atrocious naming defies racial barriers.

My dad worked with a guy many years back whose name was Richard Rich. Predictably, he went by Rich Rich. Interesting sense of humor on his parents, I'm sure.

Not a stupid spelling, but a bad name...I taught a kid named Growmecole, pronounced exactly as it looks. Grow-meeee-coal.

That is my ex's last name. Surprisingly, I've not heard a lot of people mispronounce it (except I still sometimes say du-MOSS, but his family's pronunciation is DO-miss)

Both of those names date back hundreds of years. They aren't really "racial" names...

3/31/2012 2:29:55 AM

Mykel
Maddilynne
Aaraalyn
Brayden/Braylen/Kaylen, all those made up names


But the most awesomely bad name I have ever seen is still Sigourney Beavers

3/31/2012 12:47:05 PM

I taught two unrelated girls whose names were Emylee and Emma Lee

3/31/2012 1:37:35 PM

I hate Carolyn but it's so excepted now as a "real" name

3/31/2012 11:23:04 PM

but that is my best friends name

3/31/2012 11:23:47 PM

Lol I'm sure she's great.

Carolyn is just the bane of my existence

My cashier earlier today at Target was Xzavier. Put that motherfucker across a triple word score tile.


Also, I know an old fighter pilot named Jake Elwood. He's old enough to predate the Blues Brothers, though.

...and my cousin (grew up next door to me) had a girl in his class in elementary school class named Urine (Yoo-Ryne).

3/31/2012 11:48:04 PM

in highschool a kid was named Phuck, and it was pronounced fuck.... took all the fun out of making fun of him really

3/31/2012 11:49:25 PM

that is phucking awesome. I would have gotten away with murder in class in HS if there had been a kid in class with a name phonetically indistinguishable from the F-word.

3/31/2012 11:54:23 PM

yea, you would think that. Until it results in more than one assembly about maturity and sensitivity

[Edited on March 31, 2012 at 11:57 PM. Reason : ... and then it is hilarious!]

3/31/2012 11:55:37 PM

what the phuckever! Was this dude not totally down with the shenanigans, if not the #1 offender?

4/1/2012 12:03:28 AM

no, he was definitely in on it... he was the quiet kid in class that all the teachers loved, but he was really the instigator most of the time... I mean his name was Phuck

[Edited on April 1, 2012 at 12:11 AM. Reason : damn spelling]

4/1/2012 12:04:35 AM

Exactly. I mean, well...shit, you said it. The dude's name was "Phuck".

4/1/2012 12:08:54 AM

lol @ phuck

Interesting. That's my great-grandparents' last name and they always said it as du-MOSS. Wonder if it depends on where in the US they live.

Not a stupid spelling but last year I worked with a man named Precious Gift whateverhislastnamewas.

My Aunt used to teach at a school in Texas...she had a student who's name was T-9-C (on her birth certificate) pronounced Tee-ninecy
