Parents do strange things with their kids sometimes.



The name in question?


Yes, really.

I knew a Kandy Kane and Lolly Popp in high school.

They were both very nice young ladies, and both were ashamed of their names.

Yup...blame the parents. It's a HUMAN BEING you're hanging that handle on, not a dog or cat.

"A Boy Named Sue" was a funny song; not so much in real life.

Er, the twins Lemonjello and Orangejello (pronounced LE-mon-jallow and Or-ong-jallow) lived in my town.

Syphallis, pronounced Cy-fall-ous, also lived here.

And La-a, pronounced La-DASH-A...

The brain weeps...

Hey Aaron;

I had a guy in my first unit, was a really laid back guy and everyone called him "Slice" as in Slice of Home Pie. Really good guy, but his name was "Carey Wad Semen". One day we were at a barracks party and I happen to ask him "Yo Slice, sup with the name?" He smiled and commented "Man my parents were bikers." and he went back to drinking a beer. Yep

drjim: Yep, parents really shouldn't be doing that kind of stuff.

Beans: Seriously? Those names just don't jell.

MrGarabaldi: I'd want to be called Slice if that was my name as well. You'd think bikers would give their kids tough names not ridiculously embarrassing ones. Yeesh.
