A kid on my sons soccer team is named Speed. It's kind of funny, he gets the ball and we yell "Run, Speed!" or "Go Speed!". The parents from the other teams always look at us pretty funny.
I used to work for Freddy Krueger My clients wife is a pediatrician she is Dr. Kevorkian My ex did have a patient named NasMo King ("No smoking")
No no, she was paid to Tattoo Golden-Palace casino on here stomach. Some guy was paid to tattoo something on his forehead. I think the final bid was in the tens of thousands.
A friend of my wifes was in the maternity ward and there was a lady on the same floor who named her twins Lemongello, and Orangello. Lemon Jello & Orange Jello (A Bill Cosby fan?)

To show how low our culture has become, I read an article recently where people are actually naming their babies "Espn", yes ESPN the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. It seems someone out there still watches it! BHW
My wife is a labor and delivery nurse. One of the baby's middle name was :au Jus"....steak sandwich anyone? There was another one who was Nike La Fila. There was also a Vageena.
I've heard of the "ESPN," pronounced "espin." I've known a guy whose last name is Love, who is working on going to med school. He'll be Dr. Love. A friend of mine in elementary school in Virginia was named Woodrow Dick Jr. He went by Woody, as did his dad. Not too much of a problem when we were in elementary school, but I wonder what high school was like. I moved away before then. I do no of a guy named Chick Davis, but I think "Chick" is just a nickname. He sells guns and old western stuff in Oklahoma. Olympic medalist skier Picabo Street was named after the baby game of "Peek-a-boo". Apparently, her parents were hippie types that wanted to let their kids pick their own names when they got older. They called her "Little Girl" until they were forced to pick a name when they took her to get a passport. Since she like to play "peek-a-boo," they named her after a similar sounding village in Idaho (she's from Idaho). Funniest one I've heard of was a childhood acquaintance of a friend named "sh*thead," pronounced as "SHI-thed." IIRC, this was in east Texas, so if you're around there, look for him. Anyone remember the SNL skit with Nicholas Cage as Mr. A$$wipe (pronounced "AZ-wee-pay")?
I've never had kids but I always thought that if I had a boy I would name him Tad, middle name Pole. If a daughter, Polly middle name Wog
My daughter was in Nordstrom near the perfumes and she heard.... "That's my name, that's my name, that's my name, that's my name" over and over by a little black girl with a southern drawl. Just then she saw her mother yell out "Clinique! get your ass over here right now!" When ever my daughter tell the story with southern accent and all I can't help laugh over and over. Phil
they were discussing this on the radio this morning because a caller said her husband wanted to name their soon to be born son Shaquile ===== Shaquile Fitzberg
