First names you find weird, strange 😉

When I worked at Blue Cross, we had two old ladies whose names were Utha and Otha. Yes, they WERE thisters and lived together.

Thisters often do have odd names. LOL. I dated a Danish girl named Ine and later I dated a German girl named Uta. It doesn't take much imagination to realize that put together (in a Scandinavian context) they mean In and Out. I am serious. In Swedish "inne" means to be in (in the house for example) and "ute" means out (to be outside).

In my last job, I dealt with an Indian lady doctor whose first name was Dimple. Can't remember her last name.

One of my first bosses' first name was Dewey. Once again, not unusual, but his last name was Beavers. Of course, I was only 17 and too innocent to get the connotation at the time. Really nice guy, though.

My granddaughter had twins in one of the classes she was teaching.....Lexus and Infiniti.

Jujube: There is an Indian doctor at the medical centre near me, and her name is Precious.
 
I worked with a doc whose last name was Ruff and his secretary's last name was Puff.
My mother dated a guy named Robert Pin as in Bobby Pin.
My sister had a classmate with the first name of Stella. She married a guy with the last name Stella. She became Stella Stella.
I knew of a girl with first name Shanda. Last name Lear.
 
My oldest half sister was named Tevis, I have no idea where that name came from.

I've met a man who's legal first name was Junior, also an Ebenezer. Man named Lesley and two named Carol (father and son), Women named JoBeth, Alex, Stormy, Nyla and Rain.

Years ago my buddy was an EMT and delivered a baby in the ambulance, the mother heard the word placenta and said she liked the way it sounded so was going to name her baby that. Not sure if she did.

Lesley is a very common name in the UK..( Les ) .... and the female version is Leslie .....


My mother knew a Mrs Down.. who named her son Neil.......

My grandmother turned down a marriage proposal because the guys' last name was Beard....
 
No idea where one sister got the name "Kayla" for her kid. My thought: "What? Is the father from Krypton?" Egad, we weren't raised hillbilly.

Turns out this oddball creation had been shat out by some 1980s soap opera.

My chiropractor from years ago had a receptionist named Dreama. I wouldn't say I found her name weird or strange, just unusual. I liked it and have never met anyone else named Dreama.

Unusual is included for the topic. Odd is included too. I tried to find the right words to post but my memory is not what it used to be 😚😊
 
It's probably apocryphal, but the story's about a guy named Nosmo King.

When asked about how he got his name, he replied that his mother got it from a sign she saw when she was giving birth.

Yep, the sign said, NO SMOKING.

A family who lived near us when we were stationed overseas named their daughter "Honey", but when the birth certificate came, it said "Hokey". They decided they liked it and left it that way. Hokey....

It took a few weeks to get my daughter's birth certificate, so every piece of identification I had for her was in the name of "Infant Girl ________". We had a friend who called her that for years.
