First names you find weird, strange 😉

[JustBonee]

Not a strange name, but my MIL wanted to name her last daughter Michael for some reason. … ended up naming her Susan Michael.
Guess she got too much negative feedback.

I only know people with weird last names.

911...mentioned the name Garnett.

I went to school with a girl named Garnet and her sister's name was Amber. They lived next door to the gas station their dad owned and kept guinea pigs as pets. Good people.

I can't remember if it was my first wife's OB/GYN, or my sister's, but I'll never forget his name:

Dr. In Hur, OB/GYN.

Pretty sure he was Vietnamese. Or maybe Cambodian...somewhere in SE Asia.

Some parents get carried away with ‘themes’. lol

My mother hated her first name and always went by her middle name. Her first name was Matah. I always liked that name, but then again I didn't have to live with it.

I remember a lady from Italy whose baby son was christened Giaconda.

My father's mother's name was Honorah, but they called her Amelia.

My mother's Minister was named Pixie Butt.
She signed all of her correspondence...get this...drum roll...
"Pix Butt"
You can't make this stuff up, folks!

While I was a in patient at Toronto Western Hospital recently, one of the Nurses was named Princess Margaret Mabbali. She was from Botswana in Africa. Another Nurse from the Philippines had the first name of Precious. I once met a guy whose full name was William Black Snake, a Mohawk from the Six Nations reserve, near Brantford, Ontario. JIM.

I thought you were back from your hospital ordeal but soon realized that you were talking about last year..Can’t wait to see you again

Don't forget George Foreman, who named all 5 of his sons "George"

We had a Vietnamese dentist here in town named Phuc Huu Pham. Now, I'm aware that Phuc is pronounced "PUCK", but still.....

I had to giggle everything I passed his office, which was frequently. I have the emotional maturity of a 14-year-boy sometimes.

There was a boy who went to school with one of my kids.. his first name was Jackson.. wouldn't be unusual, except his father's name was Jack.

That is the way the Scandinavians came up with last names like Erick's son, Hans' son, Jack's son, etc, but I always wondered what came next... Jack Jacksons'-son?
