And your surprised? Many (typically crack kids) are named after household goods or groceries.

Dead serious, although I'm guessing on the spelling.

Actually, "LaTanya" is a fairly common name here in Atlanta, so I think mom just changed a letter and didn't think about what she was phonetically spelling.

**True story**

A guy I used to work with in Burlington went to Alamance Community College (ACC). During his first day of shop class, the teacher was calling out the roll. He went through the names until he just stopped dead in his tracks. He stared at it, scratched his head and looked up and said:

"Sh!t head??"

This black girls answer back quickly, "It's Sha-theed [the way it's supposed to be pronounced]"

He said the class just burst out into laughter.

Hmm....I've heard many variations of that story. Kinda like the Lemongelo/Orongelo twins whose mom really like Jell-O.

Yes, but don't think stupid names are ever limited to one race. You should hear some of the crazy pretentious blue-blood-lawyer-in-training names the kids at my daughter's school have; Chase, Cooper, Prentiss, Raleigh, etc. They sound absolutely insane when applied to a two year-old.

Yep. Sad, but true.

I lived a couple blocks from Ben Dover. Poor kid, dumb parents.

 

[speed01]

When I was in school we had the Hammer family... Two boys and a girl.... The girls name was Beverly which was fine, she was in the same grade as me but her brothers were older so they were obviously in higher grade levels. Care to guess their names???

He appears to be in an exlusive, 37-member club.

whoa, stop right there. One of my son's names is Chase, and I'm no blue-blood-lawyer-in-training. :|

And if you saw this spastic, crazy devil you'd understand why his name is Chase.

I new a guy whose name was Oral Hope. Now, if your last nape is Hope, why would you name your child Oral?????
