Met another lady with a child whose name I can't even spell out here, it incorporated quite a nasty word but with emphasis on creative pronunciation, it sounded fine if you didn't see it spelled out. Why do people do that to kids?

When I was still doing hair there was a lady named Doris Day that came in. Her son and I were in the same grade. The first time she called for an appointment and told them her name the shop owner hung up on her because she thought it was a joke.

How could I forget Precious Flowers???? Taught her many years ago. Went to school with a Lady Washington.
Then there's "fruh-jill-ay". Mother named her after seeing that beautiful name on something in the delivery room. Spelled: Fragile.

When I lived in Texas there was an article in the Houston paper about sisters named Ima Hogg and Ura Hogg, bet they had a lof of fights in school. My sister's OB Doctor was Dr Done, her last nme was Overly so on the bassinet card it read Overly Done. The Dr who did my daughter's tonsilectomy was Dr Bushwhacker.
