Yeah, it's late. That time of night when stupid thoughts creep to the forefront of my mind.

Such as a trio of names for girl triplets:

Belva, Velma, and Melba.

Ok, that's it, I'm done. What's your stupid thought for the night?

Are you planning to need those names?

ha ha ha!!!!!!

That's quite a tongue twister!

My thought is that I know 3 little girls who will want to change their names when they grow up. :-)

Those name are mild compared to some of the name I have heard lately. Congrats on your uniqueness.

Melba toast? I've never heard of Belva. I'm always looking for old fashioned names to use on my quilt blocks. Got any more?

I think I will add Melba to my list! I remember hearing that one before.

I'm sorry, but those names are as bad as the twins that were named Clorox and Ajax back in the 40's. LOL

I have friends who were nurses a few years ago. They said they would offer up "made up" names to some of the mothers who hadn't decided on a name. Some of them actually took the names to heart. Some I remember are...Placenta, Le mon jel lo, and O range jel lo ( both pronouced as accented here. haha

My two beautiful GGDs are named Bergeron and Huxley. I wonder what their mother was thinking.

Once you work for the school system you will know what odd names are

La-mon-jah-l0 (Lemonjello) and O-ron-jah-lo (Orangejello), lemon and orange jello

Fi-mal-lee (Female), the family first language wasn't english

Johnquail(John Quail) & Jonquil, they were named after street signs.

I personally knew a kindergartener named Sha-heed spelled Shi*head.

Forgot one!

E-phant (Infant) again, ESL

Their mom is going to have a hard time keeping them straight and not stumble on her tongue when calling them to dinner!

Oh yes I pity the poor teachers now who have to figure out how to pronounce the new names, the spellings, if it is male or female etc.

I could of swore you lived in my town.....I worked for the Welfare Office for almost 30 years and these are some of the names I saw also. We really got some weird ones, I remember one name that had EVERY letter of the alphabet in it and the mother couldn't even pronounce it.

I forgot that we also had a lady who named all of her kids devil names....Lucifer, Demon, Satan and there were a few others that I can't remember. But we just couldn't believe someone would do this tho their children.

There was an author named Belva Plain (she passed away last year).


I agree with cjomomma: These triplets would not be happy with their names!

But you asked what my stupid late-night thoughts are... who's thinkin' at this hour? Since we're talking odd names for triplets, how about...
Phyllis, Dilys and Amaryllis?
Horace, Horton and Hortense?

Oh We had one like that. His father didn't even know how to spell it. We all called him AJ. His middle name was Jehosephat.

Can't say too much, I have a cousin who is named Samantha Emmaline followed by a big long Polish last name starting with KW and ending with SKI and all kinds of letters in between, lol

I never liked my name so I wouldn't put it on my son...but he used it as a middle name for one of his twins...poor baby....I rad that you never want to name a child that would cause the child embarrassment...A co-worker of mine way back in the 70's whose last name was Flower named his daughter PURPLE

My cousin named her daughter after a singer she liked at the time. Teeocha Marie is her daughter's name. It's pronounced Tee ock uh It's an American Indian name I believe. The girl is in her 30s now.

Seems the most recent trend is giving first names that sound like last names... like McKenzie - that's the only one I can think of cuz my brain is sleeping, like I should be!

See --- should be in bed... sorry about the double post!

Hm, yeah, and I don't like some of them. Here are some more:

Madison
Bailey
Sawyer
Saylor
Taylor
Schuyler

My mother had twins in 1966. For a while there was a question as to whether or not there would be three new babies. My mother had planned to name them Carla Kay, Marla Mae and Darla Day. Fortunately there were only two of them and they ended up to be Carla Sue and Darla Lou, lol! And yes, they are identical.

My son likes the word brindle as in "The pretty brindle pony". When he and his girlfriend chose their baby's name they wanted to call her Brindle but didn't want people to think about it as the name of a color so they changed the spelling to Brendlle. Go figure!

A million years ago when I'd only been married for a few months I lived next door to a family who had boy-girl twins named Danny Lee and Dannilee.....
Not a tongue twister as some of the names above but I always wondered how the twins would know who was being called??

yes, I hate those kind of names - sound like last names AND you can't tell if it's a girl or boy.

I call them "dead president" names
MacKinley
Tyler
Taylor
Madison
etc...

Bailey always makes me think of a big black Lab my uncle had by that name. But them Luke makes me think of a basset hound across the street.

I sometimes wonder what my MIL was thinking, she named her oldest, Ricky and my hubby, Robie, (really said Robbie). Not bad names when they were kids, but seems odd as 50+ year old men.

I knew a man who got the nickname "Tookie" as a kid and it stuck with him his whole life.

Also in my DH's family there were 3 generations of "John"s - when the 4th came along they started calling him John-John - I predicted it would not last beyond his first school days, I was right. He is back to being John.

Remember the "First Lady of Texas" Ima Hogg and she had brothers with similar names.

Yikes!! I can't believe what parents do to their children. We had an elementary school teacher in our town named Alan Allen, my DH knew twins named Itchy & Scratchy (yes, on their birth certificates!) and my neighbor had four sons named Larry, Gary Terry & Jerry.

Go back to sleep, Nan... dream quilt fabric!

Okay, just had to jump in here. Peter Trinkle..Seriously... Even worse, and this is true- Twin girls born in Virginia Beach, named Seph-il-E-ous and Gen-AR-ia. Say it out loud....Guess mama read the female sexual health brochures....LOLOL

That's what I was thinking! Although I like Piper Grace and Declen.

I worked for a credit card authorization call in for a bank in the early 70's. We got a call for authorization on a purchase and the guys name was "Large ????" I got to talking to one of the other employees and asked "Who names their child Large? She said the same person that named his brother "Small". The names in themselves weren't that bad but when combined with their last name was really insensitive on the parents part. Mr and Mrs Peters sentenced Small to a life of snickering. Ann in TN

My grandmother's name was Nora, sisters were Cora and Dora and they weren't triplets....other sister was Lillian, go figure ????

Lol, i have heard some weird names. However after i meet my DH, i realize that i can no longer in the camp of What where THEY thinking..now im in the What was I think? My step daughter's name is Agasgv Alasgidahno which is Cherokee for "One who dances the Rain" and then We named my son Wayha Dekanogia which means "Wolf who sings"..but i was smart and put Connor as my sons middle name just on the slight chance that he didn't want to use His first name lol =)

I worked with someone whose last name was DOLLAR. She named her daugher PENNY. Hopefully the daughter married and took her husband's surname ... unless it was something like 'Wise' or 'Henny'.

I belong to what were my great grandparents and my parents thinking. I was named after my grandmother, whom I loved dearly. Her name and mine is Olyar. Pronounced Ol-YER with the emphasis on yer. Thank God, my middle name is Faye. I have never found the origin of the name or heard of anyone else that has it.

Why Lillian, and not Laura?

Bertha, Beulah, Blanche.

I wonder if the "Quilt Elves" will come and help me with the problem I have with my paper pieced airplane quilt? Not one block is the same size and none are the size they were supposed to be. Back to the drawing board.

I had a friend who's aunt was named Vesta Dessie.
