A Unique Name

[sake]

Literally. An 8th grader in my school's name is Unique.  ^o)

I didn't just find this out, but I am working on the 8th grade graduation program, and it jumped out at me again. 

[panicked]

There was a girl on MTV's True Life with that name as well. She was a stripper.

There is a woman where I work named Comfort.

We also have a 7th grader named Amazing.
She is pretty awesome, but HOW DID HER PARENTS KNOW THAT SHE WOULD BE AMAZING? what if she sucked? lol.

Well, at least it isnt spelled 'Eweneek'.

I went to college with a Uniq, pronounced like Unique; she was an awesome person and totally owned her name.

But I also went to HS with twins named Treasure and Precious who definitely did NOT live up to their names.

My BFFs neighbor had twins and named them Mercedes and Bentley.

She drove a Geo Prizm.

Ever see the list of Mayflower passengers' names? Some of those were pretty odd:

Love (or Truelove, possibly), Humility, Desire, Remember, Wrestling, Oceanus, Resolved

I had a TA in college named Patience.

I actually really like that name. I also kind of like Prudence. But I'd never use either one.

When I was in HS, we had two Freshmen sisters... One was named Passion & the other was Destiny. When I heard their names, I immediately made this face  *-)  . I have no idea what some parents are thinking when they name their children.

She could be. I don't know her well. She just started. It's appropriate as she is a nurse's assistant so she will be bringing comfort to people!

I had twins in my class named Prince and Princess. The mom's name was, obviously, Queen.

[snickers]

oh no.

[margotmacomber]

I worked with a girl named Princess.  She was really funny, but still.

We have a first grader named King! lol!

One of my coworkers has the middle name Unique. She also has an odd first name but shortens it. She's pretty cool and totally owns the name though.
I've heard Patience a lot. I also went to AIT with a girl named Princess. She went by her middle name. But can you imagine the hell she must have gone through in boot camp with a name like Princess? Poor girl.

[fuckyourcouch]

no.

I had a student named Delicious. She was a sweetheart, and went by Dee. Also from Africa, but I'm not sure which part.
