My rage of the day

[starrieskies]

One of the guys I work with was having it out with his wife the other day because she wanted to name their baby girl Claire Annette. She didn't understand why this was not a good idea.

I know this one!

My friend Pinky Pinkerton* was so named because Pinky was her father's nickname.


*not real name

Don't be talking about my baby like that.

There's a sign here in town on a building that's available for lease. The only contact info on the sign is an email address for a gentleman named Peter Dicks.

I <3 his parents.

I worked with a James James years ago. I couldn't help thinking that his parents didn't burn many brain cells coming up with that one.

OK, I have heard of people with names like this and I used to work with one. The first name he used was actually just a nickname, so think Steve Steven. He just used the name Steve as a nickname because his real first name was Francis or something.

My sister dated a guy named Will William Williams. We called him Bill.

I'm glad that one didn't last.

I went to high school with a Benjamin Dover and he went by Ben.

I also had this friend whose mom got pregnant and their last name is Keister. The dad made jokes about wanting to name the kid Harry.

I went to school with a Brian O'Brian an a Kelly Kelly.

I live in Wisconsin, so there are Tommy Thompson signs everywhere.

One of my contacts at work is Willie Williams. I'm sure his first name is probably William.

I know! I'm sorry, I couldn't think of a better example. I didn't want to use her real name and I got stuck on the Ps.

I encountered this a lot when I lived in South Carolina. Someone told me it was a Southern thing to do and I accepted it as gospel truth because, chances are, if something is dumb, it has a Southern origin.
