People with Stupid NamesThere are hundreds of unfortunate people out there with silly names desparately coping with the evil their parents perpetrated upon them at birth.
So far, I've met a woman called Rusty Tharp, a child health consultant called Peter Files and have the business card for "Fab Boolaky" on my desk.
We'd like you to tell us about the people you've met or work with that have silly, inappropriate or frankly wierd names.

The neighbor kidsThe older one, she's bred true white trash (sadly)*, that's for sure... and her name? Akasha (Queen of the Damned Kids Who Don't Let Me Sleep In Late)
She got a sunburn recently. I giggled.
Do you think people's parents even THINK about what it'll be like for their children in school? When we named our daughter, we made lists, then we tried to think up ways to tease the names on the lists. The names with the fewest amount of teases were the keepers.
*I don't want to sound elitist, but its true, the kid's mom is trash; the girl herself seems like she might have some hope (at least when she's not behaving like a wild child). I'll admit that I'm flat broke, but I ain't po' white trash - a good Texas girl can tell the difference.
Hrm, and I once worked with a girl who's name tag read "Knatache" - why would her parents not just name her "Natasha" or "Tasha"? I always teased her and called her Nuh-tache (ryhmes with moustache) but we were friends... she teased me over my name too! Eventually we traded name tags.
