A CU, Where Regs Don't Apply
|
A good friend is trying to come up with names for her twin boys on the way in a couple months. She's really pushing for Bruce and Wayne, but I don't think that's going to happen.
"Danger" has been thrown out for the middle name for both!
Guy I knew in college had the last name Die, he's a dentist now, Dr. Die.

A co-worker's friend from college named her kid Oranjello---because she really liked Orange Jello.

crunchy
Adjective. Used to describe persons who have adjusted or altered their lifestyle for environmental reasons. Crunchy persons tend to be politically strongly left-leaning and may be additionally but not exclusively categorized as vegetarians, vegans, eco-tarians, conservationists, environmentalists, neo-hippies, tree huggers, nature enthusiasts, etc. Also used to describe establishments where alternative foods and products are sold, i.e. natural food stores. ---------------------------------------
I would add that there is nothing wrong with being environmentally aware, or having a healthy lifestyle- IMHO, "crunchy" people take it to the extreme- No dyes, only wooden toys, etc

I have run across a Candy Kane and a Forrest Green over the course of my life. A guy I knew with the last name "Key" always joked that he was going to name his first daughter Dawn.

I'm aware of a person who changed their middle name to "Kills" and last name to "Enemies".
She's a biker, but not overly intimidating otherwise.

My maiden name was Pitt. LOTS of jokes about that one.
Used to work with a woman who's daughter went to school with a boy named DeCorate - although pronounced differently than decorate.
