I went to high school with a guy named Fiat. His younger brother's name was Ford. The parents apparently like cars.

If I had been born a boy my parents had picked the name 'Ford'. When my parents were expecting my younger sister (2 years later) the same. When our younger brother was born 2 years after her he was named Kelly.

[quote=Duchess Skittles]My maiden name was Pitt. LOTS of jokes about that one. Try having the maiden name Parrott (pronounced like the bird)...."Awwk, Dani wanna cracker?" Played football with a guy named Parrot. People would ask him that, occasionally. When tipsy he was known to grab them by the collar and pull them really close and ask "Why? Have you got one?!?!" The he would laugh and walk away. He was an odd sort...

Our former legal counsel's name was Tom Brady. He did say that when he signed up for a tee-time at cetain golf courses they would practically roll out the red carpet ..... which was then hurridly rolled back up when they saw a 70+ year old man rather than the QB
My mom also works in L&D at the hospital and says that once a patient thought that the name the hospital had given to her baby girl was so pretty she would keep it. FEMALE(she pronounced it fe-ma-lay)but honestly she thought that the hospital named the kid LOL

He did not do that to draw away attention that soccer is not a sport (hi Happy)?

Fancy - wasn't that an old Reba McIntire song? It is, and it's a great song- The video is pretty good too. Of course, it's about a poor lady who told her daughter to "be nice to the gentleman Fancy, and they'll be nice to you" So maybe not the name i'd give my child. I LOVE old Reba. We have a family here 1 boy- Luke. 3 girls- Faith, Hope, & Grace. And all 3 girls have the most Beautiful Singing voices.

Heard a story about a girl named Ladasha, which in itself isn't too bad. But, that's not how it was spelled. Her parents spelled her name "La-a". See? La dash a.

I heard that same story, only they spelled it "Le-a" (the e is supposed to have the little ` thingie over it but I don't know how to make my keyboard do that). Part of the story I got was that the mother told hospital staff to spell it "L, e, comma to the top, dash, a." ETA: methinks this is probably urban legend.
