Can you think of a more horrible name for a baby?
What are these parents on?
------------------------------------------ Couple Names Baby after Three Spurs LAST UPDATE: 8/2/2005 9:12:26 PM Posted By: Jim Forsyth This story is available on your cell phone at mobile.woai.com. Lots of people in south Texas are fans of the San Antonio Spurs, but the title of the world's biggest Spurs fans may go to John and Rhonda Till of Greensboro North Carolina. The couple named their baby boy, who was born Sunday, Parker Duncan Ginobili Till, after the NBA champs three superstar players, forward Tim Duncan and guards Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. John Till says his wife was sort of okay with it, but had to be convinced. "My wife really did not want Ginobili," Till told San Antonio's WOAI radio today from his home in Greensboro. "She was fine with Parker Duncan, and in the hospital I was still trying to convince her that we just can't leave him off." He says the eight pound 12 ounce boy will be known as Parker D.G. Till. Till grew up in San Antonio and says he was a big fan of the Spurs back in the eighties, and considered pushing for names of old timers like Artis (Gilmore), George (Gervin) and Larry (Kenon), but decided to back off. Rhonda also lived in San Antonio for six years and Till says she is also an avid Spurs fan. The couple moved to North Carolina in 2001. Till says he didn't even try to convince his wife to add the names of bench players, team trainers, and head coach Gregg Popovich. |

That isn't so bad.
My aunt met a man named Nosmo King when processing paperwork with his name on it. She told me how she remarked to him how his name was so familiar to her, but she knew she has never met him. He told her how he was named: His mother, Mrs. King, was giving birth under heavy sedation. She saw a "Sign from God" that her baby would be named "Nosmo." It had to be a sign from God, right? It sure couldn't have been that in her sedated haze she saw a sign that said NO SMOKING. True story.

I think Brett Favre Rahn would be just as bad, if not worse. But that's just me.
And yes, he actuall floated that name when we were naming the baby.  Last edited by Farrah Whitworth-Rahn : 08-06-2005 at 05:49 AM. |

According to VH1 the dumbest Hollywood baby name belongs to Jason Leigh's baby Pilot Inspecter Leigh.
Of course I like X-files David "Fox Mulder"'s baby;s name Kyd. |

I kind of like the name Parker Duncan. The Ginobili part is stupid.

My dad actually worked with someone named "Noname". (Pronounced "no-nah-me") Apparently, the mother assumed that when they filled out the child's card and they put in "no name" because a first name wasn't given yet, that it was apparently the name that was assigned to her child (or something like that). I'll have to ask him again sometime (either that or wait a little bit at the Holidays...it'll come up at some point, I'm sure).

My friends from China were named Feng and Mei Ling Lee. They were expecting their first child, and were wondering about names. My suggestions didn't go over too well.
I thought a good name would be Real. Then the kid's name would be Real Lee. Then for a middle name, I suggested Ugh. So the full name would be Real Ugh Lee. It was at that point I found out that his wife was proficient in several different forms of Eastern martial arts.

I went to a baseball camp with a guy named Michael Hunt.
He was a bitter, bitter guy. Good times when he missed a day and they called his name out 3 or 4 times, it was like the Simpsons made a guest appearance in real life. |

Any child with the name Michael Jordan _________ has a parent that needs to be shot on sight.
I knew a woman who named her son Allante, after the Cadillac. Knew another woman named Chevelle. I'm waiting on hearing some woman yell at her kid "Escalade, get your ass over here!"

I'm pretty sure Pilot Inspektor Lee is a bad baby name.
Anyway, when I have a kid I'll pretty much name him after a sports player. My wife will have no choice. Last edited by korme : 08-06-2005 at 04:31 PM. |

Before we started having kids, Antmeister wanted to name one of our kids Skid but somehow, Skid Marks didn't sound quite right.

The worst name I've ever known personally (and he is a very nice guy) is:
Richard Lesicko. Of course, he went by Dick. And he is no urban legend. He works at Macalaster College.

I was at an ABA dinner at a hotel. In another one of the conference rooms there was some Oil & Gas dinner going on. We ended up sort of mingling and met some guy from Texas, cowboy hat and all, named... DICK LeCOCK. Yes. No lie. He gave us his business card.

I'll bet a lot of people will be mis-spelling his name then. And if he becomes a baseball player, better teach him to hit. I'd hate to have a sucky kid....

I remember hearing something on the radio when I was at University of MD, where a couple actually named their baby, "Tragedy". I had to laugh, but at the same time wonder if that kid would kill the parents in their sleep as soon as they were old enough to get the meaning? That was probably the worst I ever heard.

Saw this pointed out by a 'punk' singer/writer who is naming a song this on his next album I guess. And I am sure I have heard this name before too.
