Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Kids Names???

[bleep]. Wait till you run into a kid named Reebok, or Snikkerdudle

I have Chris and Gunner. Both pronounced exactly like they should be.

My elementary school bus driver was named Mercedes.

She name her kid Benz.

I grew up with a "boy named Sue" name, in the real west. Don't do it to your kid.


There will be mud, blood, and beer, but not in a good way.

I had a young black student once whose first name was Senator.

I am not making this up.

Kind of sad, actually.

Where the hell do you think Reebok and Snickerdudle came from, sure as hell wasn't white farm folk.

Along with Nike
Preshaun
Quinsheeka
Deejon
Marcaheeshio
And Amareto

Not nick names either.

Worked with a white guy back in the early 70s during the summer down in No Georgia....Butch woke up with a hangover and on a honey moon with some ugly gal he had met a week or two before...

but she had everything most morons in No Georgia wanted in those days.. she put out... before he could get it annulled, turns out she is pregnant and has a daddy who owned a 12 gauge and wasn't afraid to use it..

so they stayed together and he had a little girl.. which he named Chevelle.....we use to ask him what he was going to name the next kid if it was a boy... which his response was "SuperSport"....

then he'd finish with, you know what a "Super Sport" is? a guy who carries monogrammed rubbers in a flip top box...

of course this was in No Georgia the summer they filmed Deliverance, about 25 miles to the East.. and most of the background characters were actually locals....so it shows what we had to work with down there...

we named ours Karen & David. Had a coach Bell in school that named his girl Liberty, as in Liberty Bell. Said the next one would be taco.

My wife and daughter were in the office going over intern applications. My wife asked why would some folks would name their kids such strange names and my daughter Kateen turned and just looked at her.

Some guy here at the Campfire a year or two ago was bragging about naming his own son Lake.

Sheesh.

Anyone remember the Nebraska football player named Wonderful Mons?

I couple in the next town from where I grew up had twin girls, decided that was enough, and named them Alpha and Omega.

Went to school with a JoyAnn Love, but that's about the weirdest in my experience. Parents were hippies. Go figure. Named Mine Emma and Caleb. Pretty basic, but unusual at the time.

I was told my boys names were 'different'. They're name Langdon and Gunnison. We decided we wanted some interest in their names without being to abstract. I think we've done that.

The names in the OP are just out there. Simple names, messed with quite a bit. And from now until eternity, anytime their name is called, you can be sure they will be goofed up. I don't get that.

Ohh...partner just reminded me of thw pavement aper we arrested named Uwu, pronounce ooooo....

I guess I wish more children had Christian names like Joseph, Daniel, Samuel and Mary, Paul and such.......


P.S. I knew I guy named Richard Hummer who was nice enough to name his son Richard Hummer Jr. poor kid.

I can not recall at the moment but one of the Scandinavian countries has a nationally approved list of names that children can be named. No exceptions. It was a big issue a few years ago when there was a legal challenge to the law. Never did hear how it turned out.

The names have a much larger impact on hiring decisions that one might expect. After more than 30 years of doing human resources work including being a full time recruiter - parent that give their kids unusual and/ or strongly ethnic names are doing their kids no favors.
