As if I don't have enought things to do besides starting yet another blog...
However, this one is special (and by request I might add).
For years, I have been keeping tabs on strange names. Don't ask why...I just find it completely facinating when parents find the urge to name their children something as assinine as TyLenol (yes that IS a real name).
So I've been keeping a list... and the list turned into some rules...and the rules have turned into a potential book which I am still currently working on.
So my friends keep coming at me with odd ball names. The list keeps getting bigger and so now by request I'm going to share. I don't make these up. I couldn't even if I wanted to. I try to double check that these are legitimate. Most of the names I research myself for purposes of the book so I can both qualify and verify that somewhere this name does exist (no matter how outrageous they may seem.
I welcome people to submit names. They must be real names. You don't have to include the last name unless the combination together makes it qualify for weirdness (i.e. April Showers). And please no urban legend names... Orangello/Lemonjello do exist somewhere in the universe I'm sure because someone always knows someone who knows them.
Know a weird name...
As I stated in the first blog... feel free to submit names. They must be real names. No urban legend names like Orangello/Lemonjello. You don't have to submit last names unless the combination makes it funny. You can also submit celebrity baby names.
Strange names come in a few categories...there are names that are weird just for the sake of being weird, names that might seem normal until you see them spelled out etc. etc. If you're not sure if a name really qualifies read the "Rules of Names." If it breaks more than 1...usually it's a winner.
As a reminder, if your name is on here--this is meant to be entertaining...but if it makes the list it must be pretty weird.
