These are true stories that have happened to me within the past week...
Story #1:
Last week I went to a poetry spot and somehow (don't ask, because the truth is I don't know) the host started talking about bad baby names. I'm paraphrasing here...She said something to the effect of "I have a friend who is a pre-school teacher and she had this cute little girl in her class named Dia...I'm thinking Dia that's different but cute, my friend said that's not her name I just refuse to call her by her FULL name...which is... Chalmydia."
A girl in the audience spoke up and she said "you think that's bad, I work in a NICU and we just had a baby in there name G'noreah (pronounced like Je-nora)"
Story #2:
So last night I went to another open mic poetry reading. While I was standing outside this girl walks by with this little brown baby--I mean so cute I almost swore it was a doll. Absolutely precious little girl with fat cheeks in a little warm suit because it was kinda chilly...you know I had to ask...
Me: "What's her name?"
(I'm sorry I am spelling this by phonetics)
Girl: "O-be-di-ji-ah."
Me: "Say that again"
Girl: "O-be-di-ji-ah."
me thinking to self: wish I had not left my phone at home, feeling the need to blog this immediately.
Smh. And I'm done. Poor precious baby.

i kind of like the second name. and i hope to god that the folks from the first one were just kidding.
Nah I think they were serious and it was pronounced like Cla-ma-dia.
SMH.
As for the second one...ugh! I guess I'm just glad she didn't say something worse. But you know me...my first thought was Obi wan kenobi. ROTFL
