I've told the story more than once about the woman I knew back in the '70s. She said her son was the only solid thing in her life, so she named him Concrete.

I remember news article few years ago about couple who named their children after Hitler's cabinet. :nope: Oldest son's first name was Adolf and second name was Hitler. Same thing with other kids. :down: I don't remember their surname anymore.

Try "Skwir'll" :D Now that is English with this terrible German accent that I always try to avoid at all costs :haha: - but I cannot help it. I cannot get it correctly out of my throat, too. Must be some difference in Teutonic and Anglosaxon anatomy.

Terrible word. Terrible.

I'm not exactly sure how a name that means "light wind" could really be embarrassing. I've heard of stranger names then that, there was someone who named their child Hashtag (i.e Twitter), theres still one that I've never forgotten was someone who was on an episode of Modern Marvels (I think) whos name was....Lunchbox!!! Plus some of the names celebs give their kids can really be embarrassing!
