Giving your kids a name!
New parents are always coming up with different kinds of names for their children. I remember the old song by Johnny Cash, A boy named Sue, and thought how life would be with a name like that especially for a guy,lol
But, it doesn't sound so bad now after reading what this set of nutjobs named their kids!! http://specials.msn.com/a-list/news/...-popular-pages

My mother used to work with a lady named Candy Cane. Cute when she was 6 months old, but when trying to be a senior manager with that name......

Brick! Where on earth does that name come from? I only know it from two TV series (Outnumbered, The Middle). OK so that's TV, but surely that means more will definitely be out there, if not before then after those shows.
No offence if you're called Brick, but . . . On the Balls theme, I went to school with John Balls - a right numpty! Thick as pigswill. Oh, and I honestly knew a kid in our teens called Phil McCracken.

I remember having read about a girl named "Jessica Karabin" (karabin= a rifle). First of all, if you have such an original (tho i would never call it stupid since we kinda can't choose that etc) name as "a rifle" why the heck do you name your daughter "Jessica"? Too many US soap operas? Jesus...There are plenty of casual and "good" first names like Anna or Maria (Ann, Mary)... And my favorite: an English name Brian turned into "Brajan" (a phonetic transcription)
