I've posted before about the woman who wanted her daughter's name to be similar to Regina, but with it's own difference. She gave her daughter a name that rhymed with it: Vagina.

Worst one I've heard of if the mother who called her daughter la-Li.
When the nurse asked for "laa lee" she threw a tantrum, telling everyone who would listen the name was pronounced "la dash lee"How ever do they manage to breathe for themselves without having to call tech support? - Argabarga

If this is the same Elongated Hexagon Inn that I think it is (where I also now work) you can summon security by picking up any phone, pressing 0 and saying help, or (I think) just putting the phoned down on the counter.
Also, call the cops if a verbal threat is made. Period. Use the landline phone and they can trace it. Go to a locked office if you don't feel safe. You never know when some hothead is going to snap."I try to be curious about everything, even things that don't interest me." -Alex Trebek

As for the grumpy old man, he was just that: old. A decrepit old pile with mercenary fantasies. I could have easily outrun him or barring that, kicked out one of his wobbly old legs beneath him and sent him down to break his dentures on the floor. He can go to hell, and as old as he was, there's a good chance he's already there.Drive it like it's a county car.

Quoth Ben_Who View PostAfter 1/3 of every female born in the 1970s was named "Jennifer," parents went a little overboard trying to give their kids unique names

Somewhere on a another thread here I think I told the story of a friend of my sister's...
The woman worked in a hospital and claimed that a new mother tried to name her newborn daughter "Chlamydia" because she'd heard the word and thought it was pretty. Telling her what it really was did not dissuade her, so they told her it was illegal to name your kid after diseases and she finally picked something else.
I really don't know if that was a true story. I kind of hope not.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

Completely off the original topic, but relevent to the names discussion...
My sister works in a NICU (neonatal icu). She says it's a little terrifying, the number of times she's had to say "Nevaeh? What a lovely name! How did you come up with it?"

Quoth BPFH View PostI heard this in my 8th grade science class repeatedly:
Teacher: "Okay, BPFH, Gretchen, whose paper is this?"
My handwriting has not improved since then, and a work assignment like this wouldn't give me much incentive...Engaged to the amazing Marmalady. She is my Silver Dragon, shining as bright as the sun. I her Black Dragon (though good honestly), dark as night..fierce and strong.

Quoth Bardmaiden View PostHi, my name is Jennifer and I was born in 1977 and there was three Jennifer's in my year at school My sister got the unique name as we were unexpected twins
Me, OTOH, was born back in 1969 and my first name was not a usual name for a girl (let's just say it could be gender neutral depending on spelling)
My middle name is the one I go by . . . and I think every girl born in the late 60's/early 70's had the same middle name I do. Yet I didn't have the trouble of going through /w anyone else using that name b/c most of them were using their first names.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)
