  Maverick

  Any first name that is the same as the last name; Peter Peters, Mike Micheals, Bill Williams...you get the idea.

  Any name that sounds obscene when said together; Harry Balls, Mike Hunt, Dick Longdong...you get the idea.

  Any dynasy names; John Paul the 83rd! This guarantees an a** kicking all through grade school!

  Any gender-bender names; Leslie, Billy, Pat, Mickey. I know I'll catch heat for this one but kids are confused enough without this burden! Maverick.... Who wanted to name any male child Savage Maverick. The wife wanted Vinny. I told her me would name him Savage Maverick but call him Vinny...he'd just be confused!

  UnderCover,

  I see you're an Ann Rice fan...me too.

  OK, the top of my list is

  YONKALA...when I was 18 and out in Washington I met a couple, Greg and Carmella, their daugher was Kim, and their son...Yonkala...go figure...I later found out it's a Jewish name, but not sure why they named him this...they must have REALLY hated him...or been high...as an aside Carmella attempted to pull a Mrs Robinson with me, and I was too naive to know what was going on...

  other names NOT to call my kids...

  Dirk

  Biff

  Dagwood

  Daisy

  Damsel

  Delilah

  Clamydia (my son told me the girl in his science class thought Clamydia would be a pretty name for a girl if it weren't an STD).

  Yes Yeru, Chlamydia is a bad name for a child. I met a black woman named Aryan and another one name Rotunda. Both very bad choices!

  I would never name a child:

  Oswald, Genghis, or Svetlana.

  Don't even get me started. When my Dub mother was still talking to me she would bring home lists of atrocious names of children referred to her office. (she works in children's social services) I think the worst was from a 17 year old mother who named her child, get ready for this,

  Shithead. She pronounced it ShaTeed. I swear.

  Then there was Vagina. It was pronounced VaGeena.

  My physiatrist told me that he had a JW couple that was bringing their daughter to see him. They had named her Armageddon. I don't remember what her middle name was, but it was weird to, like Armageddon Nomore. (or something like that)
