Crazy names

I saw a story on the news, they were talking to a woman and her name was
Applemania.

These "culture" names are ridiculous.
Cant' blame the person with that name but the parents, what were they thinking.

The parents are putting the kids behind the 8 ball. Resume call backs are two to one on regular names.
When I see Shaqelly the King Johnson on a resume, it goes in the trash. It’s not the kids fault, but it tells you they were raised by idiots and probably will become an idiot.

I am an old relic that’s timeout and ready to retire as I toss the He/Him resumes in the trash as well.

It’s a solid stereo type as very few of our stupid name entry level folks ever advance. A few over 35 years.

I’ve seen some doozies over the years on booking reports. We had a couple with nick names that stood out. One was “ monkey poo” another was “ hang dang”. “Toe boy” and “Onion man” were a couple other distinct ones. I knew one called “Tercell”, said he was conceived in the back seat of a Toyota.

Soon as I got 18, I'd change mine.

And the MORON parents who might give a relatively "normal" name and then change the spelling to something cookey....

Can you imagine how many times that person will have to spell out their name aloud over the span of their lifetime?

Sean does not spell Shawn.

I can't say half the names of people I work with ....Don't even know how they even spell their names ......Example ...Teeondablu

Now with my hard core southern mountain accent ...I don' even try because I know I'm saying it wrong.....:unsure::unsure:...Teeondablu

A good friend was in the hospital giving birth to her first born. She overheard the nurses talking about another mom who just named her baby Sue-phillis

Sad....generations of ignorance making choices to remain so.... saddling their offspring with such names then sending them forth in the world to overcome more than just their upbringing.

I would gladly work harder to learn the pronunciations and spellings if the males would only do one thing.....FATHER their children.

I know it is a stretch but the American family is quickly becoming a fractured scattering of baby mommas and males that simply roam where they wish and can't be bothered to be fathers.

You know most all classical names were just made up at some point as well. But yes they could make up some better names, than kool aid and jello or whathaveyou.

Most of the odd named people are giving nicknames or street names as they grow up. They wind up being an initial or a Tay.
I dont even try to spell names when I’m gathering information for a fire report. I just give them the paper and tell them to write their name.
