Good Morning Groanies,

Thanks to all of those proactive readers that send me crazy names, crazy stories involving crazy names, and crazy crazy names crazy crazy. My thought train kind of derailed on the last thing there.

So now I will share with you some of these classic, hilarious and unbelievable name related entries in the "What in the hopscotch hell were these (for lack of a better term of classification) "people" thinking in those slow-leaking noggins of theirs?"

Steve,
I have a good weird name for you. My mom was a teacher and a little girl in her class was named Le-a. The girls mother got so upset that teachers kept calling her daughter Lea, that she scheduled a meeting to teach them how to pronounce her daughter's name. It's pronounced Leh Dash Uh (Le = Leh, - = Dash, a = Uh). I think it would have been hilarious if someone would have pointed out that technically her name should be Leh Hyphen Uh. - Keith
[When my wife and I have our second kid, regardless of gender, we are going with the name %-Taj (percentage) or ,-tose (commatose).]

Many years ago, my dad pulled a guy over for speeding. The guys name was "Asad Experience" (don't remember the last name, but was something common like Jones or smith). These folks really had a problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Brad
[I know and your dad pulled him over.]

I live in Southern IL, and have come across some good ones. There's one guy, who had triplets, two boys, and one girl: He named the boys Colt, and Remington. He named the girl Berretta. Another good ol' boy named his son Beau Hunter (first & middle). Those are the few that stuck out in my head. - Ben
[Did you ever run across Bowie Knife, Tree Stand, Buck Shot or Bear Trap?]

A school mate named her daughter: Yestada Tamarow Daylyn. Born in the 1970s. Don't remember the year exactly, but we were just out of highshool and I graduated in 1973, so sometime after that. The mother would always get angry when someone (especially me) made fun of the name by calling the child Yesterday, Tomorrow, Daylin. She would say it is all in the pronounciation. I say, bullshit, you branded that child for life. - Cheryl
[Was Bullshit the name of her mother or did I read that wrong?]

I had cousins named Sleet, Snow and Chillion (pronounced Chillin'). Seriously, these were their legal names. All are dead now. They were from their father's second marriage and were born when he was in his late sixties and early seventies. How's that for strange? - MBrad10590
[Better those names than Low Pressure System, Scattered Showers or Humidity, am I right?]

Great stuff from my readers. Wouldn't you agree? You better!

More name shenanigans coming up in Wednesday's issue.

Groaningly yours,
Steve
