I totally overslept this morning!

I don't know what it is, but I ache all over, even my hands.

1. Tell me a joke?

2. What is one unique name you would consider naming your child?

3. What is one name you really can't stand and why?

1. This one was told to me by a two-year old, who collapsed in fits of hysterical laughter at the punch line:
"CHIK'N KOSS WODE? UDDER SIDE! HAH!"

2. I am not a fan of unique names. Period.

3. Any name that is spelled non-traditionally is one I can't stand. You set up your kid for a lifetime of correcting other people to misspell a perfectly decent name, making them (and you) look like a moron.

1. Ask me if I'm a truck.
2. Artemis.
3. Jessica. Ugh.

No.

(Ok that's funnier if you tell it in person.)

1. So there is this really evil dude. He pulls out his prisoner and tells him, "Listen up. I'm going to ask you one question. Answer it wrong and you die. Answer it right, and you go home." The prisoner looks nervous, but agrees to this. So the evil dude calls out eight gorgeous naked women and puts them into a line. The first faces forward. The second, back. Third, forward. Fourth, back. Fifth, forward. And the sixth, seventh, and eighth each face back. Evil dude looks at his prisoner. "Name that song," he says. Prisoner takes one look at these beautiful naked women and laughs. "That's easy," he crows. "It's the William Tell Overture." Evil dude gasps. "Wha... how... huh! How could you know that?" Prisoner smirks. "Titty rump titty rump titty rump rump rump."

2. I'm not into crazy names. My favorite name is Fiona.

3. Sabine. My best friend has prejudiced me. She calls it the "Evil S Word."

1. why did the cat cross the road? To catch the mouse. Ok, not amusing.

2. Athena, Artemis, Marley

3. Fucking destiny. Can't stand it at all.

1. Too tired to think of one that's not been told a million times before at the moment, sorry.

2. Talitha. I thought it would make a good name even before I knew that there were actually girls named Talitha.

3. Any name that's common but spelled unusually, or names that come from common English words that are not typically names.

I saw that name in an Ayckbourne play and fell in love with it.

1. What do you call a fly with out wings? A WALK!
2. Moses Roboto Newman
3. Elbert. I feel it's retarded.

what is with all the weird name hate :-(

I don't know to tell the truth, what I would call any children I may have. I don't think I will have them, so I don't really think about it. :-)

I believe that everyone has something that they feel a high level of snark about. Mine happens to be names. Coincidently my shiny new day job involves getting files out of boxes, typing the patient number, date of birth and name into a program and putting the files back in the box. This gives me both lots of fodder and lots of time for entertaining snark.

oh it is not just you.. but as someone who has a weird name, I admit that it sometimes makes me a little sad. And defensive apparently ^_^

haha! perfect job then ^_^

I don't have a fully normal name either - it's known, but I've only met one person younger than me who shares it.

And, since I forgot to say it, I like unique names - some are really awesome. What bugs me is the 'Oh! I'll name my daughter Kenadie so she'll be different from all the Kennedys'

1. Knock knock.
   Who's there?
   It's Jilly.
   It's Jilly Who?
   It's Jilly out here! Open the door already!



2. Pomeroy. It's maiden/surname that married into my mother's father's side of my family back in the 1800's, iirc. Occasionally, every few generations, or so, it has popped up as the middle name of the eldest girl descended from that line. My mother was one such daughter. And it was the name her family used with her while she was growing up. She loved that name, but decided to switch to her more pedestrian first name (Angela) after she got a job that required her to wear a name tag on her uniform, and people kept mispronouncing it (nickname: Pom, or Pommy [pronounced Pum]).



3. I dunno. Anything too aggressively cute. Depends on the context. I once knew two identical twin boys, and their parents had given them names that rhymed (or nearly rhymed-- so long ago, now). That should be a punishible offense.

1. Tell me a joke? Pirate Pete walks into a bar, and he's got a ship's wheel stuck on the end of his "barnacle". Bartender asks, "Hey, Pirate Pete, what's with the ship's wheel stuck on the end of your 'barnacle'? Pirate Pete says, "ARRR, It's drivin' me nuts!"

2. What is one unique name you would consider naming your child? Drucilla

3. What is one name you really can't stand and why? Misty. I've never met one I can tolerate.
