Me too! Imagine having to say those names every day for a school year with respect so that the child has some dignity...and ensuring that other kids don't bully them.....sometimes its really awful.

There's another list here that is strictly names chosen by celebs for their kids. Some of them are horrific....

You know, although I agree that we don't want the government to police names, some of this REALLY should not be allowed!!! Your poor brother-in-law....

What are the parents THINKING???

[QueenB]

My grandma's name is Enriqueta. I love her to death but none of my kids would ever be her namesake even for a middle name.

In first grade, I remember a classmate named Sparkeysha. I always wonder if they called her Sparky. A WalMart cashier's name was Shanteniqua, pronounced SHAN tay NEE qwa. Where did the find a name tag long enough for her name?

WOW!!!! I think I am in shock! Some of those are so bad, you think to yourself, "is that for real?"

My dad knew a guy named Paramin Malindawad.
