Indeed? It seems more than one set of parents had a sick sense of humour.
Or was it Iva Hogg? It's been so many years....

Have been reading, thinking & laughing... Ok, here we go.
Had a friend named... Maxine. Ok, so far so good. Her middle name was Rhoda. Her last name Trout... thankfully she married out of that one.
My name, is ok. Nothing overly special and a bit common... but not bad either.
Most of my children were named after family members... no jr or anything like that -- my children don't always appreciate it, but they do know the whys & who about their names...
 Sadly... I am one also one of those who, without thinking, allowed my ex to name youngest son. It's a Biblical name -- It's a wonderful name... we just didn't realize that many use the same spelling for a girl's name! Ok, so maybe we were silly not to check out some of that before we named him.... Arg!! .......what is it about hind sight??? Yes, I really do often wonder if I have scarred my son for life... my only excuse?? It is a strong Biblical name... and, IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL!!
And last, I had a very wise high school PE teacher, who told us girls.... "Girls, you marry a man because you love him, not because of his name"
yep. Her married name was Perkypile.

I don't think I've posted in here, so here goes...
I didn't like my own first name when I was younger (think "I Dream of Jeannie"). Yeah, got that ALL the time. Wasn't funny anymore after the first couple of dozen times. Also, my last name drove me nuts as a kid. (FORD) There was a boy in my 5th or 6th grade class that called me "Jeannie Chevy". UH HUH. Hilarious right? Well, as I got older I was thankful my parents didn't get creative. I could very well have been Model T or something.
BTW, there are a Ronald MacDonald and a Bob Barker in my town.
Then there are the parents that thought they were being cute when naming their daughters...
The Greene family has 2 girls named Jade and Emerald. The Dollar family has a girl named Silver.
I just think that is mean.

OK, this is getting too weird..we recently had an Aaron and Erin in our church too..they moved on because he is military..but I can't believe that's THREE of us on here now, that know a couple like that..I'm starting to wonder if it's the same one! After all, military folks travel all over!

This is a truth. M's maiden name had 5 letters, one syllable and everyone could pronounce it at first glance. Then she married me. 10 letters, 4 syllables and unpronounceable without training.
I guess she loved me

Tsk, tsk. Poor girl. Now, that's love!
I just love my first name. I honestly can't think of one I'd rather have. How blessed is that!
As for my last name, I kept my ex's last name after the divorce. It never occurred to me to do otherwise. (I'd been married for 15 years, and that's the name everybody knew me by anyway.) And quite honestly, I like it better than my maiden name anyway.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet".
So I used to hate my name growing up, it was so uncommon. Now I like it, because people say my first name and people say "yeah, I know her". My last name has much to be desired because I was tortured as a child when people would pronounce it like a popular television show.

I know the feeling! I went from a looong 11 letter name that no one could pronounce (and I don't know why; it was only two words mashed together!  ) to a shorter 5 letter name. Only...it rhymes with my first name! 
Oh well! Can't win them all I guess.

I had somebody try and convince me that I should find somebody named Rose to marry. Since my last name is Royce, it would make her name sound like a luxury automobile. That would be one classy lady!
It's also the name of a soul, funk and disco band

The only name that really irritates me is my own surname when used as a given name.
And I can't figure out how so many people mispronounce it. It has five letters, two syllables and follows the standard rules of English pronunciation, and one person in ten still gets it wrong.
