OMG, yes. I talk to people all day long at work, and often wonder the same thing. A question quite a while back asking "What's the funniest name you've ever heard" (or something like that) I actually mentioned some names, and someone came along and jumped my a$$, threatened me and ordered me to remove the names...claiming they were one of the names I mentioned. My theory...when parents think they are being cute or funny giving their kids such horrible names, and those kids grow up being mercilessly teased, they will go insane (and maybe become serial killers? who knows?).

I have indeed. I used to work in a social service agency and was appalled at some of the things people will name their kids. You have to be very careful in this (overly) politically correct world we live in to not give voice to such thoughts however. I have a good friend who asked a new employee if her momma was dyslexic or smoking crack for how she soooo incorrectly spelled her name. My friend received no laughs and a written reprimand from her employer for saying something she thought was amusing, but the young lady with the STUPID name was not amused.

I knew two male firefighters. One was named Beverly Carole. The other was Carole something or other. One of my friends named her child "Crystal Skye". It's like she wanted her to become a porn star. I asked her once "What were you thinking?" She said it seemed cute at the time (She was a teen mother.)

There used to be somebody who worked at the same company as me whose name was Ivor Shaw-Twilly. I suspect this was a result of double-barrelling names at marriage rather than insensitive parents.
