And there you have it. There were some great names that did not make the list of finalists simply because I have no way of contacting them if they were to win, so if you’re wondering why, for example, Placenta is not on the list, well there you have it.
Anyway, the prize will be:
One personalized Posh Plate from Laurie’s Lagniappe
Second place gets a beautiful handcrafted necklace from Heather.
Let the voting begin! The winner will be announced on Wednesday afternoon.
>Wow, this is tough.. but I think that my vote will be for Urethra. Naming your child anything having to do with urinary and reproductive systems is just wrong. 🙂
>Urethra. Hands down winner. It just has that certain crackhouse je ne sais quois.
>Lindsay, I would like to offer a prize to the “runner-up” for your name contest. I have a company Faith Creations, LLC. and I design and mfg. pendants out of dominos. If you could send me your email I would love to send you pic’s of my work. The runner up can choose from my current inventory (currently 150+ designs) A $12 value. My email is casaderice@sbcglobal.net Please let me know if you would be interested in adding a 2nd place price and I’ll be happy to oblige for free. Just my way of saying thanks for all the laughs your blog has brought me. Heather Rice
>I meant to say, add a 2nd place PRIZE (not price)…it’s late sorry.
>Um, they are all horrible, in their own horrific ways….But….I have to vote for “Crystal Meth” because, What. The. F#@&????WHO does that to their kid? It’s like “Here honey, instead of a college fund, we’re just setting money aside for your bail.”Good lord.
>One of my friends from high school named her son, Justin Case. Isn’t that terrible?
>They’re all horrible! And why oh why would you name your kid for a food, drug or body part?I think I’ll have to vote for ABCD.
>Ooh..tough to pick a worst. I’ll vote for Linoleum Dinette.
>I have to agree with Linoleum Dinette. They could have at least named her (I assume it is a her) Tile or Marble….But Linoleum Dinette….WTF!!!
>”One of my friends from high school named her son, Justin Case. Isn’t that terrible?”unfortunately i know someone who has named their son Justin Time. horrible! what’s worse is someone also tried naming their son 4real.. but that got rejected, so now they’re going for Superman…http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/6937327.stm
>Sharon and NotSharon get our votes.-Andie and Kris
>Please remember I can’t count an anonymous vote! Sorry. If you’d really like your vote to count, take a moment to set up a Blogger profile and be sure it includes an e-mail address or your website. Thanks!
>You missed the couple who recently named their child Wrigley Field!I vote for Crystal Meth!Holy crap!And I was told I was weird for wanting to name my daughter Anastasia or Guineveire!
>Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K gets my vote.
>Man, how to choose, but I also have to go with Urethra!
>I have to go withPandora Astraea Radagast Annextiomarus Dalía Ondine Xeziriq Amethyst L.just for the crazy parents who thought this one up, and for the poor kid who has to live with explaining that for the rest of her life.
>PARADOXAL is my vote. I couldn’t type out the whole thing, I can’t imagine having to identify myself that way for the rest of my life.
>Sharon and Notsharon.
>I’m going with Dijonaise, because it’s almost a name, but then you look again, and it’s really a condiment.
>As a mother of twins myself I have to say Sharon and Notsharon. That sounds like Notsharon is so insignificant and the poor child will probably have a complex her whole life! How awful!
>Sharon and notsharon. How sad to be notsharon
>These are the finalists?! OMG, are all these people insane? Typewriter?! Marijuana Pepsicola?! Oh, I couldn’t possibly register a vote, they’re all so appalling.
>Truly, they are all attrocious–but for pure meanness, Sharon and Notsharon gets my vote. Being a twin is hard enough without having a negative in your name! Those parents are beyond help….I feel for the children, I really do.
>I think naming your child Bleak is just mean. What kind of future do they wish for him?The naming of the twin Notsharon almost seems like a normal name. I base this on having a sister named Sharon, and hearing my mom yell at me and my other sisters by the wrong name. We’d always say I’m NotSharon.
>I’m voting for Crystal Meth….It sounds believable is you lived in a trailer park in Arkansas….
>Oh, what a difficult choice! I think I’ll go with “Viper” because it made me laugh out loud. “Consider da Miracle” was a very close second. And “Typewriter”? WTF???
>I’m gonna have to go with Sharon and Notsharon. Those were the ones that really jumped out at me the 2nd read through!Truthfully, they’re all winners/losers.
>Crystal Meth. WTF were they smoking… no wait never mind.
>My vote is for Sharon and Notsharon. Poor girls. How will they explain to Notsharon how they came up with that name. And to think I complain about my plain jane name. I will take it. My second vote would be for Bleak. Kind of sets the tone for the kid’s life huh?
>I’m a school teacher. A few years back I had a kid named Animal in my class, and the year before that I had a kid named Primate in my class. Other then that, the worst name I ever saw (as opposed to hearing about) was written on an application to rent an apartment. My prospective tenant wrote that his kids — twins — are named Hansel and Gretel.HAve fun with your contest!
>I’m voting for Sharon and Notsharon..I’m think she’s not sharin her good life with her twin..
>I can’t believe all the bad names out there. I have to give my vote to Dark Nocturnal Agony. I’m sure there are better names that spell out DNA other than wishing your kid a lifetime of nighttime pain.
>Ah crap! I missed this – we were on vacation. Anyways on the drive there we were listening to some comedy channel on XM and they were talking about someone who named their baby girl “April June” – their last name was “May” – FOR REAL!!!!My vote is for Crystal Meth.
>They are all bad. Except Sharon and Notsharon which is just plain genius.I vote Tambra’Lae for worst name, just because that so does NOT spell Shante.
>I have to go with mine: Sharon and NotsharonIt had me sad for weeks after I met them.
>It’s a toss up between urethra and Linoleum. Both tragic, but not nearly as distrubing as Crystal Meth.
>I’ve gotta vote for Jizzman. That’s just mean and disgusting!
>they’re all absolutely horrible! but the worst I have to think is notsharon just because who wants to be known as not her sister? so sad!
>Sharon and Notsharon.I was going to go with PARADOXAL, but since the parents misspelled Annextiomarus (only one “n”), I threw that name out. (If you are going to make it bad, at least make it right!)
>The Trout Family. How sad.
>While I would like to write in Clifford and Cloford, i have to go with urethra
>The sad thing about Hanky Panky, was that the reason he came into the social service system, was because his dad was in a shoot out with the swat team, and he used the 6 year old as a shield!! Some things are even worse than a bad name!! My vote is urethra…I think, I mean, they are all just so horrible, on so many levels.
>Trasheena. Reminds me of Sesame Street. Maybe she lives in a trashcan?
>This is a hard choice. I think I’ll go with Doesnotrespectauthority. It’s just too funny. My second place would be for Dijonaise.
>Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K!!!!Hands Down!
>wow, that’s tough. did want to say you missed an extraneous letter in the misspelled “Felicia” mess–it was “Fhalyshia” 🙂
>URETHRAGross…poor child!I actually went to high school with a girl named Enema Lovett.Her REAL first and last names! And this was wayyyy before weird names were common.So many of those are just wrong on so many levels, hard to choose!
>I suspect that many of these are apocryphal, but I’ll go with the one that mad me laugh: Dijonaise.
>Sharon and Notsharon get my vote.
>Gotta vote for TamBra’Lae (pronounced “Shante”), simply because words that don’t look anything like their pronunciations make me feel stupid, and I really don’t need help in that department.
>late post here, but really, are we even in the US.http://www.newbabynews.net/hospitals/jcmc36/public/
>I know a girl that named her son Fah. The killer was that his last name was king. hahahahaha
