Okay, this [notwithoutmyhandbag.com] is a world-class (in my opinion) example of snarking.

Wossname at websnark needs to take some notes - It's all well and good to wax eloquent and poetical about all the fine points of a comic. But that sure isn't SNARKING when you do.

Quoth:
I am not pregnant yet but thinking about names...I just thought of the name Lourdes Solange. This baby will be 75% latina and 15% european :)

...and 10% polyester.

That is pure comedy. I love it.

A friend of mine from high school named his kid "Lily Maya." They only ever call the kid by both names. However, when she gets to school, the kids there aren't going to bother with the middle name. She'll just be Lily... with the last name "White."

Lily White. Poor kid.

That really is genius.

I had no idea that people spent so much time picking out such horrible names. And the snark factor is through the roof!

This one made me laugh outloud.

I was thinking of naming my son Toolio. Does anyone know the origin on that one?

Toolio DeSac. Boy, can't think of any way that kid'll get picked on. That's one taunt-proof name there!

Thanks. I thought my daughter was the only Francesca Brandlynn.

Hope you're happy that my day is ruined.

This was my personal favorite:

Quote:
Lucida Grande Zenobia for a girl (plus you can use Zoe, Bea or Zen as nn) & Japheth for a boy (jay fit).

The Mocha Lucida Grande Zenobia - now available at Starbucks.

Helpful reader codeman38 points out little Lucy - oh, I'm sorry, is the most obvious nickname too common? - OK, little Rande is also the default font for Mac OSX. You can download her, as perverted as that sounds, here.

Oh, how boring my family seems by contrast.

I mean, our idea of a weird name is 'Ryan' when attached to girls. As a middle name, no less - both my little sister and my (female) cousin Rebecca are stuck with it. Then again, so are my uncle and grandfather.

By comparison, I went to high school with four (related, of course) kids named Trudy, Tracy, Tom, and Tanya. As if that wasn't bad enough, their parents had the gall to name the dog Trixie. My life is a bastion of normalcy.

There was a "Holly Wood" at my high school. And someone here at work was just mentioning childhood friends named "Bud" and "Coors" (they were brothers from the not-so-pleasent part of town).

What is wrong with these people! I used to get mad about being named Jennifer because it's so common, but now I'm just thankful that my parents weren't as stupid or creatively starved that they had to take it out on their children.

My French teacher in highschool told us that when she was a student teacher she knew a little boy named Al Pacino, and that was his first name.

I used to go to school with a Thomas Timmy Thomas.

My dad was working on a file of someone named Sterling Silver...

Why!? Why would parents torture their children like that?

When I was temping in the university's payroll department, I saw some paperwork for a student employee with the first and middle names of Maxwell Silverhammer.

The professor [cornell.edu] and the TA [iitb.ac.in].

I also know someone named Jon Jon San Juan.

Does that mean they were deprived of food in innovative ways?

Before you say it, I acknowledge that failing to sign up for a user name is a shortcoming. Having said that, I note that the blatant redundancy of your comments hasn't stopped you making them in the past.

Looks like Anil Dikshit has stopped using his first name and gone with initials. Probably wise.

In Response to jon (#20921):

A rather unfortunate combination, there. Probably was getting too many page hits.

If you need some surveying done in the bedroom [yellowpage...onwide.com]

I'm sure you've heard of kids being named after an Entertainment SPorts Network [go.com].

Don't be ridiculous.

Everybody knows Jon Jon.

On my drive from home to school, I used to pass a certain auto dealership [autoseekandsell.com] that I thought was entertaining...

Woohoo! That finally brings me to 50 Karma points!

That's not nearly as bad as thisdealership in both Indiana and Ohio.

How sad.

And I can't quite make up my mind as to which is worse; naming your kid ESPN in the first place, trying to pass it off as ESPEN, or that there are now at LEAST three children in this country with this name. Frankly, I think are options are at the same level of stupidity.

Fuckit..."are" is a good substitute for "all".
