some ideas come at the darndest times.

so there used to be these ill ballplayers from NYC...the Mapp brothers. Ok, they weren't that ill, but ballers nonetheless. One was named Majestic and the other was named Scientific. They had more siblings, but you see where this is going already.

Some names are strange. And some just make you grin from ear to ear.

So naturally, I decided to troll the web and find some other off-the-wall names parents have bestowed upon their churn. I'll take the liberty of omitting the kids and parents that I actually know because that would just be mean of me. i wouldn't want to start patronizing anyone.
Zowie Bowie
Richard Hertz
Rock Bottomly
Bud Wieser
Benjamin Dover
Richard Falek
Randy Bunney
Tu Morrow
Ima Hogg
Fennis Dembo
Jermajesty Jackson
and now that I think about it, I wrote a paragraph in response to some chick who was bad-mouthing Blacks for some of their children's unusual names, but somehow my quick rant got lost in cyberspace and I've since lost all the anger that preceeded that tirade. oh well.
