Wonder why


Used to think it was anyname but Sue......

Saw that too. Also read in the Courier Mail that people is Qld have tried, and in some cases succeeded, to name their kids such things like "Gummy Bear", "Coca Cola", "King John 1", "Number 16 Bus Shelter", "Midnight Chardonnay" and "Violence".
The best one I liked was "Fish and Chips" for twins.

think the parents should change their names by deed poll ( if they do that over here ) to F***wit and Richard Head.

Actually Richard Head is alive and well - I worked with him briefly at Qld Transport! He proudly displays his office name tag. (I suspect the joke wore thin MANY MANY years ago)

Top of my list for really odd names are Moxie Crimefighter and Pilot Inspektor.

Moxie is the daughter of some, obviously mad, magician. Poor old Pilot is the son of Jason Lee, the guy in "My Name is Earl"

I suppose, with the surname Hill, I could call one of my offspring Alittle Green.

Personally I think it is a disgusting name because of what is synonymous with. It is only 70ish years ago that its was linked to the most horrendous crimes - I don't think they should be allowed to call their child it.
