Most unusual name of a child you know personally

[Anonymous]

Kodong. It's a girl (who is friends with my daughter).

December. Another girl; they call her "Dede" for short.

Fuk-yoo. She wasn't AA.

When I was thirteen or so, I thought "Payne Riordan" was absolutely the classiest boy name ever. (DS ended up with a very traditional, regular old name).

The thread's been mostly "white," other than M-a and possibly Aquanetta, but that could just as well be southern white. Like DH's family.

Denz.

Of course he is "dense" in my mind every time I see or hear his name.

Denz is white Northern European fwiw

My kids and I play a game of trying to guess people's ethnicities by their names. It's a way of discussing race and stereotypes. We're often right but not always.

Also:

- Colby, like the cheese.

- Ransom. As in held for...

I really, really wanted to name DD Poe (or use it as a middle name). DH wasn't on board. It would not have stood for Peace on Earth.

I personally know or have met these people:

Noble (female)
Prince
Princess
Major
Nevaeh
Cliché
Dejavu

None of these are "oh, my sister is a sub and she taught a class and there was a kid on the roster with this name" - I am serious, I have personally met each and every one of these people. I worked with Dejavu for several years!

Pregnant Lady: It's a girl! I'm due June somethingsomething. Her name is Elle.
Mario Batali: Elle?
Pregnant Lady: Uh-huh.
Mario Batali: Like the magazine? French?
Pregnant Lady: Oh, I guess. Really?
Mario Batali: Yes, Elle. You're naming your child a French pronoun.
Pregnant Lady: Oh...

It had me laughing out loud, slapping my hands walrus-style that a woman is naming her child a French pronoun that simply means "She" - and she didn't even know it. But she was so excited and had the name picked out and everything. In the age of the internet, there is no excuse.

Guess nobody mentioned that to all the parents who named their girls 'Ella.'
Oh good for you. Laughing at people because they don't speak french. Maybe she was thinking Elle McPherson or Elle Woods. What an ass.

1) quote fail
2) I'm not making fun of someone not speaking French. I'm making fun of someone who picks out a name, and doesn't even do a quick Google search to know what they're naming their child. And it was hilarious! I love Batali!
