I'll out myself here, because I've told this story plenty of times... But I was once at a museum and heard a dad yell, in a thick southern drawl, "Dallas! Memphis! Git over 'ere!"

I knew a boy named Ridge growing up. Wins a prize: vainest kid I ever met!

I heard a lady on the subway in NYC call one of her children "Spatula" and the other "Lufituaed" (which she explained is Beautiful spelled backwards.)

Grahame. Don't know gender or pronunciation (friend of a friend's child).

Victor, Victor, Victor, Victor and Samurai.


A female Samurai. Hope she carried a sword wherever she went!


Two families with the same idea! I knew a family that named all their boys George and their daughter Georgina. I think there were 3 boys and dad was also George! they did have nicknames that they used to differentiate.


Friends with the Foremans, were you?

You reminded me! I've know two people named Simian-- a WASP girl who spelled it just like that, and a black boy spelled Simeon.


Simeon is a Hebrew name, and biblical - "he has heard.".


Ok, but in English it means monkey! Or rather, primate. To refer to someone as having "simian" features means they look like a monkey. There are lots of beautiful words in other languages that mean something entirely different in other languages. And that disqualifies them as names, in my book, if you have any connection at all to the language that carries the other meaning.


Seriously, stop it, you're annoying. They are two different words, and Simeon is a well-used if not exactly common name. It's like saying "but Peter is also a slang word for penis, yuk yuk." Juvenile.
