A wormwood monkey would be too frightening even for me! I've seen some of the ugliest names in my line of work. Names like Chocolatia, La Trasha, Eurlalia, Syphilithia, Gonorrhae, SilverNitrite, Felon, Fecalia, and twins onobono, and tuobono.

Originally posted by Shallow BlueI had other twins, Inimo and Minimo. They were Cambpdian so god know what their names meant in their dialect. At least they weren't conjioned! Some poor immigrants become tough in US because of names forcing them to defend themselves against merciless teasing. ONe particularly nice adolescent Asian girl came to USA with the horrible name of Boitoi! She wanted me to ensure her name was changed. I drew a sigh of relief. Turns out she was cool with Boitoi, but hated her last name, which she thought was the cause of the teasing! No matter how much I explained what boy toy meant she insisted she loved that name! Her last name was generic Chinese!

The post that was quoted here has been removedWife still not outa the house so I have to wait, cook, leave no trace and avoid the lecture.
I knew someone named Qualala and I could never get it straight and call her Laquala and tick her off. I also have trouble pronouncing "ch", which I frequently mispronounce as "sh". I was testifying in a trial. Under cross Mr. Chitwood would become purple with rage when I'd ask "Could you rephrase, Mr. Sh..wood?" I do this when I get nervous. I finally just decided to start calling him counselor before he had a stroke.
