I went to school with a Candace Caine.

A girl at our school was Candy Barr. (And with no "Candace" to
help her out.)

Well, there was Frank Zappa, who named his kids Dweezil and Moon Unit. As
far as I know, though, they've kept those names, and have in fact seemed
to use them to their own advantage, since they are also in show biz. Plus,
they're probably as weird as he was!

I don't know about a Tigerlily, though.

Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily is the name of the daughter of Michael
Hutchence, he late singer of Aussie band INXS (died 1997?), and Paula
Yates, British celeb/TV presenter (died 2000). Paula was formerly
married to Bob Geldof, the Irish New Wave singer (fronted The Boomtown
Rats) who was one of the forces behind the 1985 Live Aid concerts in
England and America. They had three daughters, Fifi Trixiebelle,
Peaches Honeyblossom and Pixie.

I agree completely! I worked with a woman whose daughter went to
school with twins. Lemonjello and Oranjello (I kid you not - like
Jell-O!). I didn't even know those kids and still made fun of them.

Are you sure you weren't being put on? Snopes thinks that pair of
names is an urban legend. See
http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/names.htm

I don't know. But my co-worker swore it was true.

Now, I went to high school with my doctor, who is just a couple of years
older than me. He was friends with my two older brothers and myself. When
he decided to go to med school, he told me of a American Medical Association
mandatory "medical ethics" class (for lack of a better description). Seems
for years, young interns were suggesting ridiculous names to illiterate
young mothers. Someone decided enough was enough; teach these wanna be
doctors this is not funny. The mom's thought the names were cute. In
reality they were a lot like those being described here (including the
Jell-O like thing, because these mothers couldn't spell and the interns
would put a different pronuciation on them).

I once taught brothers, Gurminder and Gurjinder. That's right, one
letter difference between their names.

Allegedly there was once a woman given the unfortunate moniker of
Ima--her last name was Hogg.

And a friend of mine once dated Mike Oxhard (say that one out loud)

My grandma knew a family in Germany called the ****helms, who became
the Helms immediately upon their immigration to Canada.

A wise man talks because he has something to say;
a fool talks because he has to say something.
