[QUOTE="donna723, post: 44195, member: 1883"] We don't have too many funny ones in our family, but I've heard of a lot of strange ones. My 85 year old aunt never knew what her [i]real[/i] name was until she started school. For some reason my grandmother named her "Bertha Laverne". [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sick.gif[/img] My dad and the other older siblings refused to call her that and she's been "Toodie" since the day she was born - and still is! When she has to, she goes by "Laverne" or "B. Laverne". She was registered for school as "Laverne" but had no idea that was her name! She always thought her name was "Toodie". She went to Catholic school and she found out what her name was the very first day of school when the nun calling the roll called out "[i]Laverne[/i]?" several times and she didn't answer. She finally looked up at the nun, who was hovering right over her by that time, and in the colorful vocabulary picked up from her older brothers said, "Who the H*ll is Laverne?" [img]:rofl:[/img] I once worked with a very proper straight-laced lady with the unfortunate first name of "Lovey". Why she chose to marry a man whose last name was "Hussy" we will never know ... but she spent the rest of her life with a name that sounded like she was a porn star! [img]:kisses:[/img] And I cracked up the first time I met my son-in-law's dad - his name is "Calvin", which isn't really funny. But he said he's the fifth and youngest son in his family. His older brothers are named, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. He said, "All those beautiful Biblical names ... and they named ME '[i]Calvin[/i]'!" [img]:smile:[/img] But my all-time favorite ... this is kind of hard to do writing it down - it's easier if you tell it ... My son-in-law was telling us about two boys who go to school with his younger brother. These boys are identical twins. Their names are pronounced "La-mahn-gello" and "Or-ongh-gello". On their birth certificates, their mother spelled their names ... L-E-M-O-N-J-E-L-L-O [img]:salute:[/img] and O-R-A-N-G-E-J-E-L-L-O [img]:salute:[/img] I kid you not! [/QUOTE]
