Maximus Loveless...the poor kid is only a year old, but it certainly doesn't look like his future romantic ventures are going to pan out. His parents are completely run of the mill, and I don't have the heart to ask them what they were thinking!!!
Years ago I had a friend who legally changed her last name from Loveless to Love. She just hated constantly having to declare or affirm herself as Loveless every time she said or heard her name. I applauded her decision!Quote:

The city wisely didn't think that the VA hospital shouldn't be located on Shotwell.;)
in that light... many of the locals find it slightly amusing that my office, Corps of Engineers, is on Leake Avenue.
The address of a PBS station in Richmond, VA is 123 Sesame St.
Apple's address used to be 1 Infinite Loop.:p
I just had to UPS a boat part off to a manufacturing place at:
7799 Municipal Court
(Just a regular road...not a court-affiliated thing)
Kayla Kay Summers and Koy Klay Summers.

We have neighbors with girls named Maaya (like Maya) and Mia (Mee-yah). Their poor dad has a hard time keeping their names straight. Then again, Dh has the same problem sometimes with our children's names even though their names are quite different. :rolleyes:
LOL...I am the youngest, and the only girl. But, I got called John, Dan, and Mike many, many times in my poor parents' attempts to call me by my name!Quote:

Boy I thought I was going out on a limb when I named our daughter Elisabeth Kathryn. We thought she'd have Beth as nick name but it is "bug".
My first Girl choice was a Dutch name of Krina (kreena) but if misprounced she could be called Krina Vagina.....
My uncles are twins and my grand mother was on something. She rhymed both first and middle names Merrill Glenn and Carroll Lynn.
Merrill had 2 sons 11 months apart and named them Kendall and Randall.
Carroll had a daughter and named her Carol Lynn. She goes by Lynn.
Here are some more family names I have neices named Raylene and Shalene (not sisters). A neice named Jamie (after Jamie Lee Curtis) and my son is James (named for my dad). A sister named Barbara Ann (like the beach boys song).
A neice named Jessica and a nephew named JESY (James Edward Shane with a y).
