What's in a name?

[TexanCzexican]

My first college roommate (for one week) was named El Gardo

El Gardo had three brothers:

• El Gringo
• El Julio AND
• Joe Junior

There were from Opelika, Alabama

This made me think of my SO's college friend. Her name is Salvation (odd but still manageable) but her brother's name is....wait for it....

PraiseGod

Now, I understand being religious and all....but really...why his parents named him this I will never know. And yes, he still goes by it (he's in his 20's)

Silver Butt Butz?

LOL!!!!! Wrong body part!!

But the real thing will never be as good as what you all have invented!!!!!! I'll PM y'all.

Actually, I'd really like the first name Silver.

Oh, also, I should mention that my initials are E.T. like the movie.

PraiseGod..........Oh my!

Oh no! don't give him ideas. Actually he's never done that. The phone home thing has worn off a bit, but was really big when the movie was first out. And the movie predates cell phones. Jeez, I'm old.

He does often refer to me as E.T.

Do you remember the Glen Campbell song, "Where's the Playground, Susan?"

I had to live through that!

My mother-in-law's name is Donnie Lula Mae. I never thought of Florida as "South", but apparently she was raised Deep South.

The other day we saw a brag sticker on the back of someone's giant SUV. You know the kind...The name of the kid and the chosen sport that they excel (or suck) at.

The kids name, I kid you not, was Godly. (I think they don't know how sacrilegious it could be considered by some.)

But can you imagine having a big brother named Godly?

"My brother thinks he's God!"

"Well, as a matter of fact, I AM!"

Karen
p.s. (My son has never had the "honor" of a brag sticker on my car, because I don't want any average stranger knowing all the names of my kids and where they can find them on any given Saturday--at the ballpark. And then with a kid named God?? please.)

Well at least anybody standing next to him is clean. 'Specially if his last name is Ness.

Heh-heh-heh. Shouldn't be too hard to find in these parts.

Down in the Pine Bluff school system there's a young lady named "Sh'iThead", pronounced "sha-THEED..."

My friend the history teacher down there was calling roll the first day of class when he came to that one, and stopped to ask, "Miss Smith, just how do you pronounce your name?"

OMG! I just figured this one out

That's absolutely unforgivable for the parents to have done that

Met a "Unique" today running the cash register at the drug store. Had to restrain myself from shouting, "Hey, I heard about your name on my bike club forum!!!"

Uh, yeah....
