Name that induce insomnia
I am troubled by the case of the twins named Queen and Princess. Why do people do this horrible stuff to their kids? This is probably worse than spanking. Can you supply with more names to keep me turning in my bed?

Had some unusual prn. for the kanji for his name that in normal contexts would just be the word "uchu" (outer space). I forget now what the weird prn. was though. I just remember he had the kanji for uchu.

I once knew a woman who had legally changed her name to Milky Way.
speaking of name changes
I know of a woman who changed her name to Terrakian Wintermoon, which was apparently the name of a ten-thousand year-old dragon spirit she channelled.

Was she so spaced out/drugged up that that's where her mind was?
I met a family with four kids (but I only remember three of them):
Hannibal
Constantine (girl nn Connie)
Temujin (name of Genghis Khan)
The fourth was similarly named.

Conquerors belong on my list of insomnia inducers. Thank you.
Hmmm
I once heard of a brother-sister set named Jon Bon Jovi and Joan Jett - and both insisted on being called by their names in full!
Oh, and also, I once had a customer named Wade Wayde. His last name was Wayde and his parents chose Wade as his first name. He was a major grump, and I can't really blame him for it.

I once read a book with twins in it (it is based on a true story) and she twins names was Shane and Zane. Ugh!
And I once heard about twin brothers named Jon and John. =/
And my friend wants to name her daughter (if she ver has one) Humla, which is the Swedish word for humblebee....

Shane and Zane are a laughible name combo. Twins named Jon and John is even worse. Thank you.

Princess probably feels inferior. Poor kid.
Yep. Thank You
Just have a look through here: http://ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/index.html - guaranteed to keep you boggling all night. There were 18 baby girls called Goddess in 2009, 57(!) called Queen, 18 called Royalty, 3 called Sovereign and 53 girls called Messiah!
Also: while researching yesterday I came across a boy born in 1855 called Orange Lemmon.

Wow, talk about upstaging your kid; I wouldn't be suprised if the poor dears went to therapy.
On a side note, I once went to high school with a girl named Queenie.

Queenie is almost as awful. Why can't people figure out that Regina is such a better name than Queen or Queenie?
My 6 year old cousin's name is Sovereign.
I can see Sovereign in a Puritan/qualities-of-God sort of way. It is far better than Princess.
Yikes, that definetly belongs in this catagory. Thank you.
I can see that being used way more easily than "Goddess".
Goddess belongs in my database. Thank you.
57 Queens, 53 Messiahs, and an Orange Lemmon. Thank you.
*shaking head*
oy gevalt. poor kids.

Aside from the fact that those names are just strange, why did they basically give one a higher rank than the other? Weird.
I knew someone named Honey Muench.
An old work buddy told me of a fam he knew w/ the last name rabbit who chose names like Peter and such... Don't know if there was a Bunny in there...
When Mum was a telephone operator over 40 yrs. ago, there was someone in the Greater Vancouver area named Rusty Faucet and someone else named Tit Wei Lowe (sp?).

Those will fit perfectly in this catagory of insanity.
