The Name Game

The Name Game #324

2 Comments

I awoke several times this morning to that wonderful sound of thunder as today’s predicted thunderstorms moved through the area. Last night’s low of seventy-two wasn’t bed, and under cloudy skies, the high of eighty-eight wouldn’t be bad except for humidity near saturation levels. It’s nice, as long as you don’t sweat.

Opened the paper this morning to find that the big hospital across the river reports twenty-eight new babies from between May 10 and May 28. Fifteen are to unwed parents and one new mommy is a modern example of the virgin birth.

Let’s see what we come up with:

Kyle F. & Courtney L. use an engineering methodology, PIOMA, to get a name for their son, little Kemper Garrett.  “PIOMA”?  Yeah, as in “Where’d you get that figure?” “Pulled It Out My A**!”

Lorenzo M. & Melissa C. Make one us for their daughter, little Jennicka Jacqueline.

Michael & Tasha L. celebrate their Celtic roots with their daughter, little MacKenzie Marie.

Miss Shatonyia (!) W. perpetuates the travesty by tagging her daughter with Nakiyah Monique.

Steven F. & Casme(!) J. show some punctuational flair with their daughter, little Ray’myne Semaj.  Seriously?  “Ray’myne”?  People gonna think they named the kit after instant noodles.  (ANd yes, it is pronounced “RAH-men” but a lot of people don’t know that.)

Roman E. & Robin M. do teh tryndeigh with their daughter, little Shayleigh Makenzi.

Joseph J. & Jessica L. like the letter ‘y’ so they use a lot of ’em on their daughter, little Rhylynn Jayde.

Several people know that the key to an attention-getting name is spelling.

Timothy & Elizabeth know , so their daughter starts out as Caralyn Leigh.

Nicholas L. & Kaitlyn B. tag a daughter as Natalya Rayn.

Chris C. & Raedella(!) B. present Camren O’Neal.

And Randy & Ashley M. are confused about that whole daughter-son dichotomy, so their daughter is ‘-son’, Madison Grace.

And that’s it for this week.

  1. Miss Shat on yia? Either her parent(s?) spelled ‘you’ wrong on there was some unfortunate person named Yia in the room and they completely missed an opportunity to both randomly capitalize and apostrophize (it’s a word now) that name.

  2. — “PIOMA”? Yeah, as in “Where’d you get that figure?” “Pulled It Out My A**!” —

    Here on Long Island, we call that a “PDOOMA,” as in “Pulled Directly Out Of My A**.”
