Here's the list from the article.

Registration officials blocked some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said.

I think I'd have to support "Yeah, Detroit"

Where do all of these ghetto/white trash baby names come from? According to a couple of social scientists who wrote Freakonomics, it's usually based on elite names that are adopted by lower socio-economic classes over time.

BTW, here's another Alizee video where she covers a classic Madonna tune:

Sprite - pronounced Spry-TAY.

JessieJ said:

No lie...I know somebody named Yomajesty. her moms name is Queen. WTF!!!!!

Amazing. I post meaningful political stuff as well as poetry (which seems to be well-recieved lately, thank you!), and it gets some response, but I post about something stupid like ghetto baby names, and it gets over 120 responses. Where are your priorities people?????

horatio said:

I wanna ban the name Mikayla and the 70 different ways to spell it!

Mine are Jonathan, Francis and Carrie. Ghettos being relative and all.

I remember working in a hospital some time ago and a woman's child having the name Vageena. That was a definite WTF moment.

roodboi said:

Alej said:

My Dad and Tia are both named Chuy (Jesus).

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

My grandfather was named Jesus too

Thankfully I didn't get Jesus, nor Jose, Luis, or any of those

My sister in law works for social services. A file came through with a baby girl on it named Abcde (the first 5 letters of the alphabet). She thought it was a typo but later found out by the baby's mother that it was correct and it was pronounced "Ab-siddy". What the crap?

A former FSU football player was named Craphonso. "Crap"

Yes! I've also heard Lemonjello with the emphasis on the "on".

Anything ending in "-isha or -esha". Please stop that shit!
