I love these threads, am teaching at a low income school in New Zealand that is multiethnic and some of their names are funny. We have kids with names like
Aunshailena, Jamesha, Tyreece, LaQuan and Areoneesha and Star (Mostly Maori and Pacific Island, shame about their names but they are nice kids).

Do you have any unfortunate named people around, the funniest I could think of would be Boomshikaneheneh.

Not sure if this is what you had in mind, but "Jermajesty"?

I believe , according to Lewis Black, that this is the name of one of Jermaine Jackson's children.

Imago said:

Yes, it is the name of one of his kids; that's who I was referring to.

Ace said:

That was made up but Aunshailena is real.

I'm not a miss, I am Mr

Huggiebear--wasn't that the name of the ghetto pimp on .TV. years ago?

Dayclear said:

No that was huggybear from Starsky and Hutch, my Huggiebear comes from a name given to my 68 year old male partner whose moderately overweight and has a moustache and looks like a sterotypical gay bear, he made it up all with a high pitched voice and characterisation (Oh yes I am very shy), and I am his loving cub Benbear (Oh Ben you naughty bear)

How many of these threads are gonna keep popping up? Why are ya'll so fascinated with "ghetto" names?

SCNDLS said:

I'm saying. I avoided the other thread already.

PANDURITO said:

My brother named his son Dylan Benito such nastiness

ZombieKitten said:

I loved that series... Jonah - he's a little bastard isn't he?

Alej said:

Nope. it's real. Poor kid.

MrsGoodnight said:

Huggiebear said:

Better than Bushy and Clintonia though

SCNDLS said:

because they are funny, why can't they go back to names like Albert Johnson or Thomas Jefferson Washington Jones

anyone here ever changed their birth name...? I'm thinking of changing mine...but seems like a lot of work...

might change it to lisa, erin,

Hazelene

Probably not the most ghetto but the most
old fashioned.

I have to agree.

yeah....a name is not really ghetto...people are just not used to it so they think it is.....

IN the spirit of the thread, which is really funny names, not ghetto names (as Jermaine Jackson is definitely not ghetto!) I nominate George, George, George, and Georgina Foreman.

A social worker once told me that she had a mother who named her kids Oranjelo and Lemonjelo, pronounced oRONjelo and leMONjelo. Orange Jello and Lemon Jello.
