Sister is a nurse, said one woman named her daughter Clamidia because she thought it sounded beautiful.

A guidance counselor was in taking a transfer to her school and addressed the new student as Leah. The new student said it’s pronounced Ledasha, the dash ain’t silent. The name was spelled “Le-ah”.

I have a friend who really regretted naming her daughter Sheena. Adolescence is hard enough without having to carry around a funky name.

Bumper Pool is a linebacker for Arkansas.

George Costanza wanted to name his kid Seven.

Fennis Dembo was a basketball player with the Detroit Pistons. He had a twin sister named Fenise. They were the 11th and 12th children of their mother. Fenise was to the last child in the family, and one of the older sisters suggested the french word Finis - meaning Finished. So, she is Fenise.

So....there's all that.
Fennis Dembo was one he!! of a college basketball player. Wyoming Cowboy basketball.

Teaching in Baltimore I’ve seen some crazy names, many with hyphens or apostrophes. B’frandis is one I liked and twin boys named Morris and Norris who had the last name Torris. I would say I’ve seen every possible version of J’sean, jayshawn, jasean, jayshon too.
The Torris brothers had a younger brother named Clint Torris
