i used to work at an upscale health club, managing their childcare center. tipper gore was a member, her cousin was the general manager, if that gives you any idea as to the social set of these people.
they gave their children horrendous names. here are a couple of examples:
giddings. a girl name.
boots. a baby boy (not a nickname).
harrison and hollis. two brothers.
channing. a baby boy.
as far as other awful names go, i know a couple who named their son after a character on a MUD (online role-playing game) they ran: pharaun.
-C.
Oh, Pharaun is even worse than that; it’s the name of a dark elf wizard in a D&D Forgotten Realms novel. He’s stylish, snarky and weirdly likeable… but he’s also evil and comes to a grisly end.
