• @. And finally, let's go full circle to "@," pronounced "ai ta" or "love him" by an unidentified Chinese couple:

The unidentified couple and the attempted naming were cited Thursday by a Chinese government official as an example of bizarre names creeping into the Chinese language.

"The father said 'the whole world uses it to write emails and translated into Chinese it means 'love him'," Li Yuming, the vice director of the State Language Commission, said at a news conference.

And people wonder why their children hate them when they grow up. I thought my parents picked weird names for my brothers and sister (Igot lucky for some reason) but these names are just cruel.

My Dad the pun lover got away with naming my little sister Lana. Our last name is Moore. He called her his li'l Italian yard tool. What a trick he pulled on Mom. Think about it.

An old boyfriends mother was named Daisy Olive Peach. Peach was their surname. I went to college with a woman named Daffodil, her one sister was named snowdrop and I can't remember the other's name but she was also a flower. Nice flowers but not what you'd pick for a girls name.

I'll add one from some Texas history. Jim Hogg was elected governor in 1890. He later had a daughter who was named Ima. She faced a lifetime of teasing.

haraya, of all the names here, Joker doesn't even seem strange A senator in the U.S. is called "Teddy", which may seem strange, too.

Rustee, we should forward that one to Neatorama for a part 2 of wacky names. That makes me LOL.

Thanks for the other links and the great comments!
