Perhaps Number 16 Bus Shelter was conceived in that place? Why else would you saddle your kid with such an idiot name?

"Number 16 Bus Shelter"

Seriously?

Good lord! I thought at first that it was just Talula, and I happen to like that name. Then it clicked as to what the whole name was, and I just about wept.

I have separate 'kid name' and 'animal name' lists. Boudicca, Zodiac, Rufus, etc. are all animal names. The baby will be James or Daphne.

We thankfully got Sabiki the cat, instead of naming the child after Japanese fishing lures. Instead, we just named the boy after a musician's last name (Coltrane).

Leahsmom - BINGO! Whenever hubby got the weird name fever during my pregnancies, I calmly said, "OK, let's go get a puppy and name him... Xylo, Crispus, Fandango..." Etc.

Besides, if you like the name because you think it's funny, wouldn't it be more funny as a pet's name anyway? Buy a pet - problem solved!

Benson and Hedges, HAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem, totally wrong to do that to a kid. People, when you have to make the same joke every day of your life, it won't be funny anymore!
