Please don't forget our man World B. Free.

My mom had a client named Chevelvet. Pronounced: Shuh-vel-vette.

My friend is a first-year teacher for chicago public schools. When she got her class roster she found that one of her first-graders had the first name of... wait for it...

Mummypraise.

Fucking Mummypraise. We had to wait two weeks just to find out that Mummypraise was a girl, and her mom's name is, like, Mary or something. I can't imagine, even as a teacher, being able to keep a straight face while calling role for the first time.

I used to have a boss at one of my jobs in Austin, whose first name was Grenade!

On top of that, he had served four years in the Army and said that he heard every joke that you could imagine.....

one of our Bangalore-based ladies goes by the name of Twinkle Cholera.

"mummypraise" though, Jesus...

I remember a team getting pretty far in the NCAA tournament many years back, and one of their guards was named God Shammgod.

Ahh, the days of Rice and LaSalle being basketball powerhouses here in NYC.

How i miss you.

i went to high school with a girl named Velveeta. she claimed one of the e's was silent, and the correct pronunciation was "velveda". regardless, it was spelled like the "cheese".

I was a K-5 Art Teacher for five years, I taught over 700 students each year in two schools.

Here are some I shit you not serious first names of kids I taught:

Shatteria
Algi (pronounced Algae)
Shithed (pronounced chuh-THEED)
Raequon
Lemanjelo
Chelesia (Chelsea?)
Danntavius
Drae

God, there were more, I just can't remember them.

My whole family calls me by my middle name, Nelson.

It's not a first name and it's not that unique, but it's pretty rare.

Drae is pretty fuckin awesome though.
