Say My Name, Say My Name

There's a new blog in town that even managed to make the much coveted sidebar list. From what I can tell, it's devoted entirely to weird names.

I found this to be funny because I was planning on writing an entry about the exact same thing...just with more of a backstory attached to it.

For the sake of this story making sense, I'm going to condense info a little bit. Have no fear though, the events still did actually take place. A friend of mine was telling me the other day about a student she knew named Female (pronounced fi-(short i) Mal EE). They asked the parents how they came up with such an "unusual" name and the mother said the following:

"Oh well it's the name they gave her at the hospital and since we thought it was so pretty, we decided to keep it!"

Sometimes ignorance can be bliss, but other times it can really kick the second generation in the ass.
