<p>Anyone else find it amusing that Tom Cruise’s kid’s name (Suri) means “pickpocket” or “thief” in Japanese, and apparently in some Indian dialects, means “pointy nose”? And apparently it isn’t a Hebrew name and doesn’t mean “princess”, so say the Israelis. News to them. It is Persian, but means “red rose”.
I won’t even begin to comment on baby names like Shiloh, Apple, etc. How about instead, we talk about other amusing names? We’ve all heard about the Catherine (“Kitty” ) Litter’s, the Frank Neil Stein’s (Frank N. Stein), etc. What is the funniest name you’ve heard?? I have a relative whose name was Augusta Wind. No joke. Any others?</p>

<p>When my H. was in the military, he reported to a Maj. Nichols, whose wife was pregnant. He asked if it was a girl, would they name her Penny, and she would live in Penny Nichol’s quarters. The Maj. was not amused.</p>
<p>Neighbor across the street was in the military. Last name is Marvel. And yes, he was a Captain.</p>

<p>I had a client many years ago whose last name was Benz. He had the chutzpah to actually name his daughter Mercedes. I never did like the guy, but that sealed the deal.</p>

<p>The guy who’s going to take my wisdom teeth out next month is named Dr. Fear… and in our town there’s also a dentist named Dr. Paine.</p>
<p>I met two identical twins whose names were Rochelle and Rachelle, pronounced almost the same (especially when you say it fast). That was just cruel.</p>
