Okay, so I just hung up the phone with a gentleman by the name of William Williams…..
Seriously?!?!?!?!
So I took it to Twitter and asked what interesting names people have come across.
Got some interesting ones:
Baby Girl Williams
Flossy Pillow
Precious Moments
Stephen Stevens
Rich Richardson
Carole Carrell
Just to name a few.
Do you have any to add of your own?
Just a little Thursday fun :)
And lastly, what are some parents thinking when naming their kids????
UPDATE:
Okay, so I've decided I'm going to have to give a little reward to the person who comes up with the best names. These are so great. My entertainment for today :)

My last job was an ins. underwriter & I came across dozends of radical names daily. Everyone would come to me with their finds to add to my crazy name notebook I started.

Have you watched Anne of Avonlea? The part where the girls are being mean to Anne, and giving her false names..."Wilma I. Ball", etc, etc. Might crack you up. ;-)
