Unfortunate Naming

People division:
I know a couple who called their daughter Denali - the year that car model came out.

Product division:
I will never add something to my drinking water called Miaow --- even if i ever did want to add coloured syrup, or whatever that hallucinogen is. (I suppose most city water tastes increasingly vile?)

Tech division:
How many patients in pediatric wards have nightmares about the "alligator clip" on their finger?

Do you know a person, place or things that might benefit from a name-change?

How about the city of Hell, Mich.? Don't think I'd want that for my address.

And how about the guy who wanted to change his name? He appeared before the judge who would rule on the matter.

Judge: "This isn't a frivolous matter, young man, do you have a good reason for this request?"

Man: "Yes, your honor, I want to change it because it's offensive - my name is Joe Feces. "

Judge: Well !! I can certainly understand that! What do you want to change your name to?"

Man: "William."

I can only think that by the time anyone decides to change their name they have already gone through hell because of the name they have.

Does anybody remember AYDS diet candies?

I believe it was Wayne Cotter who told the joke: "Why couldn't they call it something that already sounded like a disease? Like Goobers."

Not quite the same thing, since the diet candies existed before Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome entered public consciousness.

Still, it's quite the unfortunate chapter.

I have a friend whose parents named her "Christian". She became atheist however, and changed her name to "Susan".

My mom had a name for me. Then while drugged up she named me after a OBYN Dr announced over the intercom.. It is a better name because my cousin got a similar name to the one I was to be called.
An why is there crackers called munchies? I bet a lot of people get them after there self medication
