One of my homies works in Human Resources for a HUGE company. She called me yesterday just to blow me. She received two memberships and needed help pronouncing the names. She called me because I was an English Major in college (don't let my ignant rantings fool you, lol) and knew I could help her. See, I was expecting to have to help with a name like Anne Hegelsonzoewonlh or some ish, but I WAS NOT AND WILL NOT EVER BE prepared to deal with the GRADE A FUCKERY she hit me with.

Name one: ABCD

*Knows you have the same WTF face as I had*

I sat on the phone quiet for a minute because I knew she was playing. But she was DEAD SERIOUS. She said the lady pronounces it "Ab-see-dee" *SEOD*

Name two: La-sha

I was like "oohhhh, I got this one. You pronounce it "La-shay!" Uh, no. My girl was like her nickname is Dash. I got the dumb look on my face again because 1+1 was not equally up to two. I timidly asked "Um...where did Dash come from?"

My friend said, "Well apparently the dash is not silent in her name. Her name is "LA-DASH-SHA."



I was ready to go find both of those broads and slap their ass with a Hacker manual! The dash is silent trick! I know you can't choose your name, but you can change how you pronounce that mess. Blew the rest of my day. I sat reading my old English books to make sure WE weren't the ones tripping.


And if someone thinks there is NOTHING wrong with those names, this is what I have to say to you....


What are some of the crazy names you've had came across?
