    Seriously, when Miss Jay kept calling her “Miss Spontaniouse” I was like “why does he keep calling her that? She’s not doing anything that spontaneous.” Then they cut to an interview with her name and I laughed my ass off!

  • Kate

    Oh wow…I hate saying this but an old Saturday Night Live sketch is coming to mind. Old enough to have Tim Meadows in it.

  • Snarf

    Oh for the love of….whats next? Tapiokea?

  • Gretchen Weiners

    Do you think she knows Wholahay Brown?

  • Vivi

    Dag, and I watched the premiere episode and I straight up did not notice that. That is just sad right there. I mean, it is really that deep? Really? I know her parents didn’t name her that. She probably gave herself that little nickname thinking it was all cute or something. Shame.

  • Jason

    YESS!! my wife and I had to pause and rewind it a couple times just to make sure we read her name right….so so so very awesome

  • girard31

    Could I have the proper pronunciation please? Is it Spon-tah-nee-ous or Spon-tay-nee-ous?

  • mscisluv

    I didn’t hear Miss Jay saying her name, too bad!
    Great call Gretchen with the “Wholahay” thing…that still cracks me up.

  • BJohnson

    See, it’s things like this that get our country laughed at. I can run off lots of “unique” names and their spellings from growing up & now teaching. I’m really not that surprised.

  • Richard Murphy

    She would win Most Awsome name on earth if her last name were Cumbustaeon’.

  • Jon

    You see some unusual baby names when working in a hospital. This on took the cake. A young mother named her son Meconium, after hearing the doctor use the term. (Sorry, but you’ll have too look it up. Try Google.)

  • Winona

    Sadly, I had to sound it out three times before I got it. Makes “Apple” seem normal.

  • Anonymouse

    If that is her real name then her parents should be ashamed of themselves. What if she becomes a doctor, or a judge or a cop. Since her current career goal is ‘America’s Next Top Model’ that seems rather unlikely but who knows.

  • Jen

    NO WAY.
    Jon, that “Meconium” story is hilarious…are people in this country really that stupid?

  • Lucy

    For goodness sake, people, if you are going to name your child an adjective, at least spell it correctly.
    That name puts a lot of pressure on a kid. What if she turned out to be predictable?

  • Melissa

    A nurse friend told me the greatest names she ever heard were a lady you just had twins and named them after the first thing she had to eat after delivery – Lemonjello and Orangejello. (Lee maun shello and or anje shello). I knew it was a lie – until about 5 yrs later and I am reading box scores of a basketball game and cross my heart – Lemonjello scored 12 points!

  • Leslie

    My parents were hippies and my dad wanted to name my sister Rosie Thorn, but my mom wouldn’t let him. That seems pretty normal by comparison.

  • Jay P Gilchrist

    yeah and her brothers Beaudaciouse, DUBIOUSE, and her other sister Treacheriouse.

  • Cranky

    I met a woman once named Latrina. I always figured she had a sister named Commoda and a brother John.

  • mee

    Yes, Melissa, that’s an oldie but a goodie:

  • cruzilla

    I have a pediatrician friend who told me one of her patients is named Violence – only the “V” is a roman numeral 5 with bars on the top and bottom!

  • Maveness

    God I hope she doesn’t read this, but…
    A girl I went to high school with, whatever the reason behind it, her name? Buff Erin ____. (Put the first and middle together and you get…Bufferin. There were many jokes about pain killers.)

  • GingerCat

    Make it stop.

  • Melissa

    Mee – I swear to God – Wyandotte High SChool in Kansas City, Kansas sometime between 1989 and 1993. My friends son, Frank, went to school there and played basketball. I was checking box scores in the Kansas City Mo paper (KC Star) and Lemonjello scored 12 points!!!!

  • Vivi

    I work in the medical field and I see a whole rack of names that pretty much scares me. I honestly thing majority of those people are like in Protection Program or something.
    Anywho, here’s a couple:
    McCracken
    Necessary
    Harshit

  • Oldie

    There’s always the woman who looked at her baby’s chart in the hospital and decided to call her Fehmahley (i.e., female)

  • Kbop

    I really, truly, and honestly know someone who named their daughter Placenta. She is an incredibly intelligent woman and absolutely knew what a placenta was when she named her child. I guess she just like the sound of the word. Citizens of the world: I know childbirth is painful and difficult, but don’t take it out on your baby…

  • Bad names

    I’ve heard of a LeKeebler (because the mother ate those Keebler cookies during her pregnancy) and Diarrhea (pronounced Di-AR-ee-ah). Nice, eh?

  • mark in nyc

    My father went to HS with (and I saw the pic to prove it)…Frank Stein…say his full name quickly…FranklinStien.

  • My name’s Lolita

    this here’s Tanqueray
