Apparently Xoliswa, I think it'sa beautiful girl's name but hubby disagrees.

Can't verify this one but my best friend ALLEGES he met a Tatanaleesha.

Worst I've come across is Hyphernkemberly.

Xoliswa does look like it could be a real name in someplace like South Africa.

I'd say Moon Unit, but Ms. Zappa seems to have turned out just fine.

Regrets? I've know a few, but then again too few to mention, so I'll say no more.

I can just picture some poor 11-year-old saying, "Yeah, my parents named me Oschit because that's what my dad said when my mom told him she was pregnant."

I have a dear friend from Anchorage named Yuranan, a Thai student in engineering at the time I met him. He goes by the nickname "Thangmo" in Thai around his family, as it means watermelon because his mother craved it when she carried him.

Love that.

Have you ever noticed that Thais tend to have very long names, even though Thai is made up of short words, and that Thais never actually go by their long names and always have shorter nicknames that rarely sound anything like their given names?

I know a guy (white American) who grew up in Bangkok and still speaks some Thai, and he says that people's names are customarily always derived from Sanskrit and Pali, which are very different languages.

Thangmo told me they have three languages. One is formal. The other colloquial. And the third is for use with the royal family.

He was fluent in Lao, since he is from that region.

And yes, their names look like they get paid by the consonant.
