Been pretty busy this weekend ( more on this later) , and I just got home from the supermarket stocking up on groceries. Anyways, still managed to find some time in Facebook and guess what?? I was busy browsing through some friend’s wall and this guy’s name caught my eyes. >>>>> Dismound (surname deliberately removed to protect the identity of the innocent).
At a glance, you’d think.. hmm Dismound? Ok sounds like Desmond. But if you’d really think about it.. haha somethings not so right.

And I’m pretty sure its a self selected name. So, brother, why oh why?
This gave me a good 30 second chuckle (lol, I’m bitchy like that) and probe me to google more on fun and weird names we have out there. These are my selected favorites plus some suggestions of mine, so please, the next time you pick a name for yourself / baby.. suggested- stay out of these:
Amanda Hugenkiss (A man to hug and kiss)
Anita Dick ( I need a dick)
Doreen ( translate to Cantonese and it practically means dangling boobs)
Fruit of any kind ( Apple , Orange, Starfruit) – leave those fruits alone!
All types of seasons ( Summer, Winter, Autumn , you get it)
Maria ( reminds me of a maid)
Bobby ( reminds me of a certain four legged animal) haha Fetch Bobby, Fetch!
Dicky, Dick whatever syllable you want it to be , no. Please dont name yourself after a genital. It will never sound right and probably warrants a lifetime mocking. Save yourself the trouble. lol
And my all time favorite>>> jengjengjeng
Annie Wan , Sam Wan and friends! :
Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan? ( anyone)
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.
Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan!
Operator: You are talking to someone! Who is this?
Caller: I’m Sam Wan ( someone) And I need to talk to Annie Wan! It’s urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what’s this urgent matter about?
Caller: Well… just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noe Wan ( no one ) was involved in an accident. Noe Wan got injured and now Noe Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan(everyone) is on his way to the hospital.
Operator: Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn’t an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don’t have time for this!
Caller: You are so rude! Who are you?
Operator: I’m Saw Ree. (sorry)
Caller: Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!
Hvae an awesome Sunday everyone!
