Sushil sounds like an Indian name.Originally posted by Rhonda:Oh yeah!!
It used to be that really eccentric names were usually found in Hong Kongers and Filipinos but nowadays, even the locals are joining in the foray!
Some weird names I've come across, and this is REAL :
- Winnie (like in Winnie the Pooh! )
- Baby (!!! Will she ever grow up?! )
- Swarn
- Galileo (Yes! Really!)
- Reddy
- Wendell (Yeah... his sister is called Wendy. )
- Sushil (Parents love sushi? )
- Apple
- Rain
There are more... but I have a mind block now! -
Zowie? Maybe a variant of Zoe.Originally posted by the Bear:- Winnie
actually a proper name... shortened from Winnifred or something like that?
- Baby
brings to mind the silly show Dirty Dancing..
- Swarn
bet you kena swarn like mad
- Galileo
uhh... he invented the telescope, you know?
- Reddy
again, a proper name.. She is strong.. she is invincible.. she is woman! silly and overhyped song which brought the women's movement one step forward and 20 steps back... Helen Reddy...
- Wendell
again, a proper name...
- Sushil (Parents love sushi? )
we have a reporter.. Sushila Krishnan.. this is just without the "a" behind?
- Apple
okay... the braindead actress Gwyneth Palthrow actually named her child that
- Rain
probably a different spelling of Rayne, Rayn, Rahne.. again, pretty proper name.. you gotta check out the drugged out Phoenixes for that... only Joaquim got a proper name.. the rest were River (he's drugged out and dead), Leaf and other kinds of sillier names...
the silliest of them all were from the Zappas... Frank Zappa named his son Dweezil Zappa and his daughter Moon Unit Zappa...
also, i think drugs warped the mind of David Bowie.. Zowie Bowie?? -

Just remembered this. Had a colleague by the name of Kris. She would never tell us her Chinese name. One day I found out what it was and I was laughing so hard it hurt! Her name, Siew Pao itself brought a smile to my face. Only when I realised her fiance's surname and put the two together, I cracked up. His last name is Char. Char Siew Pao. BWahahahhaaaa!
