    A colleague at work is trying to convince me that there is a child in Sheffield named Chlamydia. I called bullshit and he insists that his missus worked in a playgroup there and the parents of the child liked the sound of the name and didn't know what it meant and hence christened her Chlamydia. As he is not the type to lie I took to Google and although I can't find the Sheffield kid I have found evidence of Kids in the States being called Chlamydia[^]. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to breed.

      Even though it's only about ten kids a year (3 in 1,000,000 babies born, with ~4,000,000 born each year at present in the USA) both parents should be neutered to prevent it happening again. :doh: I'm pretty sure there should be a licence required before you have sex, never mind a baby... :sigh:

          having had a fair amount of dealings with some of the, shall we say, less educated portions of our society over here, I can honestly say that this does not surprise me in the least. If somebody over here told me they worked in a group with a kid named like that I wouldn't even blink twice about it. Totally believable.

          Treat stressful situations like a dog, if you can't eat it, play with it or screw it, then just piss on it and walk away. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.

            I'm from Sheffield and this sounds plausible. A girl I knew a long time ago developed a cocaine problem later on in life and ended up getting pregnant. Her daughter's name? Charlie. Not mine, BTW.

              I can claim the distinction to have taught Eva Brown. Worryingly, her family were from right next to POW camp 18[^] and a lot of the PsOW married locally by repute.

                Totally valid name, think of the commonalities (from the mother's point of view). Chlamydia(The Child) vs Chlamydia(The STD) If you would have used protection, you wouldn't have it. You should tell that new guy about it, but you won't until after you hook up. You got some help with both at the free clinic. You're still trying to figure out who's responsible for giving it to you. (Maury! Maury!) Modern medicine could have easily gotten rid of it for you, but you waited too long.

                  When one of my kids was born, there was a ruckus in a neighboring recovery room. A lady wanted to name her newborn "Latrine" and the nurse wouldn't let her. I don't know the outcome.

                                  This reminds me, it's been something I've been meaning to ask someone for a while. A friend of mine's mum is German. She (the friend) keeps saying that everything in Germany is "either compulsory or forbidden". Is this (or its equivalent) a common phrase over there?

                                    Unusual names that I've heard about: Lemonjello and Orangejello (Sisters named after mom's favorite foods) Female (Nurse wrote it down before name was picked, mother liked it so it became official) Baby Girl and Baby Boy (Twins) Seven (7th child and sibling of the above mentioned twins)

                                      A colleague at work is trying to convince me that there is a child in Sheffield named Chlamydia. I called bullshit and he insists that his missus worked in a playgroup there and the parents of the child liked the sound of the name and didn't know what it meant and hence christened her Chlamydia. As he is not the type to lie I took to Google and although I can't find the Sheffield kid I have found evidence of Kids in the States being called Chlamydia[^]. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to breed.

                                        When my missus was studying nursing in Durban she used to do the pub crawls around town. One night she was with one of her friends and they were getting pissed off with a bloke trying to chat her up. She gave her the nurses residency phone number and told him to ask for Melena Stool. The next day he went there in person and asked for her. The reception staff screamed in laughter.

                                        If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                                          Unusual names that I've heard about: Lemonjello and Orangejello (Sisters named after mom's favorite foods) Female (Nurse wrote it down before name was picked, mother liked it so it became official) Baby Girl and Baby Boy (Twins) Seven (7th child and sibling of the above mentioned twins)

                                          There was a Seinfeld episode in which George disclosed the name he would use for his and Susan's child. It was Seven[^] although Susan laughed and then disclosed the name to her pregnant friend who then chose to use it. It was a quite a good episode, although I can't say there was ever really a bad episode.

                                          Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
