This one had me in stitches. Great thread here and just goes to show you that when you think your name might be just a bit strange, think what it could have been .

Those parents are tools. Seriously. :td

I understand the concept of "it's just a name / word / whatever, and people should be understanding" and all that; however, a little dose of realism would have stood them in good stead. WTF. I know, I'll name my first kid "Nine Eleven Was Great" --- everyone will understand, right?

Tools. :td

How about that one Senetor. Richard Santorum. I believe Santorum is the fluid produced by the "dark hole" during anal sex. That poor bastard is screwed.

Re: Odd Names You've Encountered
 

It's made up.

From Wikipedia
"Santorum is a sexual neologism proposed by American humorist and sex-advice columnist Dan Savage in 2003 to "memorialize" then US Republican Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania due to the controversy over his statements on homosexuality. Savage asked his readers to submit new definitions for the term; the winning definition was "that frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex."


Similar to Favre.

"He favred on where to go on vacation until no one gave a rat's a$$"
