You just can't find Disney door plates with those names on them.
Somewhat Guilty as well - my daughters are Catarina (but everyone knows her as Caty or Cates) and Amity - she decked a boy in her class last year after he called her the "Amityville Horror" thus negating the meaning of her name. It's also the name of the island in "Jaws". | R-Dub

Reposted on: 8.1.13 1049.22 | 10 years ago I was a store manager at a McD's. A new girl started that everyone from her HS called Mel. Most of the kids thought her name was Melanie but since I had hired her and did payroll I knew her name was Melody.
Now Melody seems like a good name right? Well, during the summer her older sister (who was at college) worked there. Her name was HARMONY. Their parents named their kids Harmony and Melody like the really bad 70's song. | redsoxnation

And I'm just now realizing the irony of him playing for that particular college.

To be fair, it was Shamgod Wells when he was recruited to Providence. There was a reason that involved divorced parents why he changed it to God Shamgod, but it is too complicated for me to really try to remember the details. I'm pretty sure the Dominican Friars were really proud to have a student named God. He was a jerk and a lousy driver, but if Corey Wright makes a lay-up at the buzzer in regulation of the Elite Eight against Arizona, he would have been the point guard for a Final Four team.
And, even though this was the name of an extremely successful basketball coach, you are probably going to have the state take the kid away from you if you name him Adolph.

I, for one, have no problem with the name Amber. 
I did go to school with a girl named PALACE. One day a teacher asked her why she was named that and she replied "Because one day I gonna live in one". I think she barely made it out of middle school.
There was also a girl named SEQUOYIA,like the tree, which was actually quite fitting since she like was 6ft tall in 5th grade.
