Default Re: The Brilliance in Parenting Awards

While in a carpool back in the early 1990s, we had a "kill time while stuck in traffic" contest: what was the most unusual name you'd ever heard.

The part-time Baptist minister won. He related that a couple in his congregation had named their daughter "Steriliza".

Then there's the 2003 winner of The Masters, Michael Weir. Didn't his parents realize there are things called "nicknames"?
