Um...yeah. This is just *wrong*. Birth Announcement.

They named him Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K.

Beautiful baby. Awful name. Though, I kind of hope he turns out to be a Supreme Court Justice...and decides to go by Icy...'cause those would be some nifty headlines.

Or maybe he'll drop everything else and just go by Kendall. (Too logical...it'll never work! *Grin*)

Or "Special"

Good grief.

It only took me a second to realize "Urhines" is pronounced "Yer Highness". Oh, the horror. As Kendall is his evil father's name, I hope he goes by Icy. ;)

oh, holy jeebus! i was trying to convince myself that Urhines was pronounced "yer-HINES" and not "urines." i don't know if that's better or worse than 'your highness.'

"Urines" is worse, "yer-HINES" is better, imo. For some value of better, anyway...

There are worse names. There was this kid in my hometown named Adolf Hitler Randolph. I kid you not. The first day of school will be a nightmare for young Urhines always, though, with teachers struggling not to pronounce his name in an unmentionable way.

Forgive me but I think it's actually a cute name. And this child may have an Afro-American teacher/classmates/school who will not think anything of his name. And of course names are easily changed or nick names used, especially in parts of the Afro-American community.

Poor kid. As cool as Urhines Kendall sounds..Special K is a drug. I hope it's some kind of joke, he'll automatically be labeled a drug user when he gets older -_-

It could be a reference to the cereal, Special K. It's not necessarily a drug ref

For the love of all that is good, are the parents on crack?

Isn't special K some drug name?

Does he have a last name? IS K HIS LAST NAME?

HOw do you say this to the attending physician and keep a straight face?
or better yet, how did the physician react when he heard this?

Special thanks to the person who caught onto Your Highness, I had settled on Urines and was even further appalled.

Poor kid. Having parents that dumb is going to hurt. Of course, later in life he can turn them in for their obvious drug use.

I'm just amazed at the length. My father wanted to name me "Douglas Edward John Berry" but was told rather sternly by the clerk that only one middle name was allowed. He had tried it with my brother as well.

I feel cheated.

I bet it REALLY hurts to know you could have been
URHINES Douglas Edward John Berry. Think of all the teachers/students/principal calling you Your Highness.

I know, I know, I've just poured salt in your wound.
Apologies.
Aimee

My legal name is and has been since birth Anna Belle Lee Pond, actually it is now Anna Belle Lee Doner-Pond LOL You were jipped.

Erk. You should be allowed as many middle names as you like.:(

Ghods know that Sammy does. *Grin* I think that kids with more than one middle name have an advantage, 'cause if they hear *Both* middle names, they know trouble's coming. Kids with one middle name (like me:) thought they were probably in trouble, but one never really knew.

It's okay though...my mum didn't have an official middle name at all, so Sam's just picking up the slack.;)

Hmm, I've often thought of changing my surname to 'Your Majesty'. I'll have to see how well this kid fares first.

And yes, the kids will give him a hard time, but I seem to recall that the kids I went to school with will make fun of your name wether it's Urhines or Ed.

Also, Special K may be a drug, but it's also a very healthy breakfast cereal!

As for Icy....maybe the tyke has cold feet....

Okay, I think that's about as positive as I can manage. I wish I could be there for the priest's christening.....

Names like that should be prevented by vigilante justice.

My sister-in-law used to work in a hospital and she would call DFYS on people for their kids names.
One was a couple wanted to name their son Harry after the mother's granfather so my sis-in-law told them they either change it or she would call DFYS. As their name was Pitts thus Harry Pitts.

hahahahaha... that's wonderful.

my mother used to work at a daycare which was populated largely by the spawn of burned out ex-hippies and new age crystal weenies. there was a child there named Galadriel. one would not imagine, upon hearing that name, a short, dumpy, and very ugly girl whose only realy joy in life appeared to be the extraction of snot from the furthest recesses of her nasal cavity.

DFYS is department of family youth services

What's DFYS?

I am a "German-American" hehe and as such I have been pronouncing german names my whole life, so when I saw his name I was like "ok Urhines Kendall are fine and the others are all middle names so it won't be so bad. See in german urhines would be pronounced Er Hines not your highness. So maybe you're all pronouncing it wrong, lol shame on you all.

Yeah and special K is a cereal.

Actually, that's the "natural" way to pronounce it in English, too. But it seems clear to me that that isn't what was intended. I could, of course, be wrong...
