Birth Certificates Need Spell Checkers
The strangest names aren't even on the list. The Social Security Administration only releases names chosen five or more times, in order to protect the privacy of parents with bad judgment.
You have to worry about the ramifications of such parenting. Do the 13 girls named Wisdom feel even worse when they screw up? What happens when the 10 guys named Truth lie?
Then there's the issue of spelling. Are the 15 kids named Ruddy really that rosy-cheeked — or are they really just Rudys?
We also had 72 kids named Sky, but also 85 named Skye (a Scottish island) and Skyy ( a premium vodka). How do you tell your child, "Daddy wanted to name you after the heavens above, but he can't spell a three-letter word."
Name Your Kid After Your Favorite Station
If you're really looking for parents who make sport of their children, consider that at least two children were named Espn, after the ESPN cable sports network.
Jason Curiel of Texas told the Dallas Morning News that he thought his wife was kidding when she made the suggestion. But the Corpus Christi couple loves sports.
"I thought she was pulling my chain and was going to suggest other names," he said. "But then he came and she was still for it. Even though the nurses would give me dirty looks and turn to my wife and say, 'His name, please?'"
Espn (pronounced "Espen") Curiel was born Sept. 24. His birth follows that in January 2000 of Espen Blondeel of Newaygo, Mich., whose parents were also sports fans but decided to go phonetic.
My Boy Morpheus — The Matrix of Naming
In another case of life imitating art, five boys were named Morpheus, apparently after the hero of the sci-fi blockbuster The Matrix, portrayed by Laurence Fishburne. "I don't think there's a trace of that name existing before the film," Evans says (except for the Greek God of Dreams). "But now it's on the map."
The lead female character, Trinity, is faring even better. Between 1999 and 2000, the number of Trinitys tripled to 4,553, making it one of the fastest-growing girls' names.
Neo, the name of Keanu Reeves' character, scored only 113 names. "It's really not fair to compare," Evans says. "The movie obviously had an impact on naming. Trinity just started out as a real name, whereas Morpheus and Neo didn't really exist."
Reeves is so popular that he actually caused a naming controversy in Austria, where parents aren't allowed to invent names. Instead, they must prove that the name they give their child once belonged to another person.
When one Austrian couple wanted to name their son after the actor, officials objected, thinking Keanu was just a stage name. But, after doing some research, they discovered the name relates to the actor's Hawaiian ancestry.
Now, we Americans must debate the virtues of allowing parents to name children anything they want. Just imagine the playground torment some children must suffer.
"Hey, can you smell it? I guess Gouda must be coming."
"Don't listen to Bologna. She's full of it."

Sydney - Zookeepers are refusing to help a sedated gorilla masturbate.
Kibabu the gorilla's inability to produce children has become an embarrassing industrial issue for Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
The zoo management's proposal for an artificial insemination programme using manual stimulation of the sedated gorilla was vetoed by zookeepers.
A zookeeper told a local daily: "No ways, mate...it was too bloody dangerous. What if he woke up?"
Taronga officials confirmed the masturbation programme was proposed last May, but said there had been no further attempt to employ it.
"I believe it's done in Europe," a spokesman told the paper. "There's been a lot of discussion on how to get semen from Kibabu for artificial insemination."
Instead, Kibabu, whose harem numbers five females, will probably be stimulated by an electrical device, a process called electro-ejaculation.
Kibabu's failure emerged as about 350 zoo staff planned to stop work to discuss workplace agreement issues, including wages, working hours, stress and job-related risks.
In an unrelated but equaly bizarre story of reproduction in the animal kingdom, a safari park in Engeland has given its only adult male rhino the herbal equivalent of the drug Viagra.
Keepers at West Midlands Safari Park said Rocky had failed in the past two years to mate with any of their four female rhinos.
For the past week staff at the Bewdley-based park have been giving the reluctant Romeo a herbal remedy made from natural ingredients.
"It is like Viagra and we're hoping it will do the trick," head warden Bob Lawrence said.
"He has been on it for a week now and there are signs that he's getting a little frisky. Next week when the park closes for winter we'll put him back with the girls and see what happens.
"Rocky is our only adult male rhino and it is essential that he starts doing the business."
Lawrence added that the park's only other male rhino was a calf - Rocky's son - and he was far too young to start mating.

Crooks KO'd by Batman
By ANDY RUSSELL
FIVE yobs were nabbed by BATMAN as they tried to shoplift booze.
The stunned thieves were grabbed as they fled an Asda superstore.
But the caped crusader was really store security chief Alan Nickerson, who had dressed up to raise cash for Children In Need.
Alan, 36, of Swinton, Manchester said: “It seemed an appropriate costume for the head of security. But I did not imagine I would have to start acting like Batman.
“We spotted the thieves on the CCTV and I chased them. They were shocked. When the police arrived the officers were really impressed by the outfit and my actions.”
“Everyone just stopped and stared.”

The Japanimation is about Kikoman Soy sauce. The word Kikoman resembles the word for male genital organ' s head as well. Its a satire of the word and the brand.

Llocal: Police find 17 sex toys in local woman's car during DUI traffic stop
By JOHN LYNCH
WHITE OAK — A Longview woman who sells sex toys has been charged with felony obscenity after White Oak police found some of her wares in her car during a traffic stop
The arrest report describes the 17 items as "obscene materials and obscene devices," but Police Chief Charlie Smith said the items were mostly lotions and objects defined in a dictionary as having the shape and often the appearance of the male genitalia, used in sexual stimulation.
How illegal is that? Prosecutors will have to decide when White Oak investigators forward their findings to the district attorney's office sometime in the next week, Smith said.
"We'll see what they do with it," Smith said.
Kathleen Elizabeth "Kathy" Grubbs, a distributor for the national company Slumber Parties Inc., calls the charge, which carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail, "kind of ridiculous."
State law appears a little less forgiving: It's illegal to "wholesale promote" obscene materials or devices. Texas statute says an obscene device is a simulated sexual organ or an item designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs. The law allows investigators to assume that anyone with six or more of the items is intending to promote them.
In April, Kilgore police raided the Adult Book Store/Video Store at 1907 Industrial Blvd., seizing 12 large trash bags full of devices police said were being sold illegally. The raid came after an undercover officer visited the shop twice before the raid, making at least one purchase. An 11-page inventory compiled by police estimated the materials were worth $19,082. The sexual devices on the 11-page inventory ranged in price from a "Climax Band" that sold for $5.95 to a "Wild and Crazy Tickler" for $11.95; a "Hyper Sonic G" for $69.95; a "Plush Playmate" for $89.95; and a "Cyber Sexploration Kit" for $44.95.
The store owner, Robert Duggan III, was never arrested, but he agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of obscene display, a charge equivalent to a traffic ticket, and agreed to pay a fine and let police destroy the items.
Grubbs, 47, said she has been selling the items for about two months as a distributor for Slumber Parties Inc., a national sex toy party business that operates out of Ohio and Louisiana.
Slumber Parties is where the Tupperware party meets Victoria's Secret, the company says on its Web site. The distributors host women-only parties in private homes to show off their merchandise. Grubbs stresses the parties are only for adults, meaning no one allowed under age 18, and men are definitely prohibited.
"Believe it or not, there's a lot of women who go to these parties," Grubbs said. "It's very popular."
Company officials did not return a call Wednesday, but Slumber Parties claims its network of distributors sold $15 million in "romance-enriching" products, including lotions, powders, lingerie and private bedroom accessories, with prices ranging from $2.50 to $139. Sales this year are expected to reach $20 million.
The seizure of the items occured during a traffic stop on Texas 42 on Old Highway 80 in White Oak at 10:27 p.m. Monday. Police stopped Grubbs' truck after seeing her driving erratically, an arrest report said. She failed or refused to perform field sobriety tests and was charged with driving while intoxicated, and a breath test showed she had blood-alcohol levels of 0.228 percent and 0.22 percent, the report said.
Police searching her truck after the arrest found the box of erotic items. The White Oak police chief said investigators are used to finding drugs and guns, but sex toys are the first in his 22 years of experience.
"There's no telling what you'll find on one of these stops," Smith said.

Mail Carrier Convicted Of Not Delivering
A contract mail carrier in the West Point area today pleaded guilty to five federal charges of theft of U.S. mail after investigators found large amounts of undelivered mail at his home in Shacklefords.
John W. Pierce Jr., 37, faces sentencing Feb. 14 in U.S. District Court in Richmond. The crimes to which he has admitted carry a maximum prison term of 25 years.
According to the U.S. attorney's office, Pierce was awarded a U.S. Postal Service contract in 1988 to sort and deliver mail. His service area included locations in Church View, King & Queen Courthouse, Shacklefords and West Point.
Postal Inspection Service agents made a warranted search of Pierce's home in July. They found three vehicles and several pits containing undelivered U.S. mail in the rear of the home and in the surrounding woods. Under the apron surrounding Pierce's mobile home, they found additional loose mail, parcels and sacks of undelivered mail.
Inspectors removed three 9-ton truckloads of undelivered mail from the property. Later, acting with Pierce's consent, they found additional undelivered mail in a self-storage container Pierce had rented.
Pierce told authorities that during the past few years, his delivery routes had become unmanageable and he had started bringing to his home mail that he should have delivered.
