Contest - What could be the worst possible name you could have in High School?
As the BlogLord and I were having our weekly (at least) teleconference, we posed the question above. My answer was “Prickface”. What names do you think would have been horrific? We only want names that would create great amounts of teasing and torture.
Please begin…

Well…when I was in HS, there was a group of guys that teased one poor girl relentlessly (her family was obviously very poor) and her name was Margaret….these slimeballs called her “Maggot” instead. I hope they all married VD infested women who gave them uncurable diseases. I know one ended up as round as he was tall….I laughed at him at the 10 year reunion.

I might have made a mistake here…did you mean ACTUAL names?

I don’t think Prickface is an actual name, but let’s keep it somehat realistic and fun.

OK : )
I nominate Pujoles. Everytime me and my daughter play MLB baseball on the xbox, she never fails to laugh uncontrollably when the stadium announcer says….”Up next at the plate…Albert….POOOOOOOOHOLES!”

That is a good one. Maybe that’s why he did steroids so people would stop picking on him. Better than Poopholes I guess (which is what we call Albert when the Cardinals are playing the Cubbies).
I had a friend in HS named Jeff Head. His father’s name was Richard and had a real estate company. To this day, you can still see signs around B’ham that read: “For Sale, Dick Head Realty”.

In hightschool, many names are bad and teasing can be routine:
- Butts
- Bumgardener
- Bates
- Hitler
- Clinton
- Dick
- Gay
Here is a website of stuff:
————–
Butch
SLANG MEANING: masculine (adjective). Primarily used about gays and lesbians.
BAD FACTOR: Not bad, unless he is openly gay.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Western outlaw Butch Cassidy
Colin
SLANG MEANING: No slang meaning, but if you pronounce it the way Colin Powell does, (KOH-lin) instead of the usual way (KAH-lin), it sounds like you’re talking about your intestines.
BAD FACTOR: Bad. I once had a boss who was dating a guy named Colin pronounced “KOH-lin.” People tried hard not to giggle when his name came up in staff meetings. And we were adults. Imagine junior high.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: US Secretary of State Colin Powell
Dick
SLANG MEANING: Penis.
BAD FACTOR: Bad. Many older men have this nickname (for Richard) but young men avoid it.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: US Vice President Dick Cheney
Earl
SLANG MEANING: Vomit.
BAD FACTOR: Especially bad in high school and college. No longer a popular name.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Bluegrass musician Earl Scruggs
Gay/Gaylord
SLANG MEANING: Gay (Duh!)
BAD FACTOR: Bad.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Best selling author Gay Talese
John
SLANG MEANING: Customer of a prostitute
BAD FACTOR: Not bad. Most people wouldn’t make that association.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Actor John Travolta and a large percentage of the male English speaking population
John Thomas
SLANG MEANING: Penis.
BAD FACTOR: Not bad. Kind of old fashioned as slang.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Toronto Raptors basketballer John Thomas
Johnson
SLANG MEANING: Penis.
BAD FACTOR: A little bad, but how many people use Johnson as their first name?
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Basketball legend Magic Johnson (not his first name either, but it goes well with “magic”, don’t you think?)
Peter
SLANG MEANING: Penis.
BAD FACTOR: Not bad, and most people with this name go by “Pete.”
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Nightly News anchor Peter Jennings
Ralph
SLANG MEANING: Vomit.
BAD FACTOR: Especially bad in high school and college.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Green Party candidate Ralph Nader
Randy
SLANG MEANING: Sexually excited.
BAD FACTOR: Not bad. Guys with this name might joke about it themselves.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Oscar winning composer Randy Newman
Rod
SLANG MEANING: Penis.
BAD FACTOR: Bad. Great name for a porno star.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Rock singer Rod Stewart
Willie/Willy
SLANG MEANING: Penis.
BAD FACTOR: Not bad. Slang term is more common in Britain than the US.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Baseball great Willy Mays
Woody
SLANG MEANING: Erect penis.
BAD FACTOR: Bad in high school, but younger kids don’t know about it. That’s probably why it was considered okay as the name of the hero in the children’s movie Toy Story.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Director Woody Allen
GIRL’S NAMES
Cherry
SLANG MEANING: virginity
BAD FACTOR: Okay in elementary school, but in middle school or high school, this would be a really bad name to have. The term is most often used to discuss losing virginity.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Actress Cherry Jones
Fanny
SLANG MEANING: polite word for buttocks (worse, in the UK it can mean vagina.)
BAD FACTOR: Bad at every age.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: French actress Fanny Ardant

FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Halloween peanut butter candy Mary Janes
Patsy

BAD FACTOR: Not bad. Unless their parents allow them to stay up for The Sopranos, kids don’t know the double meaning
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Singer Patsy Cline
Pansy
SLANG MEANING: feminine gay man
BAD FACTOR: Okay. Besides the fact that it only refers to men and it’s a girl’s name, that slang is old-fashioned, so most kids wouldn’t know it.
FAMOUS NAMESAKE: Gay punk-pop band Pansy Division
Priss, Prissy (short form of Priscilla)
SLANG MEANING: overly concerned about getting dirty
BAD FACTOR: Not bad. Probably not an issue after elementary school

Around here we go regularly go by the names of pumpkin head, cutie pie, a-hole, frigging prick, little shit-head, cute ass, big one, etc. In school — I can’t remember too many brain cells have died a wonderful alcohol infested death. We did talk about flying pigs a lot for some reason.

No lie, the catholic chaplain at my college was named Father Michael Hunt. Quite a few snickers when he introduced himself.
Unfortunate last names of people I knew in college: a girl whose last name was Slutski. And a guy with the last name Steinfink.
I had a Medieval Literature professor named James Dean.

Funny, I’ve never seen Mike Hunt. That is the absolute worst name ever. Slutski is pretty bad too.
