Its really sad how those wealthy folk mis-name their children. No wonder they often turn so rebellious. I understand the the guy who invented the Lear jet (Edward??) named his first daughter Chanda. tsk tsk tsk.

Oh well, I guess Paris is always going to be more romantic than Omaha...

Awww Giovanna you took my Wiltin' Hilton line ;)

Paris Hilton! I just hope we never have a thread about Justin Timberlake on here big uggggg!

LOL, Ira, I get two or three a day. I don't open them but would be glad to forward them. She's on a new reality show if you want to see more(in clothes) of her.

It's not only wealthy folk who misname their children.

I had a position where I had to get people's names for their purchases..

my 2 favorites..and believe me it was hard to keep a straight face..

Fonda Peters

Iva Titlow

No joke..someone actually called their kids that!

I suppose that if Paris Hilton can make on an Arkansas farm, we should call her Quiltin' Hilton?

Too funny Jody! I had a teacher in high school named Miss Alenius. Everyone was furious when she got married and changed her name.

I remember on my first job I prepared in advance electrician's licenses which they renewed the first of the year. I cracked up when I typed a license for Harry Bottoms, and I prayed he would request his license by mail. He didn't, I had to duck behind the counter when he came in, contain myself and handle the transaction as best I could!

His folks must have really hated him!

Giovanna, I have a friend who is dating a man named Harry Cox.

Marilyn, I dated a guy whose last name was "Smallbone" - we decided if we ever got married we would be taking my last name.

In Toronto there is a subway stop called Coxwell. When the voiceover on the train says Coxwell, Coxwell, there is always some smartass kid who says it's fine, thanks.

ParadiseLost,
<<I heard somewhere that her parents named her Paris because she was conceived there.>>
So do you think that's why Mom & Dad named me Studebaker?

Patrick and all the rest of you: MORE!! MORE!!

The Studebaker line was so good, here's your reward:

The hotel in Scotland is named the Kiltin' Hilton.

Ok, I have to add a name for you all. I used to work for a healthcare insurance company and got a call from a man wanting to know if Viagra was covered. When I asked his name to pull up his account, he told me it was Willy Long. This really was his name.

Oh my - I do love these people!! I can always come to Fodors for a laugh!

I t doesn't rhyme ...but The Undertaker in Brownwwod TX was ..Groaner Pitts!!

Paris Hilton is just a very Sick Spoiled Rich Girl that loves attentions, perphas mummy and Daddy were too Busy with their social life to give her love, instead they gave her materials things to make up for their absence .I actually pity and feel sorry for her..

I'm appalled at the idea that she was named Paris because she was conceived there. Now at long last I understand my friend's name, "Kitchen Table Smith".

I just thought of something. All you old-timers, do you remember when they said that registration would kill any fun or humor on this site?

Imagine how many kids conceived in the 50's would be named Back Seat Johnny or Jane ~

Just be thankful her parents were in the French capital at the time. Imagine if they'd been in Thailand's instead.

Although with the current video thing...

..it might have been apropo!
