The names that some of the "poors" on government gibs came up with were hysterical:
Electricity
Gonorea
Gonnoreo
Electro
Syphylos
Syphitris
Venereus
Venuveus
Herpetro
Sireprentis
They were often names that reflected conditions they had or shit they wanted.
These are just a tiny fraction, and I can't even remember most of them - she had crazy names to bring up at almost every dinner.
I'm amazed no one tried to name a kid "Rentontime", "FunctionalHVAC", or "NotAIDS"
The nurses were the ones who asked the mothers what name they wanted on the birth certificate.
She said in probably a third of the cases, the mothers would give a name that they couldn't spell themselves.
So my mom essentially named a third of the criminals that would plague Milwaukee in the future.
We'd be watching the MKE news in the 90's and a crime would be reported, and she'd say, "Oh, I knew Darsyphveneutian's mom. She was nice. Tough neighborhood to grow up in, though"
