A Rose by any other name....

I just ADORE the Pickles comic strip! These made me
laugh a lot. You gotta understand, living in East Texas,
we come across some very interesting names!

Here are a few of my favorite East

Texas names:

Shaneequia, Lamisha, Laquisha,

Tamitra, Laterica, Rashonda and

Lashonda or how about these

twins names: Chatonia and Chatania


Wish I had kept an ongoing list since

starting work...but these were some of

the more memorable ones I have run across!!

Most times I just spell it the way it

sounds...but for the twins I had her

spell them because I thought she was

saying the same name. Chatonia was

calling in for her sister Chatania who

was too sick to come to work!
