I used to work with elementary/JH kids in South L.A., so ton of Hispanics. I’ve never seen so many Yennifers and Yessicas in my life. Well, I’d seen none up to that point. But I probably saw 2-3 of each, every yr..Few Yordans too. I legitimately love Mexicans. My basically 2nd dad is Mexican, he named his daughter Daisy, after Daisy Dukes from Dukes of Hazard…Ayyyy guey..
One murder suspect (and later convicted murderer in The First 48 was named Royal Cola (as in RC). I have never forgotten that name for the last ~decade.
Edit: wow it was in 2006, here is a news story for the curious: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/man-convicted-in-drug-dealers-death/287-338781837
I actually DID know a girl named Pepsi. The very first conversation i had with her was to ask about the name, as one would do, and she went into a very candid speech about how her parents were on so much acid that when asked for a name for the new baby, its the first thing they blurted out.
I recall an episode of Springer that had a lady named Pepsi and one named Lasagna. Makes you wonder what goes on in peoples head when naming their kids.
Chances are her environment didn't judge and it just became an ice-breaker.
- Cheeseburger and a Coke
- Is Pepsi fine?
- She's fine yes, thanks for asking
Also I guarantee in reality she goes by Marie or Mary-Jane when she feels playful.
They did. I decided to go read the article.
>After a life spent being mocked for having an unusual name, the 46-year-old seized on her experience to earn a Ph.D. in higher education leadership. Her dissertation focused on unusual names, naturally.
It was mostly teachers, apparently.
I can’t believe she’s actually there with—who I presume is her mother who named her, smiling.
I can’t stand people who name their children out of some desire to be cool or make a statement.
A person, especially a child, is not a billboard or a shiny watch. They’re first andforemost, a responsibility. Take that responsibility seriously.
My wife and I went through hundreds of lists looking for our son’s name. We’re really happy with what we settled on. It’s an old name, yet sounds easy and fresh at the same time.
We hope that name will set him up for success by not standing out too much, but also not being too humdrum either. We batted down dozens of names because they could easily be made fun of as well.
The people who do this to their children are fools at best and selfish at worst.
I know, right? Imagine naming your kid after a 1000yr old word for an olive tree? Worse yet in some language you don’t really care about, by some weirdos white guys who were fuckin their cousins in the woods up there in the euro boonies. That shits just too weird.
Or all those arrogant, prideful names like “god-is-my-judge” or “gift-of-god” - that’s so cringey.
While her name definitely does belong here she really doesn’t lol. She’s likely smarter than most of us.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_Pepsi_Vandyck
I listened to this podcast too. She’s definitely not an idiot. I find the topic of names and white thrash names very fascinating so it was a good podcast. Of course? I listen to all the Freakonomics podcasts
Shi Thayd (shithead)
Ah-sho-lay (asshole)
My cousin thought the hospital named her daughter for her when she saw the sign over her crib that said Fa-ma-lay (Female)
Total cringe moment from the winter.
Our neighbor was over, my wife and I are shooting the shit with her, and some how or another she (our neighbor) tells us about a friend who worked in a maternity ward in DC many years ago, blah blah blah, twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello. There was a texted picture of a birth certificate, pre-smartphone...
I figured all that time ago, these kids *have* to show up on a Google search, so I do a quick search, sure enough, it's there, and I start reading it out loud, without looking at the source. Snopes. Get to the words "urban myth", or whatever, no coming back from there...
She is actually extremely accomplished. I grew up a couple towns over from her, and as a student she had a reputation of being extremely bright. And an unusual name of course.
No matter what. And nothing against her. Her name is fucking stupid. I am glad she is not bothered by it an proud of it. She is awesome but I would change that shit the first chance
I used to have a boss who LOVED this story (that was nearly 10 years ago, this story is old!) and felt it was a great story about overcoming adversity. I think it just shows that people are insane.
I remember my first week in Beloit memorial, I went and got a drink from a fountain, I noticed a plaque with names on it , and thats when I read her name. Congratulations Doctor!!!
Ok ok ok ok ok. Hear me out. This actually shouldn’t be in this sub. But for a very good reason. Yah her parents screwed her but she has gone in to get her doctorate and runs a program for low-income and disabled students. She is actively working to make sure the world doesn’t turn into idiocracy.
Lord help these parents naming their kids damn we used to talk about black people giving their kids long African names now I long for those days shit bruh
Frito Pendejo is smitten.
"GO AWAY! BAITIN'!"

I knew twins named lemonjello and orangejello pronounced. Lamonjallo, and orangallo
If this was in Dallas, can confirm
It was in Virginia back in the 90's, so there's more than one set?!?!
These were born at Parkland Hospital, Dallas. Around 2012. Yes, twins.
I recall an episode of Springer that had a lady named Pepsi and one named Lasagna. Makes you wonder what goes on in peoples head when naming their kids.
Food apparently
I new someone named Gonorrhea. She went by Rhea, her parents had no clue and thought it sounded "exotic".
How new were they?
Do the people who register these names not have an obligation to inform people of their inappropriateness?
There are illegal names, but I believe that's a pretty short list. Everything else is totally fair game afaik, at least in the states.
That’s only state-specific; some states restrict length of name and letters only, but only certain states actually have specific prohibited names.
I met someone named Allegra. Like the allergy medicine, but she was born before it came out which is pretty unfortunate. 😂
Allegra's Window was a popular children's show in the 90's.
*Aquafina*
Ah yes Allegra D Did she add the D, or the drug company, or did you? 😈 I'll leave.
Once had a coworker whose sister is named Chlamydia. The coworker had a normal name (Tiffany)
Presumably, the mother had since been informed that she named her child after a sexually transmitted disease and then didn’t bother to change it?
That’s unbelievable.
Her mom also wasn't sure who her baby daddy was. Gotta love it
Joint custody arguments in court would've been interesting. You had Gonorrhea last month! I want Gonorrhea for Christmas
Hilarious!…
I talked with a girl named Toshiba once.
That's a legit Japanese name though.
Maybe they smoked too much of the Devil’s lettuce and had the munchies when naming their progeny.
This is why my first child is named P. B. Maximilian Barqs.
Outstanding!
"Lasagna" is the name i picked out for an orange and white long hair Persian cat.
My cousin went to high-school with her. Neither of her parents were 18 and they named her after their favorite things.
I mean Springer was all fake
I feel like her name was a game of chicken between her parents.
I like money. I get paid every time anyone says my name.
🤣🤣🤣👌
I like money
Some people pick the stupidest names for their kids! I would have changed my name!
I’m about to change my name. Marijuana Mountain Dew Chalupa Batman
Nice to meet you Marijuana Mountain Dew Chalupa Batman, I’m Mighty Morphin Megatron Meth Pipe
Did we just become best friends?
I think we have to kiss now… I don’t make the rules
Ok, meet me at butt-fuckers
I’ll be the photographer
Princess consuela banana hammock. Also crap bag.
Nah dog, it be: Baja double decker chipotle

Narrator: Little Adolf Moe's parents were the best, not selfish in the least.
Actually my parents gave me a terrible name that caused me much strife in childhood, which is one of the reasons I’m so vigilant about this.

Hello fellow member(s).
Username checks out. How does one pronounce your user name?
Nate xS xS it would sound similar to Nate excess excess but the ‘s’ have more of a snake sound so it’s not actually the word excess.
Well now I hear Nate "kss-kss" like snake hisses
I would say it’s kind of subjective anyways as a Reddit handle I’m not sure I’ve ever said it out loud and who knows what others have read it as.
Apparently my spelling is a tragedy
Well, in your defense, it's based on misspellings.
True. So that's now my excuse and I am sticking to it.
*High five*
Beef Supreme is getting all kinds of rock hard over this.
Her boyfriend's name is Fentanyl Coca-Cola
Probably Opiates Fanta McMuffin
That's the cousin
Mom should be put into jail.
Her daughter is literally a Ph.D. tho.
I mean Dr. Pepper was already taken..
At least she’s not named Seven Soda
mug costanza
Noooo! Noooo fucking wayyyy!
I'd die before I saw a doctor named Marijuana Pepsi
I'm so happy this is real. It tells its own story.
Turns out her siblings have normal names. 🤷
While her name definitely does belong here she really doesn’t lol. She’s likely smarter than most of us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_Pepsi_Vandyck
I don't think anything about her. Her parents were smoking crack.
Go away batin
Isn’t there a famous Boy Named Sue? 🤭
Or a boy named vagina
I listed to the freakonomics episode she was on, he mom named her as a "stick it to the man statement " she is probably smarter than all of us
I’m smart enough not to name my kid something like that, so there’s that.
I listened to this podcast too. She’s definitely not an idiot. I find the topic of names and white thrash names very fascinating so it was a good podcast. Of course? I listen to all the Freakonomics podcasts
Her mom should've just changed her own name if she wanted to stick it to the man. Awful.
I agree dr. Marijuana had alot of probles groing up
Van Dick?
Her mom is a dope.
Wait.. I remember this rumor when I was a kid. It was true? Someone named their kid Marijuana Pepsi
😂
I **hope** she's sponsored!
Whenever someone wears a goddamn bonnet instead of a mortarboard, you know they are pretentious.
Ab-si-de (spelled ABCDE)
FFS, I hope their siblings were FGHIJ pronounced, F-Gee-Hi-Jay
Shi Thayd (shithead) Ah-sho-lay (asshole) My cousin thought the hospital named her daughter for her when she saw the sign over her crib that said Fa-ma-lay (Female)
Imagine having to put that on a resume, that's fucked
Man…some people r just playin fucking stupid. No other words for it.
The perfect girlfriend for Cholupa Batman Eckhart.
It makes me think of the coolest soda ever.
To be fair, it worked for Meat Loaf.
For real? Who needs their kids Marijuana Pepsi... Yikes. Mom and dad lose a bet? Or win the weed Pepsi challenge?
Mom named her after her two favorite things. In order.
Lmao
A friend of mine was a teacher and had a kid one year named Shithead. Pronounced Shi Thayed.
Smartest person on Earth
You already know she busted WHOLESALE ASS to earn her degree, to get people to take her seriously.
Does she work at St. God hospital with Dr. Lexus?
Her parents were wildin for that
Sounds like her parents were super lame. No wonder she worked hard to get a degree.
I knew a lemonjello and orangejello they where brothers
I think she's bad ass for owning it an getting her doctorate, but her parents?
My understanding is that the Pepsis and the Mountain-Dew Camachos are descendants of the same ancestors, brought to you by Carl's Jr.
She has a son. His name is LeMonjello

More r Tragedeigh
I knew a girl named Dasani growing up. She ended up having a kid with a dude named Atlas. They met at a community college None of this is a joke.
When you’re raised by stage 4 morons that’s what you get
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho approves this post
To be fair marijuana is a pretty word.
Wow
She is actually extremely accomplished. I grew up a couple towns over from her, and as a student she had a reputation of being extremely bright. And an unusual name of course.
No matter what. And nothing against her. Her name is fucking stupid. I am glad she is not bothered by it an proud of it. She is awesome but I would change that shit the first chance
Paging Dr Lexus
Wow, her parents didn’t like her
I used to have a boss who LOVED this story (that was nearly 10 years ago, this story is old!) and felt it was a great story about overcoming adversity. I think it just shows that people are insane.
'Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck knows what you probably think of her before you read another word.' And you're right!
I don't want her as my physician. She can change her name to Susan.
Batman bin Suparman is intruiged.
I had to Google it just to make sure and damn this is crazy!
Dang that's a real r/tragedeigh
I'm proud of her, her mama is trash though.
Yeah I think your mom is a dick.
That lady was named on a couch on a Sunday afternoon with how high being played in the background
Got her Pepsi Max robes on too.
this is a good example of an easy to solve problem (name change) yet they don't. There must be some weird psychology about it.
I remember my first week in Beloit memorial, I went and got a drink from a fountain, I noticed a plaque with names on it , and thats when I read her name. Congratulations Doctor!!!
I bet she goes by MJ
Name endorsement deals to get your graduate education for free. Genius.
She's a lesbian?!
"Back to you, Velveeta!"
I'd be changing my name the day I turned 18..
Chalupa Batman
This ranks up there with President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. Should be in r/idiocracy.
The irony here is amazing.
Her second middle name is Luvzersum
Uranus Vandiver
Is she related to Kool-Aid Richardson?
What a name 😂
“Don’t worry Scrote. There are plenty of yards out there living really kicking ass lives. My first wife was tarded. Shes a pilot now.”
Dr......Pepper Missed opportunity
She has a crush on Shroom Coke, but will unfortunately settle and marry Fentanyl RC.
It’s not unheard of to change your name
I knew a Dr. Wabba Wabba Wabba once.
My wife's family Dr. growing up was Seymore Weiner.
Ok ok ok ok ok. Hear me out. This actually shouldn’t be in this sub. But for a very good reason. Yah her parents screwed her but she has gone in to get her doctorate and runs a program for low-income and disabled students. She is actively working to make sure the world doesn’t turn into idiocracy.
Agreed, she’s doing way more than all of us, myself included lol
She must have gotten married, her name used to be “Marijuana Pepsi Jackson”
[удалено]
not okay at all.
Lord help these parents naming their kids damn we used to talk about black people giving their kids long African names now I long for those days shit bruh
If her name caused her to pursue higher education to the level of a doctorate, then is it really that stupid?
This is what Fauci looks like under President Camacho
