Frank Zappa's kids Dweezil and Ahmed used Orangello and Lemonjello as their aliases when they'd do tv or comedy shows.

Don't know if this has been posted here yet, but this Magary column on baby names kills it.

that article was magical


The only weird [expletive] up first name thing for kids I'd ever consider doing would be naming my son after a Roman general. Indoctorine your child with thoughts of imperialism at birth.

And that's why I named my son SPQR.

If your kid's name is Senātus Populusque Rōmānus (thanks wiki), that's pretty awesome.

Tyce [expletive] you.

I honestly believe this is an urban legend. I've heard/seen this too many times by too many different people to believe there are that many twin boys named "Orangelo and Lamonjelo" running around. And it's never anyone that actually knows or has met the twins. It's always "I know someone who knows someone...."

Yea, I was thinking the same thing.

Except my mom worked with the mother. I mean, yeah, I suppose it's possible she lied about the names of her children. Personally, I've never met them, but I've met the parents - and they definitely seem like people who would name their kids after colored gelatinous food products.

It's an urban legend.
