DIPSY

 

 

If you have seen the ‘Teletubbies’ TV series you will recognize the name Dipsy.

SAGACIOUS, JHUNERST, And GHROWIZARD

The person who told us the story has no idea why his family has these names.

SPAGHETTI ’88, MACARONI ’85, And SINCERELY YOURS ‘98

The phrase ‘Sincerely Yours ’98’ is inspired by a trend.

This family has three children. The first born was named Macaroni ’85 and the second Spaghetti ’88. And since ‘Sincerely Yours ’98’ is the couple’s last child, the father wanted something used to close letters.

The second child obviously has her father’s sense of humor. She thought Spaghetti should go with cheese so her children should be named as such. And then we have Parmesan Cheese and Cheese Pimiento.
