I've met a woman with a daughter named Chlamydia (although it was spelled differently) - she thought it was the name of a flower.

Ohhhh no, that poor girl! Maybe she can sue for defamation of character.

SNL had a skit (with Chris Farly) where a bunch of bus drivers were picking up kids after summer camp and they were calling out names:

Clamidia!....Diarea!....etc. it was hilarious.

But in real life that's just so cruel..."god must have loved stupid people, because he sure made a lot of them."

ummm I hope she legally changed the childs name when she learned the truth. And what kinda friends would allow her to think this was a flower. I am sorry but if my friend told me she was naming her child that I would be like "you're kidding right?"

Unless your friend thinks the same way as you and says, "Chlamydia! What a beautiful name!" Ditto what Music-Dad said about people....

Oh that is horrible!! Maybe she can go by her middle name or something. Surely her mom wouldn't have her middle name something like gonoria (sp??).

I think "Syphilis" would have been a better middle name: Chlamydia Syphilis Jones for President. Sounds regal.

I'd vote!
