BELOIT, Wis. (AP) - You might think a name like Marijuana Pepsi
is right of out an old Cheech and Chong stoner flick. But Marijuana
Pepsi Sawyer is the real name of a Beloit, Wis., high school
teacher. An aunt remembers the name Marijuana Pepsi seemed to fit
right into the post-Woodstock era of the early 1970's. But Sawyer
says it was tough growing up with that name. She says from the
teacher taking attendance in class, to filling out paperwork, her
name is never ignored. Sawyer tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
people always think she's joking. While she's named Marijuana,
Sawyer says she's never touched the stuff herself.

Well OF COURSE it’s a real name…of a Lornamead hairspray. Aqua Net.

I’m sure anyone with stylish hair in the 80s remembers it!

I also know a set of twins named Rhythm (boy) & Ryme (girl).

Happens way too much…. Funny names I’ve seen: S’Phyllis, Lemonjello, Va-gina. People should be given a literacy test before naming a child. Also, know how to SPELL the kid’s name, BEFORE you name ‘em!
