I knew a woman who literally had terrible names for all of her children, except maybe a few. The worst ones were Precious, Nova, and Princess. :S
To me, they sound more like cat names!
Boleslaw....seriously....Boleslaw....
And, my little sister's best friend when she was a kid was a girl named "Candy"... her last name? Barr. She went on to become a stripper.. what did they expect?? =)

Well, Boleslaw is a polish name pronounced nothing like coleslaw. But yes, to the English speaking world, I can see this name being made fun of. But I just had to clarify it's definitely of polish origin.
