Marijuana Pepsi Jackson

Posted by samzenpus on from the call-you-what-now dept.

No, Michael did not have another child. Marijuana Pepsi Jackson is a schoolteacher with a master's degree in higher education administration, and a very unfortunate name. Her mother, Maggie Johnson, picked her name. Her father objected but lost the argument. To this day, a lot of family members and best buds call her Pepsi. "Everybody I meet says this: You're nothing like I thought you'd be," she says.

  1. Weird Named Teacher by LowlyWorm · · Score: 1

    In high school I had a teacher named General Jackson Wheeler. He said his name was the source of some confusion as he served in the military as a Private.

    Why not throw in a middle name like "Fried Chicken" or "Koolaid" while you're at it?

    I've known a Per Can, and a Per Person. I remember some very striking names from Bezerkley. Why, oh why?

    I'm sure Dr Marijuana Pepper Jackson would have worked out better.

    At least now if I ever have a child I will know what to name them :)

    I went to high school with a Vietnamese guy named Huong Long (he went by Stephen... thankfully).

    I was in cadets too, and there was a Major Putts in our building. I'm not sure if that's beter or worse than his previous rank would have been: Captain Putts.

    There are times when a legal name change is entirely appropriate. This is one of them! What happens when her boyfriends are asked "Have you ever done Marijuana?"
