"What were they thinking...?", continued

I am not going to lie...now, when I walk into a new classroom I consciously search out a class list so that I can peruse the names. Secretly, I WANT to see something odd, abstract, or ridiculous. If the names are normal, I am slightly disappointed.
Luckily for me, parents obviously want to make my days a little more entertaining because I continue to come across the world's worst names. I have quite the list of names NOT to name my children.
The latest additions?

Safari (girl).
Precious (girl). Aw, isn't that precious? No.
America (girl).
Stoney (boy).
Sailor (girl).
Clear Water (boy). The worst part about this boy's name is the story behind his name. When his mother's water broke, the water was clear...so she named the baby boy Clear Water.
Moon Face Man (boy). He is Clear Water's brother and he got his name because his face was white and round like the moon when he was born. (Oh.my.goodness.)
Rain (girl). And yes, her middle name was Cloud. I'm totally serious.

I am still waiting for a Cruise? Telephone? Or possibly California? The options are endless.
