Naming of Hybrids ( weird/wonderful ? ) Male
Default Naming of Hybrids ( weird/wonderful ? )

is possibly the most unscientific of all. I can understand when a breeder uses a Memorial name - honouring a person that has passed away, or a combination of both parent' names - but some defy imagination

Phal Ugly Person
Phal Wild Turkey - there is an OB posting. The bloom doesn't remind me of a turkey at all !
Phal Super Stupid
C Oxymoron
Phal Miva Fanny Believe Always
Paph Alien Surfer Dude

I know some names are strange because of the English translation, so sort-of OK.....but...
Are there other strange names you have come across ?
