The Busted Book of Baby Names

One of the things I love most about my work for Jeff's crime papers is the endless entertainment that comes from the creative, clever and sometimes downright confusing names of various folks who have gotten themselves in trouble with the police.  Whether it's the new way of spelling an old name, a great name from another language, or the question of what drugs their parents were on when it came time to name the baby, the following list is a tribute to the evolution of the English language, at least in Central Texas.  And keep in mind, this info is straight from police files.
