Big props to this woman for not wanting to kill her mom for giving her such a ridiculous name.

I mean... it's a PhD. I'm not calling you doctor. You're still Marijuana Pepsi to me.

Too bad her name was not Pepper.....

She just needs to marry someone with the last name Pepper. Problem solved! 

How many legit Dr. Pepper's do you think are out there? I'm guessing at least 100.

Well - that's ....... different.

Makes a girl I knew in high school with the moniker Bologna Jones seem almost to have a pedestrian name.

Come to think of it, nearly 40 years ago I worked with a summer temp by the first name of Pepsi.  She was cute and delightful, the name fit her.  Pretty sure her last name wasn't Marijuana, though.

I heard her speak once. Remarkable story. Her mom names her after her two favorite things lol. I guess crack was 3rd. She has devoted her life to helping kids in her situation and had like hundreds of thousands of scholarship offers coming out of high school.

Her mom did her no favors with that name, I'm glad to see her go with it and turn it into something positive.

I could have ended up with that name also. My mom loved marijuana.  The problem mightbe the D she liked also.
