    My cousin was going to be named Ima June Bug, but fortunately they named her Julie Bug. She so got lucky on that one.

    My uncle's ex-wife is a social worker, and she said that some woman named her kids Syphilis (pronounced Sa-phyllis) and Gonorrhea (pronounced Ga-Nora). WTF?

    I've heard this story too, along with kids named lamonjelo and oronjelo. (Orange jello and lemon jello.) I think they are urban legends but I am not one to start an argument with a hawt (pronounced HAAAWWWWTTT) English teacher from Detroit.

    My mother nearly named me Forrest Greenbriar until my dad threatened to abandon the family. Thanks Pops!!

    Edit: cuz thats what you do when you write.

    My youngest nephews name is Kingston Jay... They originally wanted to name him Anakin (Star wars). I think Kingston is way better, personally. As for other weird names when my sister had her youngest she was in the hospital and the nurse told her a lady just had a son and named him Amilion (A-Million).

    I enjoy names that you don't hear very often but some parents take it too far...

    I saw an "In Memorial" post in the newspaper once where the five surviving children were all named after cars. I can't remember all of them but two were Mercedes and Tercel.
    To be fair, Mercedes was a Spanish-origin name before the car existed.

    When i worked at a hospital, we would occasionally hop onto the online nursery and see what names there were. There were two that were born relatively close to eachother. One was Pistol Patsy and the other was Furious Charles.

    I wonder if some of these start out at urban legends and then someone hears the story and thinks, "What a great name!" and then names a child that name for real.

    Moon Unit Zappa, daughter of Frank Zappa. Her siblings had odd names too, but I can't remember them. They were among the first odd names I heard when I was growing up.

    I always dug the Zappas' names, though - fit them.

    I work for a world wide company and deal with Asia quite a bit, they have some strage names......I must say the oddest i've come across are from Thailand, Watcharaporn and Jumponsak ........ :huh:

    NO joke, I communicate with them both on a regular basis.

    I have Finnish relatives, and traveled there in April. Some of the names I was introduced to:

    Outi (pronounce "Oh-tee") That's a girl's name
    Juha (you-ha) Kind of a derivative of John
    Pirkko (roll those r's!)
    Mowry


    I'm sure they thought our names were weird, though, too !

    Oh, and my Dad wanted to name my older brother TOIVO! Mom would NOT allow it! His name is John.
