    Grew up with a Cinnamon Styles. Also two red-headed twins called Barbi and Bambi. How much shall we bet they grew up to do porn? :laugh:

    My great uncle's name is Richard Wascher. He goes by D!ck. Yeah. I know.

    Baby Girl Green is what Phoebe in friends thinks Rachel's baby is called (because of her ID tag).

    I've met a Coral and Reef (sister and brother) which I thought was quite cute :)

    I went to school with a Cinnamon Wetzel (sounded like Pretzel if you said it fast)

    And a Willow Tree


    I went with an unusual name for my DD... Her name is Clairece (as in Silence of the Lambs).. I guess it isn't unusual, just uncommon.

    The other day I came across a family with 7 kids, some of the names were Belle, Sebastian, Aurora and Cinderella.

    You're kidding, right? Come on, Cinderella?! They must be Disney freaks...all of those names come from Disney characters. :noway:

    I've not heard THAT many unusual names. There's a police officer around here named Thom DeLeuw. I'm a collector of strange/unusual names, and I certainly had to write that one down.

    I love to look up funny names in the corporate phone book.

    I think my all time favourite (and extremely unfortunate) was a Roger Smallboys.
    Lots of people with last name of Fuchs.
    And over here in UK we find Americans with names like Fanny and Randy very amusing.

    Right, that's my afternoon gone, trawling through the phone book again!

    I worked for a low-income program and the two names that stood out the most were 'Blowdell' (female) and 'Babygirl'.
    Some parents should not be allowed to choose names for their children...

    Nevaeh. I really dislike that name. "It's Heaven spelled backwards" and? If you like heaven then name them heaven. I'm not about to name my kid "Dog" because it's "God" backwards. A weird one is ****head, it is pronounced "Sha-theed" but we all know how we'd pronounce it. There is someone around here that named there kid something like Princess Drama Muffin...yeah. Yeah they went there. Also, my friends Grandmother renamed herself Blue Butterfly Lady.

    This is great!

    A UK magazine held an article about funny names...

    The best one must have been a married couple.

    Sue Mee (A lawyer) & Rob Mee (A Bank manager)

    Oh yes...seriously!
