    i do like a few crazy names, and some more unusual ones, but some of the blatantly made up ones, or "yoonique" spellings of normal names, are just chavvy

    One of my friends has a nephew named Jasper. A co-worker recently named their son Clyde. I realize these names aren't that "out there" but all I can think is poor kids. Thank goodness you can change your name when you grow up. I've always hated my first name and I plan to drop it when I get married.

    Hey! I love the name Jasper and if we have a boy in the future there's a good chance he'll be named Jasper.


    I've known a Blessing and a Radiance. There's a brother and sister I know named Gucci (sister) and Armani (brother).

    Oh I just remembered. . .We had a waiter once who introduced himself as Chicago. We asked if that was a nickname and he said no, his parents figured if people could name their kids Dallas or Savannah, they could name him Chicago. Somehow it seemed to fit him.

    A Hawaiian couple named their child Talula Does The Hula, seriously.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7522952.stm

    I heard about this too. The couple was actually from New Zealand, and came to Hawaii on vacation and liked the name.

    I have highly disliked the name Neveah cause of 16 and pregnant. Didn't realize that name was so common until I heard it on there. I bet the show Teen Mom has ruined a lot of names.

    Funny that you bring this up. I read an article that reported a decrease in popularity in a lot of the names on 16 and pregnant, but a significant increase in the name Maci and Bentley because she's such a well liked character on the show.

    I met someone named extrafine once, yes extra fine. Interestingly she wasn't, I guess people don't always grow to fit their names. oh and there is a movie star who's kids name is I am pretty sure pilot inspector.

    Pen Gillette named his little girl Moxy Crimefighter. I kind of love that one. :)

    And, of course, Nicholas Cage named his son Kal El (Superman's Kryptonian name, for the non-geeks).

    I love the name Kalel! That is going to be my little boys name. It also means "Best Friend" in Hebrew. I don;t think it;s strange at all!

    Here are some odd ones I remember

    Misty Gale (maybe her parents were sailors)

    Ahyme (prounounced Amy~which was how she spelled it. She legally changed the spelling to Amy when she turned 18. In all honesty as a fellow Amy born in GA, during the 70's I thought her parents came up with a good way to make a very common stand out)

    **** Skinner (US Marine Corps recruiter, I really, really wanted to see him make the rank of Major)

    My sister in law is Heaven Leigh.
    My mother in law is Lotus, and her sister Ginger.
    Yet they all get mad when we named our daughter Freedom.

    I have weird-named kids for where I live.
    Ehren Brye and Freedom Reilly.

    Ehren, no one can say it, but sounds like Aaron. Brye, no one gets that either. It's like Rye, but with a B.
    And Reilly. I went with the real, male Irish spelling. Yes, she's a girl, but there are plenty little boys with girl spellings lol

    My father inlaw's step father was named Adolf. I think it's a pretty common German name.

    Well, my name is Ashee, and that's not particularly normal. I've met a man named Ding :) haha. Oh, and my boyfriend swears if we ever have quadruplets, their names shall be Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence King...after the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. I told him he's an idiot. If I was the most gorgeous girl in the world, I would still feel hideous if my name was Pestilence King.lol.

    The guy who sprays our house for bugs is named Dink

    While my sister was in the hospital almost 22 years ago in Kansas city, a lady was having twins which were her 5th & 6th child that she named Twin A & Twin B. While my daughter was in 1st grade there was a boy names Phuc, many of the kids were not nice with the different jokes for his name. I knew a guy that came into my work whose name was **** Bangasser. There are many more, I believe in unique names but some are just too far out there. Lol!
