    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.

    I had a guy call me at work one time from our Tokyo office and his name was pronounced "Itchy Coochie". I have no idea how it was spelled, but i kept the voice mail he'd left me for years so I could call it up and play it for friends when we were drinking...it never got old!

    Acaintenaces of mine named their sons Thor and Conan...I thought that was weird, but compared to some of the names on here, they now sound quite normal.

    I worked at a call center and a lady I spoke with was named China, pronounced Sha-nay. I found that to be hilarious.

    Don't name your kids after what you were drinking when you got pregnant, I have taught Chardonnay, Kavocsea' (ka-va-sea-ay), Hennesse, & Seagram. Why???
    Also noticed the weirder the name the more discipline issues the child has in school.

    First name was most likely spelled Ichi - got nothing for the last name. In undergrad one of my friends was named Ichiro - nicknamed Itchy! We called his girlfriend Scratchy

    Actually, myself and a coworker spent hours combing the Toyko listings in the company directory trying to figure it out, but we never found anything that we could connect to the way he pronounced his name. Japanese often refer to themselves by last name, but I never did find out the spelling....

    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.

    Not urban legend.
    My husband is a paramedic and LamonJelo is the real deal... :tongue:

    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.

    :laugh:
    Sound like nicknames for the royal family :bigsmile:
    Maybe you should email the names to William and Kate... :happy:

    I have a friend named Kitty.

    Also, I've read some parents seriously named their daughter Chlamydia. Wtg naming your child after a sexually transmitted disease.

    My partner is adamant about calling a possible future son of ours Luke. Just so he can say: "Luke, I am your father!"

    Apparently they call her "Northie" which is kind of cute. But they chose North because it means strong and powerful.

    I thought it meant barren snow-covered wasteland. :bigsmile:
