Strangest names you’ve encountered?

What is the weirdest name you have have encountered in your life? There was a boy at my elementary school named Elvis. I wonder if he has since changed his name. There was also a women on the news named Velveeta. Someone I know went to school with I kid you not someone named Pepsi Cola Marijuana.

When I sold eyeglasses and did the contact lense teaches, I encountered some names I struggled with. One was a patient who wore one hard contact lense and his name was Randy D***. One lady was named Pocahontas Biddle. Two sisters were named Ameran (the electric company) and Laclede ( the gas company name). There was a doctor in Little Rock named Dr. Lipshitz. A dentist in St. Louis was named Dr. Cocayne.

I am sure there are more but that is all I can think of right now.

Harry Potter.

Legit not making that up.

He was born way before the Harry Potter series.

Peaches.

I absolutely loved her name and it suited her well.

I imagine potter a pretty common sirname

that said, I encountered someone called jack daniels (the alcaholic drink), but the weirdest name I've encountered was a boy called spider.

honestly he probably changed his name now... who wants to be called spider? (so embarrassing!)

I also knew some twins called orlando and washington. orlando, okay, maybe not so strange, but washington as a first name?

oh yes, and then their was a boy I knew, honest to god, named " skateboard."

When I was a kid I read about someone named Bovina Pospihickel.

Then there was the nurse named Trula Gorey.

Ok, not to be inappropriate but in elementary school a girl was named "vagina" but it was pronounced "va-gheen-a" I think she was polish or russian.

in a tv show I watched the main character had the first name curly.

Gofart, I'm thinking it was pronounced differently than go fart though

"barty"

I thought it was weird enough being in harry potter, but I know a female with that name

Two of my classmates were Tal and Noy.

Regina - it is the name of my community but it is also a girl's name and it is pronounced 'ra-j-eye-na'.

on a game show yesterday the contestant was called "cookie."

High school early 80s.... new kid arrives in class and identifies himself as 'Rocky'. "Don't get smart with me young man," is the teacher's response. He said that really was his name. She accused him of giving her attitude. Yes, it's my name, it's on my driver's license he goes on and of course she only gets angrier. This eventually ended with him being sent to the office. The final result, she had to give him a public apology in front of the class. It sure didn't diminish her hostility towards him. What a struggle it was.... and his sister? "Bunny"

Twins named Kitty and Tommy Hawk.
Graham Crocker
Ima Finkle

Dragana.

You see some interesting ones in South American soccer. A few off the top of my head - Derlis (Paraguay) Yoshimar (Peru) and Jucilei (Brazil). Brazil also has a long succession of names like Weverton, Everton, Ednilson, etc.

There was a student at my university named Keeper of the Birds

My husband is Czech. To the English-speaking ear, many Czech names are quite odd sounding. My husband's and his sister's names are normal-sounding, but here are a few common Czech names that are a bit odd (some without diacritical marks). Keep in mind that many Czechs go by shortened nick names. For example, many men with names ending in "slav" are called "Slavek", for short. Or something else even totally different. Also, many Czech women name their daughters after themselves. And their daughters. And their daughters. You end up with various nicknames to differentiate between them. For example, for the name Hana, you may hear "Hanka", "Handa", "Handulka", "Hanjura", etc. They also use a lot of diminutives, like "Hanicka".
