HAHA! I laughed out loud when I read that.

There's a guy that works for my company and his birth certificate was mistyped so his first name is "Male"... true story! I thought he was joking until I got his DL and SS card for ID!

I went to high school with a girl named (I know I'm spelling this wrong) Gabriellashepleshette. She REFUSED to go by Gabriel or Gabby, apparently the name had religious signifance.

There was a guys name in S. Florida at a Publix Grocery Store whose first name was ABEER and his last name was Phoru. Some names are just funnier than others.

When you name your daughter Kandi, you are preparing her for that.

I went to grammar school with a kid named Justin Case.

I met some D-bag at a party once who apparently had some kind of existential crisis in his twenties and legally changed his name to Just A Name.

As for tacky names that people were given at birth, my fiancee's friend just had a son and she named him Vanderlei Jedi Gonzalez.

I know a Tab, he says when people ask his name it usually goes like this

Whats your Name
Tab
*silence* like the drink?

I don't dig foghornable names. I did have a Chip Wood as a customer for a while a decade or so back.

A couple great businesses near me in my youth....A guy named A.B. Dick had a construction company named "A.B. Dick Erectors".

Two brothers, Bill and Phil Enis, had used car dealerships on the same stretch of road. Phil's sign said "P. Enis Used Cars".

Of course there is also Chicago politician Richard Phalen....Dick for short.
