I've heard some doozies in my 20+ years of working with kids: Duran (he liked us to call him Joe), Rourke ( Mickey Rourke), some names were original interpretations of classics eg: mashell (michelle), Jaisen, etc. I also met two guys that had grown up next door to each other, and their names were Ghenghis and Attilla. What are some crazy/weird or just wrong names you've heard people give their kids?.

My Brothers friend is named Babe Olympia Precious Jewel and her sister is called Ruby Jewel. Babe however prefers to go by Naomi now and thats incredibly understandable. What were her parents thinking!

Nicolas Cage's son is named Kal-El. Does that count?

Naming kids after tv characters, in general, bugs me.

Little Chiana's or Aeryns or Inaras or D'Argos or such... Brrr! I see fans post about doing that regularly on the internet.

when I was in the hospital with my last child (Kayla) thee was a newborn being tagged Nafarious Freedom. That's a big name for such a little baby!

I've also known two brothers Art and Drew. I guess their parents were artists!

My father worked with a Candy Cane and my brother knew a James Bond. My mom used to work with a Helen Back. Honest, all these are real people. Real people we should feel sorry for!!

My neighbours just named their son Declan after the dresden files character (do I have the right show for that?)

There is a couple locally who named her son Indiana.

And yes, their last name is Jones.

I've heard stories, and I hope they are just stories, of children with the names Areola and Placenta. Apparently the mother overheard their doctor speaking, and thought the names sounded pretty.
I've considered some odd names for my children if I were to ever have any. A female would be Kayleigh, after the song, not Kaylee. A male would be Atticus, from "To kill a mockingbird". Of course, they'd have reasonable first names that they could use.

If they really wanted to be faithful to the movie, they would have named him Henry, Jr.

My nerd is showing!

As for reinterpretations of classics, my wife worked with a woman named Danyell. *shudder*

There's a couple 'round here, last name of Berger, who, inspired by the surge of nationalistic pride following 9/11, named their son Patriot. I would object to that as a ridiculous name under any circumstance, but when you pair it up with the last name, well...want some Freedom Fries with that?
