Kids can be darned creative when they've got torment on their minds. It's always fun to have your playmates chant "KellySmellyJellyBelly"! And I was thin as a rail as a child!
As for strange ones, Sundance, Rocksanne and Kassidi (girl, pronounced "Cassidy")

I suspect it would come up, yes. And I suspect that "it being cool" was the reason for most of the parents who named their kids in the ways that have been mentioned here.
How about giving the kid a cool nickname instead, and still give him the chance to become president one day? *G* The whole "envision their name behind a fancy title" method seems very reasonable to me!

Comedian Lewis Black did a bit on this a few years ago, there are actually children with these frikkin names
1)Asshole (a-SHOLE-a)
2)Shithead (sh-they-ed)
3)ABCDE (ab-ce-day)
I swear there were more, but they slip my mind at the moment.
Then there's actor Jason Lee(any Kevin Smith movie, my name is Earl,Etc.)
named his firstborn son: Pilot Inspektor
used to know a guy that at one time wanted to name his firstborn "Dime Bag" after "Dime Bag Darryl" of Pantera fame...
luckily for his daughter, they went with Madison...

OK if you are , for some reason, compelled to give your child a creative name..give it as the middle name so they can choose whether they think it's cool or just conceal it if, by the time they are a teenager, it's now irrelevant and stupid.
I mean come on... you really actually hamper a kid if they plan to do anything in business, banking, or law/politics. Do you really want to have to walk into a boardroom and say " Hi I'm Rocket Rodriguez"
(Robert Rodriguez the film maker's kids are named Rocket, Rebel, and Racer)No one would ever take you seriously and you'd have to work twice as hard just to get a chance.

I used to work with a guy whose name was Richard Bent. Poor guy, though nobody ever mentioned it.
My mates mum was Roseanne Rose, but before she married she was Roseanne Flowers.

Well there is (was - now retired) a boxer called Michael Bentt. Pretty obvious why he took up boxing. And then there was the wrestler Big Daddy, who's real name was Shirley Crabtree.

I think a lot of strange names that people come up with were "it seemed like a good idea at the time" mistakes. Dweezil, Moon Unit, Ahmet, and Diva, are a few (Frank Zappa's kids) though Ahmet isn't AS bad.
My bf doesn't like the name Hayden Andrew (even though its tradition in his family for the dad's first name to be the first born boy's middle name). My mother and I personally don't see the problem with it. :-P
point of interest: you should never name your child after a fruit. ever.

Can you imagine one kid using the power of the force while the other uses the power of her elfish kind. What a family. they'd kick butt.
Anyway i heard on the radio it is illegal in germany to give children stupid names after a kid ended up with ten middle names after his mother went over board.
you know what really annoys me though, is these young mothers here in NZ that uses their babies photos as their own id photos on bebo.
I can't help thinking how dangerous that is for the protection and privacy of the kid. Anyone can get hold of them.
My family tree has names like Albert Percy (that was just one guy) but also roberta, and gertrude I'm thankful for the name Joanna
