I came across this name once at an old job: Bich Ho
I know it's a Vietnamese name, and no clue what it translates as. However, I feel for that person since they live in the US where it is an unfortunate nomenclature.
Actually knew another guy named Dung as well. It's interesting how some names in one country/culture can be quite a burden in another country/culture.

My kid goes to school with a brother & sister called Hero and Tiger. Yeah. He also used to go to nursery with a kid called Elvis, which... how is anyone going to think of anyone other than THE Elvis when they are dealing with this kid???
Also, there's an American football college quarterback called Munchie Legaux, which I think is such a cute name! He even says that the surname is supposed to be pronounced like the toy bricks.

All place names, which usually go to girls. There's Sierra of course, and I knew a Sydney and a Milan (siblings), and of course Bristol Palin.
Speaking of Republicans, there have been a few more bizarrely-named ones in the news recently...Mitt, Tagg, Trig, Jeb. They sound like names for puppies who wear baseball caps.

I know you said no "hilarious names", but...
"Would the women with Harry Butts please leave?"
Oh dear.
OT: I knew a girl named "Liberty". I had to refer to her as "Libby" to not crack out in a grin.
Heaven help me if I meet my friend's music teacher "Agnes Clingbeil"... Yes, "CLING-BILE". Apparently this is a decently common name. Poor girl.

George Cockburn, British naval commander.
I don't care how good a commander he was, his name is hilarious.

Who the fuck gives their kid a dog name?!
Also, one of my friends from junior high was named Urassoul (I think that's how you spell it). His name is pronounced ur-ass-ol. He was from Kazakhstan. We called him Ura instead of his full name...

The one that gets me the most is actually a last name: Krauthammer.
I just keep thinking that there had to be at least one soldier named Krauthammer with the Allies in WWII. It's just such a perfect name in that context. But what if he was stationed in the Pacific? Did he want to be in the European theater so he could live up to his name?
I actually have no idea if the term kraut is considered offensive in this day and age or not, and if so, I do apologize.

Ya. I couldn't keep a straight face during Olympics because of her. It was made especially funny because my friend's older brother was dating a woman named Destiny at the time. She was blonde and was always covered in makeup. We always joked that she was a hooker.Asita said:
In my hometown we had a mayor whose name was Harry Baals (pronounced "balls"). It's a never ending joke at my city's expense. I think Jay Leno even made fun of it once.Genocidicles said:
My cousin also told me about a kid he knew in high school who was from somewhere in the Middle East and named Anal (pronounced Uh-nahl). I can only imagine the torment he must have endured.
I know this is about odd/humorous names but seeing as how we're on the subject of names anyway, perhaps we can take a moment to appreciate the best name ever?

Manley Power.
I wouldn't have been surprised if his middle name turned out to be "Muthafuckin'".

I once saw the following name on an envelope where my mother worked:
Weylarando Fat.
That was more than a decade ago and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

OT: Archibald or Gertrude. These names have gone out of style for a reason. With first names parents at least have a choice, so you know who to blame if it's terrible, your surname is just foisted on you. I grew up in a large sheep farming area, and one of my good friends surname was Woolcock. Poor bastard.
Edit: When I was a little kid we used to read a series of learn to read books at school that featured the characters Dick and Fanny. That's a bit suspicious now I think about it....
