People with extremely strange names.

[Quaxar]

Thankfully, my country does restrict the naming of kids so I never met any Budweisers or similar.
I'd still love my middle name to be "Danger". I hear it gets you all the chicks.

I've known guys with hideously long names (who gets christened with three hyphenated names and a triple-barrelled surname?! Seriously?!), but thankfully no-one with idiotic names.

Oh yeah? Tell that to the former German minister of defense, <url=http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Theodor_zu_Guttenberg>Karl Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg! Granted, being an aristocrat normally kinda lands you with more than one name, but that's just ridiculous.

anyways people should be able to name their kid the most retarded thing the want. It is their kid btw...

So it's okay to name your kid Gonorrhea and ruin his childhood or maybe his whole life he if he doesn't get his name changed by himself because his parents were inconsiderate fuckheads who thought it would be funny? I wonder if you'd think the same if you spent your childhood being called "pubic lice".

We actually had a colloquium at KSU where the main speaker was named Doctor Docktor.

I'ma just leave this here:


And the prize for "most idiotic and cruel parent of the year" goes to: The mother of Pegasus-Ezekiel!

Gods I love that show. And yeah, Pegasus Ezekiel (or Pegasus-Ezekiel) is a terrible name.

My first name is extremely rare. So rare in fact that people call it strange and I cannot disclose it as it makes me incredibly stalkable.

Threads like these always make me happy we have naming laws in Sweden. Apparantly womeone tried to name their child "Brunstgnägg", meaning "The whinny of a horse in heat" once. It was rejected.

Well there's my name which is just awful, I don't see why my parents couldn't of just given me a more normal name, hell, anything with more then one syllable would been fine, but nooo, they had to give me an awful name with only one syllable -_-

At a place I worked I used to go through the names in the email address book. Iva Human (locked away for eating later, perhaps?) stood out, as did the combo of Dick Biggs and Dick Smalls.

I've seen a Sickens and Dyer Auto Repair... better than a doctor's office, to be sure, but I'm not sure I'd ever take a car there. Of course Tom Raper of Indiana is famous for selling RVs, and I've seen election signs for a man named Kuntz for - and this is just asking for trouble - juvenile court judge.

There was once a Wizard, Gandalf T. in a local phonebook, and I have heard from a friend about a man named Rock Bottomley.

There was a guy in my town and his name was Harry Weiner. I don't know how many kids would prank call him but I'm sure there was a lot. My friend works at the hospital and she says there are some pretty bad names. Honestly, my daughter's name isn't that unusual but I still feel bad about naming her what I did.

My University named it's football field after the coach, Richard Wackar. So visiting teams can say they've played in Dick Wackar Stadium.

Candy Korn

Some middle eastern guy who's name was pronounced Sha-heed but was in English was written as "Shithead"

 

[SideSmash]

Leximon Felmort.

If anyone listens to ScrewAttack's SideScrollers podcast, they know what I'm talking about.

I remember that! That was ALSO featured on SideScrollers back in '07!

 

[Vrex360]

My sister met a guy in France who's name was 'Brontosaurus Gondwanaland'. She also knows a man named 'John Rainbird'.
My sister knows a lot of people who come from hippy backgrounds.

Ezekiel wigglesworth, the name of the actor who plays young rory in doctor who.

 

[w9496]

Well, there was a football(American(the best kind)) player with the name Dick Butkis, and he was actually pretty good.

 

[Hinro]

Fonda Cox. I shit you not, I went to high school with a girl named Fonda Cox. I'm not totally sure, but I think I win this thread.

I don't know. I think the girl named Ivonna Poppadic at my school might top it.

 

[quantum mechanic]

Benedict Cumberbatch has a kind of funny name. He's an awesome actor.

 

[CthulhuMessiah]

I know a guy called Andrew Ryan, and he wants to ask you a question...

I have to cousins who are twins. One is named Andrew. One is named Ryan. Bear in mind, they are ~20 years old, so it isn't a reference to BioShock.

Anyway:

Mariah Carey's kids: Moroccan and Monroe Cannon

 

[Mavinchious Maximus]

Well their is my cousin: Max Wang.
I can't decide if that name is stupid, or amazing.

that name is awesome because the ladies know what they are getting when he picks them up!

My dad apparently worked with someone named Richard Moore, but people called him dick, and the place he works uses something like a punchcard machine which has some vocal features. Long story short apparently the machine told Richard Moore to "Please reinsert Moore, Dick."
I also have a friend named Tyrus who is white, which is odd since Tyrus is generally a African American name.
