Yeah, some people use it as a diminutive for 'Helen' and associated names, but what I was thinking of was this... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_%28being%29] Would anyone be that... I 'unno, masochistic?Lieju said:

With a surname 'Smith', there are loads of possibilities in that respect... 'Iron'... 'Sword'... 'Armour'... 'Gun'... 'Blade'... ¬_¬ Not to give your brother-in-law any ideas or anything...FalloutJack said:
Bruce Campbell has met, by the by, probably a number of kids named after Ash. Well, at least one. It was in his autobiography, and the kid was pretty damn pissed about it.
I tried to find it, but a few weeks ago I read a PDF about naming that included the story of a Russian kid whose parents named him the most nuetral name they could think of. His name literally was this long title that went "Biological offspring of such and such born on this date", but his parents called him Bacht or something for short.
I once saw a CNN article about bizarre baby names some of them included Vagina (apparently pronounced Vag-ee-na), Marijuana, Boy, and Girl.
My parents called me Trivun. Seriously. My dad's family is from Serbia, my grandad was called Trivun, and it's basically the Serbian equivalent of Trevor. I've never been to Serbia, I have no intention of going there, and we're estranged from that side of the family (save for a cousin and aunt, who my uncle basically abandoned), but I still have the name. Not that I'll change it or anything, I like it myself. I'm the only person in Britain with the full name Trivun Luzaic, and one of maybe a handful just called Trivun (and the others are probably all immigrants, not actually British).
In contrast, I named a pair of characters in one of my ongoing stories Melody and Harmony Crowe. They're twins. I do justify it though, that their parents had a pretty bad sense of humour (they have two sisters called Natalie and Abigail, and Abby is one of the main characters anyway...).

I don't know how true this is, but i've heard tales that ever since the release of the Twilight Back-Alley Abortion-- sorry, book series and movie series, there actually were instances of children being named "Renesme."
At least slap an e onto to end, that way you've got a famous reference rather than just wordplay.FalloutJack said:
We actually pronounce it Danjel but write it as Daniel in Sweden(both ways are used though). Just saying!Mr.Mattress said:

OT: Some old friends of mine named their kid Valle. At first I thought it was a nickname for Valdemar or Valter, but nope. Just Valle. Apart from being a silly name it also rhymes with "balle". Swedish slang for penis.
He should be around six now. Got a feeling his class mates will tease him like fuck. >.<
The guy in the relationship got to choose the name. I'm pretty sure it was due to his love for Ville Valo, from the band Him.
*sigh*
Gilmore would just be cruel to name your daughter. People will always be asking her if she's Happy.
One of the weirdest names I've heard - and more than once - is Princess for girls, like really? That's not at all egotistical or confidence shattering.

Do they have to have been babies when I found out about them?
Go find a cop in a big city, and he'll tell you about names that (I swear) were designed for the sole purpose of destroying census and report writing software.
L-sha (pronounced "luh-dash-ah")
D'nasty (pronounced "Dynasty")
There's a rather long story involving brothers both named Latrevius (sp?).

A bit off topic but I onece knew a guy called andy and he changed his last name to Pirate so all of his mail would read To: A Pirate.
OT:
There was that Bethesda thing where they offered people a prize if they named their kid Dovakin and someone did.

Had a girl back in my high school who was named Echo. Allegedly, her parents named her after the first "substantial" word they found on a page in a book they loved. By substantial, I mean no "the", "a", "in", etc. Personally, I think it's a superbly shitty way to decide a child's name.
Could be worse, echo makes for a pretty decent name. After all, the first substantial word could have been, oh, say Pretentious.auron200004 said:
Whilst I'll admit 'asshole' is an incredibly cruel name for a child, naming your kid after My Little Pony characters isn't far behind.
Exhibit A: A girl named 'Rainbow Dash' who appeared on Toddlers and Tiaras.

Exhibit B: A boy named 'Twilight Sparkle'. Yes... the recently crowned pony princess.

In a shopping center once, I heard a douche-baggy, overly muscular and overly tattooed couple yelling at their shitbag kids for breaking things and running riot once.
Gryphon and Phoenix. Both boys.
If I was one of those kids, I'd be causing my douche-bag parents as much hell as possible. Good work kids.
