I knew a girl in my dorm once who's name was Al'isha. I ain't kidding you. And this girl was white as hell; like the type of girl that would get white girl wasted.
Unusual, Strange and WHAT THE F**K!! baby names you have seen or heard.

That's seriously better than "Bruce Leroy".Deshara said:
I saw a girl at a store once whose nametag said "Shardonnay".
My friend had a kid in his high school whose name was pronounced "Orangelo", but the actual spelling was "Orangejello".
This one only sort of works, but I used to be in the Military, and there was a guy I worked with whose last name was "Sergeant", so at one point in his career, he was "Sergeant Sergeant".
Major league sports has (and has had) some great names, including:
D'Brichashaw Ferguson
Barkevious Mingo
Al Albuquerque
Captain Munnerlyn
Ben Gay
Yourhighness Morgan (yes, seriously).
My mom had a job as a hairdresser some years ago, and one time a young boy named Watt came to get his hair cut. Yes, as in the unit of energy transfer used to classify lightbulbs. Next time you read a comic book and the bat-themed supervillain's real name is something like Kyle Roptera, just remember that real life will always find something weirder to offer.

Concerning D'brickashaw, I thought it was a joke name made for Key & Peele, but then I remembered about the little rant they had about his name and some others BEFORE the skit.Ihateregistering1 said:
In fact, I think it'd be best if I just posted the two East/West Bowl skits here and called it a day.
My favorite? Ozamataz Buckshank.
Blade Smith sounds like a hard-nosed detective from an 80's "dystopian future" sci-fi flick.SckizoBoy said:
Note: the VAST majority of bronies are not stupid or obsessive enough to name their kid after a pony, and they have the common sense to just enjoy the show and not try any of....this. Naming one of your pets after a pet from the show (Winona the dog, Tank the tortoise, etc.) is not so farfetched, though.Evil Cabbage said:
Gryphon, I can't speak for. Phoenix, however...VanQ said:
OP: I haven't seen a good many bad names, or at least any I can remember, but someone else said something about naming their kid Al'isha and that sort of thing pisses me off. I know you're trying to be unique and "normal" at the same time, but just name your kid Alicia and stop trying to be clever. Same with all these other names....well, most; Trivun is pretty cool, but I think that may be because it's one letter away from Trigun and my otaku senses are tingling. Still, if it means "Trevor", then by all means, keep it.
Goodluck is not that unusual in Africa - the president of Nigeria's name is Goodluck Jonathan. Twisha is also one I've heard of before, it's not THAT uncommon. And why is Samanda on there? While not as popular as Samantha or Amanda, it is a reasonable name from my perspective.
The rest really are absolutely crazy though. Pity for the poor kid whose name is Thunder. Or, ugh, Google. That's just cruel. I can't imagine the thought process that led to the parents naming their child Google. In school he will be taunted with a million questions and probably constantly punched while his tormentors say "I'm feeling lucky!" or "Search!".

Given that I watch the show on and off myself, I'm thankfully aware of that - I just think that these individuals are incredibly cruel. Oh well, at the very least, if someone tries to pick on them for it, they can then question how they know so much about the show in the first place.
I met a couple of eco-activists by the names of Zion Lights and Neo Morpheus Trinity Redwood Salak, so that's probably the weirdest I've come across. Doubt those were the names they were given as babies somehow, though. I also knew sisters called Brieze and Pebbles, who had brothers called Jaden and Kestrel, and yes, those were all their real given names. Their parents were called Fred and Helen, so maybe they just wanted to get back at the world for their own relative normalness.
Fedora? Well, I guess she's euphoric a lot...
This stuff makes me glad that there are actually guidelines for what isn't an acceptable name over here.

I haven't met too many people with crazy names, but I have a friend whose middle name is Thor. I'm still absolutely baffled why he goes by his first name.
To be fair, most American names are the names of flowers, names of minerals, repurposed greek/latin words, or names ripped from a certain book that you can find in 99% of hotel drawers.
I generally like names that are 3 or less syllables--anything could work really, Daisy, Rose, Gold, Bismuth, White, any reasonable last name (like Smith or Doe).
As long as it isn't a terrible compound of two words (BatMan, CatDog, etc), a kitchen appliance, a pop-culture character, or an offensive/slang word, I'm probably fine with it.

I was in a waiting room once and when the nurse came out she looked at the chart and paused. Meekly she called for 'S...head'. To which an African American woman replied "It's Shithead! (Pronounced 'Shith-ayed')"

I knew someone at university called Storm. To make matters worse, her brother was named Rainbow. Storm was happy with her name, but her brother got his name legally changed to Robert as soon as he could, as he 1)hated the name Rainbow and 2)he felt that he would have a better time getting a job and be taken more seriously if he had a more normal name. I suppose it would be hard to be taken seriously being called Rainbow when you are working your way through a Law degree.
I once read a story about someone whose name happened to be Le-a (pronounced Le-dash-a). Yeah, good luck with being taken seriously with that name.
I dunno if the name Unique is unusual, since I've only met one person who has that as a first name. Yeah, she was unique, all right. She was a flipping mental case.
