Let’s leave off the urban legend horrible names and stick to names of people you know
Mostly this is an excuse to tell someone that an old friend I follow on Facebook named her baby Zeppelin.
Zeppelin.
Hey little Z! Zeppo! Zeppy!
We held our son and decided between two names, so that we’d see him first before deciding which one fit him better.
I can’t imagine holding a child and thinking “He looks like a Zeppelin.”
God help him if he is a fat kid.
And his brother has a normal common name!

I knew a Spanish kid whose parents named him Ramon Ramon. That’s his first and last names. I felt so bad for him.

I grew up with a guy named Geraden (pronounced Jehr-ah-denn).
His older brother's name was Michael.

The bass player in one of my bands has 2 kids.
His son's name is Gael, pronounced "Guy-el", which no one gets.
His daughter's name is Morgan.
Another guy I used to play with had 3 kids with normal names with his ex-wife.
Then he had a kid with his new girlfriend.
That kid's name is Zombie.

There is a kid in the current daycare class down the street with the name Bones. I kinda want to meet the parents and find out if they are Trek Fans, Emily Deschanel fans or just crazy.

I know people ascribe it to pure urban legend, but I 100% subbed for a few girls named Abcde when I was still subbing.
There was also a a name spelled as Desity, but was still pronounced like destiny.
Among my close friends, there's a resurgence of biblical names. There's also one who gave both her daughters off-kilter names. Whenever she's questioned about it, she responds that, when she was younger, she was extremely close to her grandmother, to the point she wanted to name her daughter after her. The grandmother said no, my name is too common and boring, if you want to honour me, give them names that are unique and interesting!
