I once saw a set of twins named Crystal and Courvoisier. Their parents were big fans of booze.

Bruce. Isn’t that a stupid name? You got 9 months and come up with Bruce. I don't think I've ever actually met a Bruce in real life. At least it is a real name. Being a parent of Bruce guarantees you'll get gunned down.

Back when the Tellietubbies was super popular here in the UK morons were actually calling their kids Tinky Winky and La La.
Think about it..Most of these Kids will be approaching if not already in their 20's now.
Bet it doesn't sound so cute now.

One of my friends named her kids Raiden, Tyberius, and Cambria. I know a woman who named one of her kids Odin. Maybe ufmtd be normal if she was Nordic or something, but a Vietnamese American family, quite odd. I have another friend, and while Otis is a weird name for a korean, at least it’s a real name. Also carded another korean dude named Magnus.

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! How is Abcde pronounced? Surely not just A-b-c-d-e? Absdy?

Absidee And its real, about 400 poor people have been inflicted with the name. www.insider.com/abcde-name-popularity-2018-11

I worked somewhere once where I saw a lot of children's names. The weirdest first name was Cowboy. For middle names, it's either Lightning, or the poor boy that had the surnames of the entire Manchester United starting eleven.

When my mom was a substitute teacher, she had a little girl in one of her classes who had the unfortunate luck of having parents that named her "Placenta."

I have a relative (think she's a third cousin) who is called Nevaeh (heaven backwards). Her mother got the inspiration from some trash program about a female inmate at a prison who did the same thing. That's how classy my extended family is.

I had to shake my head when I saw a story about a little girl getting a hard time from her teachers, of all people, because her name was Isis.
They felt a need to tell her parents that they named her after a terrorist organization. Teachers! Just when you think people can't get any f***ing dumber.

I wonder if that’s because the first time I ever heard that name was a Lewis Black bit in like 2003.

I went to high school with a girl named Shadow King.
Y'know, like the Marvel X-villain.
At work a few years back, I got a call for a book search and it was a young girl, younger than teens I'd estimate by her voice. Found the book she was looking for and asked her name to put it on hold. The conversation follows:
"Yes, I have that, it's $1.99 plus tax. What name should I hold it for?"
"My name is special."
"Well, I'm certain it is, but I need to know it to put this on hold for you."
"No. S-P-E-S-H-U-L. Speshul."
"Alrighty then..."

My sister went to high school with a dude named Michael Hunt.
He changed it in the 10th grade to Mitchell.
