Having a strange name is very much like making love to a beautiful woman, you either learn to live with the ridicule or you change it.

A few years ago I was researching my family tree and came across a female relatives first name from the 19th century which, from the census, appeared to be 'Horinu'. Perplexed and after much head scratching and studying of the flowery handwriting, I suddenly twigged that it was in fact 'Florence'. Sorted.

Each year near Christmas, my local newspaper runs a beautiful baby photo contest where each of the ugly looking brutes, sorry darlings, has their names underneath. Cue endless hours of mirth laughing at the monikers inflicted on them. I particularly like the double barreled ones. Personally, I'd put the double barrels to the numb skull parents heads for a) siring them in the first place and b) because Elizabeth Duke earings, a navel piercing and a tattoo are not suitable christening presents for a child.

I once knew a girl who went to school with a guy called Duane.

No dramas there, until you realise that his surname was Pipe.

Who'd give a Scottish name like Cameron Campbell a second look?
Both are derived from the Gaelic and mean crooked nose and crooked mouth respectively.

The Ness parents inflicted on their sprogs the names Andrew, Vanessa and Peter.

A. Ness, V. Ness and P. Ness Shocked

When trawling through Biological Abstracts I found references to published work by a researcher with the family name "Wank".

I don't know where it is where you folks live, but down here in my country it seems to be a trent to give children "interesting names."

I've heard some of the strangest names coming by. Me personally I gave my kid a normal name. (well with my wife of course.)

I used to manage a property that was leased to a Dr Eugene Wank. He was Canadian I think.

The sisters tried to talk this young mother out of giving her daughter this name, but on her release, she was steadfast (and didn't get the connection).

Talk about an invitation for an arse-whooping.

Previous generations in Vietnam were so fecund and lacking in imagination, they simply numbered their children, Hai, Ba, Bon (Two, Three, Four). Number One was never allowed, that was regarded as too powerful, so the eldest kid was always Hai (Two).

It's a bit off-putting when you meet a guy and his name is Muoi-Sau (sixteen)... Smile

There is a lady who lives in Illinois named Sweet Meat Brown. I know because I did some volunteer work at one time regarding voter registration paperwork. Sweet Meat was well known to the officials, because every time her name would show up on a petition, some judge would invalidate that petition for having an obviously faked name. I've also heard of a child from that area named Spatula (a boy's name).

I found Nada on the list of strange names for girls, but that is a fairly common name in Croatia and means hope. What sounds like a good name in one language may sound strange in another. For instance the Danish version of Peter, Peder, means homosexual in Croatian. Razz

Nada means "nothing" in Spanish.

When I still worked in education, I was given a list of pupils at the beginning of the year and read through them. Just the usual: girl/boy ratio of the class, familiarize yourselves with the names etc etc, just like all other teachers do. I spotted one name that was so odd, even after years of working as a teacher tought it was simply too strange to be true. Decided my colleagues prolly wanted to start my hazing experience and crossed out the name.

First lesson, entered classroom, read out names, met pupils and of course skipped the weird name. Hand in the air - 'yes?' - Miss, you forgot me! Looked back at the list and muttered weird name. Could not believe it, his parents obviously did not believe in a happy childhood!! Shocked

Would have posted the name for entertainment value, but this is a real person, so will leave it out. Just take my word for it - Apple, Orange, even Cocobutter would sound very reasonable compared to that one Shocked
