Some people I know named their newly born son "Boom", that's the Dutch word for Tree. Their last name is "Van de Berg" which translates to "From the Hill".

Tree from the hill, I already pity the guy when he grows up and goes to school. His sister is called Storm, another abnormal name, but not as bad as "boom"

This lady I worked with had a sister named "Dorkus." They called her "Dorkie" for short.

Honestly, I wonder if her parents knew they named their child with a euphemism for penis. Either way, it's still pretty tragic.

Heaven forbid anyone learns how to spell Jonathan...Hell, my Comcast bill is to Jonathon (even after I spelled it out for the person)

I realize there are multiple spellings, by mine is by far the most common one...

People can't be this ignorant. They know that fair or not a person is in some way judged on their name. I've heard of some fucked up names but the ones I've personally met are just insane.

I went to HS with a girl named Marijuany.

There was another girl last name Lust, first name Summer.

But the craziest were twin brothers.

Orangejello and Lemonjello. If you said it how it looks they got upset. They're pronounced O-rawn-ja-lo and La-man-ja-lo. Their mom needs the brakes beat off her ass for that.

Again WHY would you do this to someone?

I choked on my coffee with that Orangejello and lemonjello name...

The funniest name in my class was this poor kid named Michael Hunt. He indeed went by Mike.

Funniest name that I had the pleasure to talking to at work was Sara Lee, but she works for a candy company. Poor lady.

There's this guy who used to work at Suncoast movies at the mall and his name was Ragnarok. When I saw it, I asked if he just changed his name with Final Fantasy in mind and he said no, and assured me he'd had that name since he was born in around 1984.

Everybody else in the store seemed to just call him Ragnar.

I once knew a James Bond, and my sister's friend named their kid Tom Tom-Tom Thomas

the most screwed up name though was this girl I knew in high school, her name was Sieko Faddis (physcho fatass), ironically, she was really fat, and really wierd.

Not really, I'm not well versed in any of that old mythology, Dungeons & Dragons or LOTR shit.

to be fair, i think being called psycho fatass every day of your life just might make you into a psycho fatass.

You forgot the best one of late - Apple. Which they stole from his manager (manager has a girl named Apple). BTW Brooklyn is very popular with preppy trash.

Well, Sindri is a perfectly ordinary Icelandic name, so I don't think Björk named him that out of stardom weirdness or anything :)

Ragnar is a common Scandinavian name too, but Ragnarok? Now that's creepy!

There was a sort of contest here in Norway a few years back, to see who had the weirdest name. The winner was a guy called Durdei Disenbrom. It doesn't really mean anything, and it doesn't sound like anything else either... it's just weird.

Cass Tech in Detroit. Although I met the twins outside of highschool.

And speaking of which, how appropriate is it that Summer Lust was bad as HELL. I got through many a day in English 5 and 6 checking her fine ass.

The A/V guy at my high school is named Dick Long.

I saw a medical file for a guy named Infinite Cobbs.

But you know what I really hate? Kids that trade out letters of their names with other more edgy letters. Example: Crystal = Krystyl :p

I work for a company that sends out thousands of notices of pending foreclosure due to delinquent property taxes (yeah yeah).

Anyways, I've run across some great names such as "Norah Sacrider" and "John Ballsacker"...but the best name of all came from a guy who always signed his name "D. D. Lumpkin". Upon further investigation I found out that his name was, in fact, "Diamond Dick Lumpkin".

I don't know how these kind of things happen :(

Dude, old ass jokes that you're trying to pass off as things that happened to you. Incredibly lame.

Sometimes I wonder about people who give their kids normal sounding names, but they are spelled way different from what you would expect. Like say Mykel instead of Michael, etc. In some cases, I wonder if it's because they are just so uneducated that they spell the names the way they sound rather than how they are actually spelled. I've seen/heard of a few parents that are so, shall we say illiterate that they spell their kid's names differently every time they write them down. :p
