I knew someone named Latina Wood. She was a black girl, not a Hispanic woman with a penis as the name might imply.

There was a kid in our school named Kai Kraft, which translates to No Strength. Kai both being a regular first name and sounding just like the short version of none, kei.

Someone I know has just given their son the middle name Rookie. Poor kid is going to have such an inferiority complex. And about 3 years ago, they named their oldest son Paol, and gave him a middle name beginning with O so that his initials are PAOL. Which is a perfectly respectable name. Except they pronounce it pay-ol, which in an Australian accent, sounds like 'pale'. Apparently they didn't realise it was a real name.

I caught a clip of a skiing event earlier today where I could've sworn one of the skiers was named Gaylord Streitman, but you think I can find proof of his existence on Google?

Aunt named her son Alaric, not the worst name but it sounds something you'd call a D&D character.

I visited my mother over the weekend and met one of her friends, who was looking after her 10 year old grand-daughter, who I also met. The girls name was Deajah-Mai. Pronounced like Deja-vu but with "May" instead of the "vu" part.

Was processing a customer's application last week and the name was Burned Wobbles. Although I think my all time favourite was a guy I used to work with years ago called Dikshit Dikshit, any time a customer would call who had spoken to him and asked who they last spoke to it was always a case of assuring them I wasn't joking.

The best part is how the portions of the other photos we see suggest everyone else is wearing nice suits. This guy has figured his life out already. Ninja Edit: Also, I've seen a lot of women named "Dejah". It doesn't make it a dumb name, just a common one.

I was actually on the Yearbook team in my high school because it was offered as a graphic design class. One of the idiots on the English class side forgot to put down a person's name and submitted their page unfinished. To this day there are still hundreds of yearbooks out there from my senior year that have a student with the name ???, ??? in it.

You reminded me, when I was a sophomore in high school, the people in charge of the underclass section of the yearbook got to a point where one of the page designs didn't work because there were too many students on it. So instead of reworking the page design they decided, "Just get rid of this kid, no one will notice." She noticed  Those yearbooks weren't cheap either

Two guys in my department at work are Alex and his older brother Andrew, and they look different enough (different hair color, too) that one of them must look more like his dad than the other. That would have been a little spooky. venus de lmao has a new favorite as of 18:36 on Mar 3, 2014 |

Not a stupid name, but the yearbook discussion reminded me. My brother's middle name is Martin. His handwriting was bad that day or he didn't cross his T... They put in Merlin instead. Didn't help that he also is a well-trained magician. Now all these people think he's really living up to his name. When I was in charge of the senior section, I got a printout from the office. Mostly because I knew a lot of them hated their full names and I'm an rear end in a top hat.

Unfortunate names of people I've come across: Perry Winkle Mason Dixon Grew up with a girl whose name was Raini, which was ok, until she married a guy whose last name is Day. Yes, her name is now Raini Day. A friend of my parents was named Harry Beavers. Yep. He went by it, too. I think he was their Sunday School teacher.
