Ezekiel, though uncommon, is at least not something made up.

There are some food delivery services (i.e., websites that have deals with a bunch of hole-in-the-wall delivery-oriented restaurants to take orders from you online and forward them on to the restaurant) that will text you the name of the delivery driver when your order is on its way. I use them now and then when I have late-night munchies, and sometimes I get a text that says "Your order is being delivered by JESUS" or "Your order is being delivered by MOHAMMED" and I get a chuckle from imagining the actual religious figure delivering my food, and then immediately feel like an ethnocentric rear end in a top hat.

I was looking through the recent mugshots on my local paper's website earlier. I saw a Tomis, an Edwardo, and a Kodey in the recent arrests. A good source for weird names/dumb spellings of normal names.

Overheard by my friend: "Myracle, with a Y" Seen on Facebook: A couple is naming their baby daughter Tryniti Dawn. Mom on Facebook: "And yes I know that's not the typical way to spell Trinity." Male Tiers has a new favorite as of 19:15 on Aug 14, 2014 |

I had a chuckle for similar reasons in a gift shop in Las Vegas that had all those keychains with names and stuff on them, and they had run out of some names on a rack. Of course they had little signs behind them informing you of this. One of them said "We are currently all out of JESUS, please check back again later".

Makes sense, all the kids who grew up watching Hanna Montana are now around 16-21, which is the perfect age for the sort of person who would name their child after a character on a TV show to start having kids.

Watching Toddlers & Tiaras (I know) and there's a girl caller Keratin, it was probably spelled Kerratynn but definitely pronounced "keratin".

I do fundraising for nonprofits and campaigns, and when we do phones, there's no shortage of hilarious names. Some of my favorites so far: Russell Butts. This is a man a coworker called who said he would donate later, and asked for a call back. This process repeated for weeks, every time he was called, Russell here would ask to be called later, with the promise that he would donate. Eventually, he did, but to this day, the process of repeatedly calling someone back to make them follow through on a pledge is known in our office as "Russell Butts-ing." A Balthazar, whom I call fairly regularly, and is a wonderful man with a wonderful accent. On a call I just made, I was told that I had reached the voicemail of one Dick Clapp.

- A guy at my school was named Harold Butt the third. I think his father and grandfather must've had the 'Boy named Sue' mentality. - My brother had a Camelpreet in one of his classes. - I was teaching in Korea, and one of my students had a name 'He Sukk' (to counter-balance it, I had another student named Han Sol, which is close enough to Han Solo to be awesome).

Historically, this (along with Casper and Melchior, in a variety of spellings for all three) was considered to be the name of one of the Wise Men in the Bible. It might be odd today, but it's a name with a lot of history. Plus, the English translation of Crono Trigger totally used them for the three Time Sages or whatnot.

I met a woman called Titiporn. It's apparently a common Thai name that means "benevolent blessing" or something like that. She's a very serious, dour woman.

Came across an Indie Manly whilst sorting mail at work. How someone with a name like that could lead a normal everyday existance and not be a superhero/porn star/pro wrestler/all of the above baffles me.

I came across someone called "Analyse," and I was totally puzzled until I realized it was just a strange spelling of what I'd think of as "Annalise"/"Anneliese." I'd thought it might be some weird sidelong reference to those Puritan verb-ish names like "Increase" and "Praisegod." (How insufferable would that be, if parents who were fervent atheists named their kids Rationality or Logic or something?)

You'd have to work pretty hard to find a sillier fundie name than Marjoe Gortner. (I'm not imitating Wayne Gretzky. That's actually a guy's name.)

On the "names to avoid" front, everyone I've ever known called Rebecca or any diminutive thereof has been a complete and utter bitch. Becky, Becca, Becci, they're all evil. Eric, too, I think I only know one decent Eric. Content: my friend named her daugher Laylanii. I cringe slightly every time I see it written, but most of the time at least I can pretend it's spelled normally when I'm talking to her/her daughter. She's black so I guess it's more of a cultural thing for them, most of the black kids I know have fairly unique or different names, or something uncommon and spelled creatively.

A guy I know and his girlfriend are having their 5-month-old daughter's name legally changed, because they are apparently illiterate, and gave her the middle name Titin instead of Titan. Her first name is Zynah.
