The best name I've run across is Novelino Fidel Castro <Lastname>. Apparently, local custom on Sumatra is that the mother will name the baby after whatever comes into her head when she first looks at it. He had a slight fuzz on his cheeks and that doomed him. That's "New little Fidel Castro" in English. He goes by "Novel". Also, I never cease to snicker over ridiculously long Bengali names. Things like Bhalasubramani Ranganathan. Sir Lemming posted:I can explain this one, it's a Swedish version of Gertrude. I guess they thought it had too many letters. And syllables. Gerd is also a common man's name in Germany. Short for Gerhard. Which would explain why a man carries it. Bees on Wheat posted:I knew a Kenneth Kenichi ((Lastname)) in high school. He was half Japanese, so I guess his parents wanted to give him a Japanese name and a western name? Not sure why they'd pick something so similar, though. I knew several other half Japanese kids and they all had western first names and Japanese middle names that made sense, but this poor guy got to be Ken-ken. And you bet that was his loving nickname as soon as any of us found out. It kinda almost makes sense if they were thinking: This way he could go by "Ken" in both countries and wouldn't have to adjust. But that's still stupid because they could just name him Ken instead.

I'm pretty sure Gerd is also used in Flanders/the Netherlands, though it is by no means common. e: Gert is much more widespread, but apparently it has the same etymological origin

These make me laugh every time I drive past them. Not thread related, but when a guy named Bateman was running for sheriff his signs kept getting vandalized to Bat Man.
