One of my dad's best friends is named Oak Cinnamon. Nice old guy. I've also come across a woman named Marcella Pancake, which is adorable. I was also very nearly named Piper. My last name looks like it should be pronounced "shoe", so that would have added some fun times to grade school.

Lady Arcadia posted:I think the weirdest one I met was Melisandre, like the name of the character from GRRM. As far as I know that's where that name originated. It's actually just a really old name, pretty much falling into same category as Dorcas and Myfanwy. Melisandre is an old French and German name derived from words for "strong" and "industrious". I'm not saying that it wouldn't be awkward to be named any of these things in modern America, though. Especially Dorcas. That's just begging for your little baby girl to have permanent emotional scarring.
