Okay,

I know that most of us have met or known someone who has a really unusual name.  You know...the kind that you hear and you ask yourself "what were their parents thinking???"

What is the most unusual name you've heard?  For me, it was a girl with whom I went to high school.

Her name was Kinda Short (and she really was...kinda short).

Let's hear what you have....

Tam

Unusual names, heres two.

Knew a girl who's name was April Frost.

Knew another girl, her name was Beverly Broomhead, her maiden name was, Beverly Hill, and yes she was from CA

One of my high school friends was "Chris Cross"...

Oh, I've seen a lot of weird names in my line of work (I microfilm medical records, among other things). Among the craziest names I've come across:
Pearly White
North E. West (and I remember thinking, "God, I hope 'E' doesn't stand for 'East'" )
someone whose first name was Knowledge (and thought, "Watch him be the dumbest kid on the block" )
someone whose first name was Tortilla

I once interviewed a woman with the name ....Tinka Bell ......then there where a few others i have run into in numerous places and times .. Ivanka Stinks ....... Knee sock {it was spelt diffent he was chinese}........ Marvin Tasty and the one that still cracks me up to this day is......... Feltia Members  

I knew a woman named Ima Hogg.

I met a little girl who was really shy about telling me her name. I finally got it...Gathering Flowers.  No wonder she didn't want to share!

my brother and i always try to think of funny names to name kids if we were to have them, although some may not be pc to share here...

however, i have met lots of interesting names here as a teacher...

Thong (pronounced Tong)

skye, stormy, rainbow, lluvia (rain in spanish), drakkar (like the cologne)

i am sure i will have more to add!

I knew a guy who knew a guy whose name was Ivanhoe Birdfield. I love it! Wouldn't that make a great book character?

I deal with IRS W-9 forms in my line of work and today I ran across a first name of Thumper. Dear God.

One of my aunts married a guy whose last name was Halula (no, he wasn't Hawaiian). We had a great time coming up with possible kid names. Talula Halula, Beulah Halula, Lollop Halula.........

Imaud

Was checking out in a store once.  Lady in front of me said her childs name was (phonetically) Teerae Iroan.

When she was asked to spell it  - it was - TIRE IRON

Heard this on a radio show recently. A set of twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello. Pronounced Le-mon'jello and O-range'jello.

LOL...I worked with a girl many years ago named "Linda Lipschitz"...

          and then there was Penny Hopflasht......

A dear friend has a husband named Flame and they named their son Blaze...I love all of them dearly and am so happy that their names are as unique as they are.

A friend of mine knows a truck driving team who named their son Bummer. Poor kid! Apparently he wasn't planned, but still.......

Well, here  we go... In my tiny village in Maine we had a very much loved minister named Oral Ward. I don't know how he made it through life with that name. Honestly !! It's the truth. Everyone kinda snickered behind his back. Note... Dan may take me off this site for this, but it's true.
