My kids names have great meanings... And lots of middle names ( 3 each ) that are nice and normal.... Kids can make fun of anything though, hopefully my boys can carry their names...

Mine, too. I was ridiculously careful when naming them. They don't rhyme with anything - have regal meanings - have traces of their roots and yet somehow, kids find ways to see the funny in them. It adds character and some hair to the chest to have to defend your name. (or you can just be a namby pamby and change it, like I do).

I just drank some fruit flies.

My granddaughter Little Diane's half sister's name is Trinity. That's not too bad, but there is a cousin named Oblivion (actual given birth certificate name) and who's little brother's name (again, birth certificate name) is Tantrum. A few weeks ago they were joined by a new baby sister, Journey Esmeralda. <sigh>

My son was named after my best friend (first name) and my father in law (middle name)..... His initials turned out to be BJ. Now we just need to get him a chimpanzee named Bear and a tractor trailer and he'll be ok.

Now, some of the names I've run across over the years that just baffle me.... A girl named Shithead (pronounced shi theed), twin boys named Lemonjello and Orangejello (yes it's lemon jello and orange jello but you pronounce it all as one word) Placenta (mom had no idea what it was just thought it was a pretty word) Afriqua Unique (first and middle name) Then there was the 17 year old girl who had a name she couldn't spell and when asking mom she said "I can't spell it either, I'd have to look on the birth certificate." Now why give your kid a name that you can't even spell that many years later? Of course I can't tell you what it was because I failed to obtain a copy of her birth certificate in anticipation of sharing this story on this forum 10 years later. Sorry.

Wow, those are just plain awful!

A co-worker of mine named her daughter Chelsea O. Wallace...yep, the poor kid's initials spelled "cow". The parents never even thought of how that would look until it was pointed out to them. A male cousin of mine was named Richard Peters and went by the name of Dick...he took a lot of abuse over that name.

Then you get the names that are impossible to pronounce and/or spell because the parents think they are being clever. I feel sorry for teachers having a classroom of those and having to learn them!

Oh and I forgot about the guys names William Robert.... Billy Bob. I should have started a book on weird names years ago.

Lol
Ok wired names...
I know or have met the following...
Sequoia, Ragu, Gede, Kajan, Shalom, Solarus, Leair...
Some are pretty names just odd.... Gede was from Bali.... Now Ragu.... Yup just like the pasta sauce brand....
Now my boys have some sorta different names... Both old English names.... Brighton and Prentice ....now prentice has a decent set of fall back initials... P.K , just incase people want to call him princess or Priscilla....

I have a Tamrin Renee and a Terrin Joline. Also have a Kenny Lee - but only because he was born the day before his dad's birthday instead of earlier like he should have been! He would have been Steven Kenneth then. But born on Ken's favorite sister Lee's birthday and the day before Ken's, well......

Kendra LeeAnne is named after her mom, her dad and her grandpa. Ken and Kenny became the Kendra. Her middle name is Kenny's middle name, Lee, and Jenny' middle name, Anne. Nig sister Katie is name after my mom - Kenny adored his gramma so Katie's middle name is LaVonne.
