Do you know anyone with a weird name?

[Anoohilator]

I know a guy named Mustapha and a guy named Orbeline.

Mustapha is a very common arabic name

My friend Yuki. =D

Not "Yucky", "You-key"

She's awesome.

[Ammer]

My sister was going to name her son Rain, and I was in love with that name!

I've always wanted the name Lake, I think I'm going to name a future kid of mine Lake. Maybe spell it differently, like Laik or Lech.

Please not "Lech". It's an abbreviation of the word 'lecherous' and I'd pity any kid with a name like that.

Well, apparently "Lech" is the Polish version of "Lake".

[Igg]

Well that's totally fine if you're in Poland.

[Paul]

I say Ammer calls his first kid 'Loch'.

[Uncle Xyzzy]

I say Ammer calls his first kid 'Loch'.

I'll name my kid Ness if you name your kid Pokey, then my kid can beat up your kid's dog.

If translated names count....well i knew this girl whose name when spelled with chinese phonetics is spelled You Can Die (You being the surname, can die in chinese means colorful butterfly) "Die" prounounced more like "dea", can't think of a close enough english equivalent for "can" at the moment. :p

The first time 1 of her teachers saw it in the class register she was so surprised she read it the english way rather than following chinese phonetics, I think her parents overlook that....its actually a rather pretty name in its orginal language...

Pretty common name in Japan, actually.

There's a girl at school called Niesje. Teachers struggled with her name so much.

I love it when international students from Asia come over here and make up their own names. They usually either pick really old English names (like Ethol) or random words (like California or Flower or Diamond or Candy) lol.

We had one called Cherry Wang.....

[Christopher]

I know what you mean. All Korean women somehow end up picking the same name, Yvette.

[Ginger Harp Seal Pup]

There are two names for girls that I'm particularly fond of. I like Teal and Tawny. What do you think? I'm very fond of birds and these names are cool.

[Byakuya San]

I don't personally know the person, but one of my friends has a classmate whose name is Thank God. Also, my dad told me that one of his classmates named her son Moon Unit.

It's a pretty cool name now.

I knew a guy named Berney - he was my college roommate sophomore and junior years. Not Bernard, but Berney. That's what was printed on his birth certificate. He tells me his dad wanted to name him Jupiter (in honor of JP Morgan), and his sister managed to stop that by saying, "Dad, all his friends will call him Jupy!" Apparently, this nickname was so mortifying to Berney's dad that he went with choice number 2.

I've got a friend named Keesha. If I remember correctly, she was named after quiche

[Yixzy]

My music teacher was called Vaugn Williams (sorry cant spell...).
I think maybe he changed his name though...
