Weird (True) Names

[The Stranger]

who knows some weird names that "truly" exist, aka people were really named like that.

I start with Argwumpel, it is one of the least used names in holland, which means at least one person carries it, the poor child.

[FactionHeir]

Wasn't there this story about some parents naming their kid "4real".

So if you don't know his name:
"Hey, are you 4real?"

[Dutch_guy]

I heard this rumor that Chinese parents were naming their children 'Olympic games'. No article to back that up, but it's a pretty funny rumor.

[Viking]

How about the football team Odd Grenland, or the first name Odd, or perhaps Even?

[FactionHeir]

So which of these are you?

[The Stranger]

sorry I meant names for persons, surnames or prenoms...

For the Dutch speaking folks:

Renaat Vleessalaat
Bo Terham

A friend of mine who is a pediatric oncologist sends me regular updates on the most absurd names he comes across. Here are my favorites:

Abcde (pronounced Ahb-sihd-dee)
Twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello - named after the mother's favorite foods while pregnant
Meconium - The mother heard the doctors using this term in the hospital and thought it sounded nice.

[The Stranger]

Stallion
Twisty Poi

[Lemur]

Twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello - named after the mother's favorite foods while pregnant

That one is from the book Freakonomics, which has an entire chapter about weird baby names, including several that I cannot reprint in the Frontroom. I'll just say that one of them is supposed to be pronounced "shut-HEED."

[The Stranger]

Hey, reminds me of another Dutch name:

Gheyle Griet

[naut]

Sage Moonblood - Sylvestre Stallone's kid.

[Devastatin Dave]

Placenta...
My wife told me she heard a story of a girl who named her newborn Placenta. The girl must have thought it either sounded pretty or the drugs from the delivery had not warn off...

[CountArach]

"Crystal Peak"

I felt like vomitting every time her name was said...

Yeah that Talula does the hula was pretty funny.

Twisty poi is also a funny one when you realkise that a "poi" is a type of "ball" on a legth of rope that is used by ladies in traditional Maori dances or Kapahaka.

I went to school with a guy named Justin Dick and the captain of my cricket team named his child Cameron. Thus with the last name Hill he become Cameron Hill or the shorten version Cam - Hill.

Martok will be proud....
