    Default Weird (True) Names

    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.

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

    So if you don't know his name:
    "Hey, are you 4real?"
    Want gunpowder, mongols, and timurids to appear when YOU do?

    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.

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

    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...
    RIP Tosa

    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....
