major underscore Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 This is a topic all about names, and more specifically odd names (in the sense of outside the norm). I found this interesting article about how boys growing up with certain names have a greater chance of getting into trouble with the law, whereas boys with certain other names tend to live more law-abiding lives: Do odd names make boys go bad? (Orlando Sentinel) The old song by Johnny Cash, A boy named Sue, comes to mind: I also found this funny resource all about really odd names. Here are a few "highlights": - Anil G. Sh*tole (damn you censorship! that's a real name!) - Mrs Belcher Wack Wack - Cardiac Arrest da Silva - Cashmere Tango Obedience - Constant Agony - Ecstacy Goon - F. G. Vereneseneckockkrockoff - Fountain Wetmore Rainwater - Hilarius Fuchs - Miss Horsey de Horsey - Humperdink Fangboner and Fanny Fangboner - If-Jesus-Christ-Had-Not-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barebones (he later changed his name to Nicholas Barbon...) - John Senior, Jr. - Lo Fat - Needa Climax - Noway Near White - Orange Marmalade Lemon - Pafia Pifia Pefia Pofia Pufia da Costa - Pepsi Cola Atom-Bomb Washington - Preserved Fish, Jr. - Primrose Goo - Serious Misconduct - Solomon Gemorah - Sugarporn Poopattana - Urinal McZeal - Vaseline Love - Vile Albert - Void Null (I bet this person's parents were computer scientists ) - Zezozose Zadfack I'd love to see a study of how these people's lives turned out.

*MURDOC* Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I used to know a big black dude named 'Punk Roc', it even said it on his license and all. He was all gangsta as sh*t, so it didnt turn him onto punk rock or anything, lol. Oh, and everyone remembers 'Batman Bin Suparman'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyArrow. Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) The only thing I have to say is that the name is great the kid will get bullied by the Svenssons. No offence personally to your choose of name though. Edit: Oh, I thought you named your boy Sue. Missunderstanding Edited July 4, 2009 by BloodyArrow.

BloodyArrow. Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Warning! This may screw the page up, but I got f*cking shocked when I read this: 4real Superman Wheaton. 4real Superman Wheaton was born in February 2008. The New Zealand court has taken issue with his name because numerals are not allowed in names. The parents, however, are debating this law. If they cannot name him 4real, they will make his name "Superman," officially, but friends and family will call him "4real." They were inspired when they saw the baby for the first time under the ultra-sound and discovered he was "for real!" GoldenPalaceDotCom Silverman. GoldenPalaceDotCom Silverman is a $15,000 name. The Internet casino GoldenPalace.com bought the name on eBay from expecting parents, and got more than it paid for in media attention. The branded baby was born in May, 2005. Actually, the little guy was not the first GoldenPalaceDotCom, a mother of five, Terri Illigan, sold her naming rights for $15,199, and changed her name to GoldenPalace.com, as well. Savior God Scientist Allah. Savior God Scientist Allah was the name of a 16-month old Michigan boy. Unfortunately, he died after falling from a seventh story window on April 20, 2006. Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa. Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa is the youngest child of Frank Zappa. Her siblings are Moon Unit Zappa, Dweezil Zappa and Ahmet Zappa. Apparently, she was screaming louder than any other baby in the nursery, and that's how she got the name "Diva." And I suppose "thin muffins" make you scream, too. Espn Malachi McCall. Espn Malachi McCall (pronounced "Espen"), born in August 2001, is the youngest of three children in the world known to be named ESPN. Like Espn Curiel in Corpus Christi, and Espn Blondeel in Michigan, McCall's parents are sports fans. His middle name means a biblical messenger of God, so they sometimes call him "the sports messenger." If they have another son, they will name him Fox Sports McCall. Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K. Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K., pronounced, "Your Highness," was born in February of 2003 to Evelyn and Kendall. This name is (in case you missed it) a reference to the illicit drug ketamine. Lleieusszuieusszesszes Willihiminizisteizzi Hurrizzissteizzi. Lleieusszuieusszesszes Willihiminizisteizzi Hurrizzissteizzi was a resident of Los Angeles; appears in Robert Ripley's second Believe It or Not! (1948). Dick Assman. Dick Assman is a Canadian service station owner. His name propelled him to international celebrity status in 1995, after David Letterman discovered him. On the show, Joe Namath declared himself an "Ass-maniac" and Tony Orlando performed a musical tribute. Afterwards, Assman received a number of contracts for commercial appearances, as well as many marriage proposals. Who doesn't want to be Mrs. Assman? Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116. Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced Albin) was a name given to a child by the parents of a Swedish family, which they described as "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation." The name was rejected by a Swedish court and they were charged a fine. The child’s name was later changed to A (also pronounced Albin), but this too was rejected. On his first passport, the boy's name reads "Icke namngivet gossebarn," meaning "unnamed little boy." Source: click here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star-Lord Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 That's freaking crazy how in the world will a parent name their child such awkward names unless their regretting ever having them.

K^2 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I thought there were laws against idiotic names. There are laws against that in my country. In US, it's generally held that anyone can be called anything they want, and state laws tend to follow that line of thought. Some have restrictions on how it can be spelled, but generally, you can have whatever screwed up name you want. Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in this thread Frank Zappa's children were mentioned (Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet, and Diva). Dweezil's actual name on his birth certificate was Ian because the hospital had refused to allow that. He later had it officially changed. So I guess it can happen.
