I have just encountered the oddest name I’ve ever seen and that name is Terd [name_m]Ferguson[/name_m]. Sorry, but this has to be shared. Yes, there is a company called Terd [name_m]Ferguson[/name_m] Auto Sales. I think it’s named after the owner.
Why? [name_m]Just[/name_m]… why?
[name_f]Marry[/name_f] (pronounced [name_f]Mary[/name_f]) [name_f]Edith[/name_f] Sidebottom. So her initials are M.E Sidebottom.
[name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] Poop. He was my tour guide on a trip once. He had a good sense of humor about it though. I suppose you have to with that last name.
[name_m]Jon[/name_m] Aho (pronounced [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-ho, but you can see where Aho can go awry)
[name_f]Annie[/name_f] Leach (the first name is alright, but Leach? As in the blood-sucking creature?)
I was doing genealogical research and came across a father & son (unrelated to me) named Hatevil (as in Hate evil). Pretty sure they were Puritans.
The girl who bullied me in high school was named T’L33sh@. (3 = e, @ = a). Definitely the weirdest name I’ve ever seen.
[name_f]My[/name_f] grandfathers name was Nightingale.He was the only one in the town with a name like this.
the weirdest name I’ve encountered is Anailime. It’s [name_f]Emiliana[/name_f] (her grandmother’s name) spelled backwards. Weird thing is, the bearer knows 2 other Anailimes. She likes her name and it sounds pretty after you get used to it, so it’s not that bad.
We call her Nime (nee-mee), which is cute!
I’m a substitute teachers, so I encounter a lot of weird names. There was a girl named [name_f]Princessa[/name_f] in a 1st grade class I taught once. I was also teaching a computer class one time and was just flipping through the seating charts waiting for the next group of students to arrive and there was seriously a kid named Draconus who went to that school! His class didn’t come to the computer lab that day, so I didn’t get to meet him, but still.
In my family tree, my great-great-grandma (her name was [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f]) had a lot of siblings and a few of then had really interesting names. The weirdest ones were two of her brothers, Radient [name_m]Archie[/name_m] (yes, misspelled like that) and [name_m]Loyal[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m].
thatkathryngirl- I’m also subbing right now, so I know how it is. I once had a middle school aged boy named Tootsie. It was not a nickname.
The actor [name_u]Cary[/name_u] [name_m]Grant[/name_m] was born [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] Leach. I’m quite glad myself that he’d changed it…
I’ve met a sibset of [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f], Lightning and [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f]. There were more kids (all with weather or nature related names. I’m pretty sure there was a [name_f]Buttercup[/name_f], but not 100%.), but those are the names I remember. It actually suited them really well, but they were the most unconventional names I have heard in real life. They do live in the nearby New-Age / hippie town though, so those names fit right in. They were really lovely kids, and their parents were lovely too.
A kid in college was named Cocaine, pronounced [koh-KAHN-nay]. It was seriously his official, birth certificate, drivers license name, parent-decreed name.
A kid in elementary school who’s name was pronounced “[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]” but spelled D-A-H-L-I-A
Identical twins in middle-school who had the SAME spelling A-N-D-R-E-A and the same last name and no middle names, but their mother insisted that one girl was named [name_f]Ann[/name_f]-DRAY-uh and the other was AWN-dree-uh.
In my own family: Hermogenes, Dominadora, [name_f]Dominga[/name_f], Oping (not a nn), Dracos
I went to school with a girl who had a baby at 15 and named her [name_f]Precious[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u]. While I’m sure there are worse names I still feel bad for her! [name_f]My[/name_f] grandma used to work in the hospital and heard all kinds of crazy names. One that sticks out is “Vaginitis”. Apparently the mom didn’t have a name picked out and she saw that word somewhere in the hospital and thought it would be a perfect name. Poor child.
Oh I have one more I just remembered! I used to work with a guy named JP but he refused to tell us what it stood for. Once I found out what it stood for I didn’t blame him! JP stands for “[name_m]Judas[/name_m] [name_m]Priest[/name_m]”.
He was about 14 and his name was Life.
I once met a girl named Tomorrow. I thought that was interesting.
I have quite a few, haha.
A 17 year old girl named [name_f]September[/name_f], who insists on Septie as her nickname, and who tells everyone her MN is [name_f]October[/name_f], but no one is entirely sure…
The brother of a family friend, named [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Ringo[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] (he sadly passed away the other day, but that was definitely one of the names on the unusual list).
A little girl in 2nd grade named Serissa.
A little girl in 1st grade named Maryline ([name_f]Caroline[/name_f] but with [name_f]Mary[/name_f] where [name_u]Caro[/name_u] should be).
A little girl in 2nd grade named Sha’uri, with a sister named [name_f]Sophie[/name_f].
I know a boy named Sthorm, prounounced “storm.” His older brothers are [name_u]Skyler[/name_u] and [name_m]Greyson[/name_m].
[name_f]My[/name_f] great grandma’s whole name was [name_f]Monnie[/name_f] [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] [name_f]Miley[/name_f]
