People with extremely strange names.

[DanielDeFig]

It's nice to know that in some countries (like Sweden) it's actually illegal to name your child something that could be the source of psychological stress/trauma.

Personally I haven't come across too many weird names, unless you count "English" names given to ppl I've met during my upbringing travelling in African countries. There, it's not unusual for people to give their children "poetic" English names. (Examples: Lightwell, Beauty. Basically, take words that actually mean something and make some quite beautiful names out of them, rather than generic names that don't mean anything anymore).

I've known guys with hideously long names (who gets christened with three hyphenated names and a triple-barrelled surname?! Seriously?!), but thankfully no-one with idiotic names.

Oh yeah? Tell that to the former German minister of defense, <url=http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Theodor_zu_Guttenberg>Karl Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg! Granted, being an aristocrat normally kinda lands you with more than one name, but that's just ridiculous.

Well, the guy in question is French (hence all the hyphens)... =P

Anyway, you can tell that minister's a Catholic, never understood why they got 'Maria' and 'Joseph' among their middle names (usually, regardless of gender). Still, I love German noble styles, one of the reasons being you don't get 'of and at' or 'by' in any other language. IIRC, though, 'Freiherr' is treated purely as name, not a title...(?)

I have met a Dutch girl named: Lieka de Kock.

I didn't believe it til she brought out her driving licence..later I was told she was gay.

 

[Palademon]

Slartybartfast (Cookie if you know where it's from).

HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I can't quite remember her name, but I think there was a new girl at a lower year in my school called Princess Bagsack.

 

[El_Chubba_Chubba]

I use to go to school with "Gorim Jones", and "Riamwii Jones".

I think that the whelsh surname just makes its perfect. Their names are completely unique because they are both a mix of their parents names.

The Dad was called Gorin or something, and the mum was Rima. (I'm not sure the wii came from haha)

 

[Robert Ewing]

I know some youtubers called Alex Goot. And Corey Sugg.

I also know someone called Valerie Terecxictl Abundiiya.

 

[Vault Girl]

I would totally name my kid Atticus, because i think it's a great name, but know they will more then likely get picked on for it.

 

[E-Penguin]

Ben Dover and Harry Hole comes to mind. Seriously. Who names their kids those kinds of names?

Also having the same surname and first name is also pretty bad.

Harry Hole, as in the fictional character from a bookseries by Jo Nesbø?

Or an actual person named that?

I know that the fictional character name is pronounced differently in norwegian, the original language the book was written in.

I still pronounced it in english, though.

 

[Josdeb]

I know a little girl with the name Alchemy, but I'm pretty sure that name is super bad-ass

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

so im tasmanian right. and i know this dude who named his kid Thylacine. Thats the scientific name for the tasmanian tiger. An extinct dog thing that pissed off the white colonists by eating their sheep.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I remember hearing on the news about a guy being refused a driving license or something because his surname was Dikshit (pronounced 'dixit') and the DVLA thought it was fake. Certainly believable, I used to work with a guy whose surname was Rakshit, although he pronounced it like 'ratchet'.

 

[Sovvolf]

My name is relatively harmless but my initials are: S.A.S and thus I am the ultimate badarse, state of the badarse-art .

Actually, a Freiherr is kinda like a baron.

 

[priestswearseatbelts]

Richard Sexual..... You're thinking Dick Sexual, right? Worse. People would wait for him to be in the distance and shout "Bye" "Bye Sexual".

 

[shadowyoasis]

I use to come across a lot of personal data from people.

I came across one Asian immigrant couple that were named Mang ho (Husband/Father) and his wife Bich Le.

Granted these names were not given to them in English and in their country were more or less Normal. But in english....

 

[ToastiestZombie]

Hmmm, the weirdest name I can think of out of the people I know is someone called Matvey. He is a Russian immigrant so that seems quite likely.

[look, its an edit!] I also know someone called El, well at least she can always guarantee to call her character in rpgs her own name, unlike me (name is Matthew btw)

Oh, I knew that, but I thought that since the German constitution didn't allow the upholding of patents of nobility, noble styles were to be treated as names as opposed to titles.

About 'Freiherr', I always had trouble getting my head around it, because it translates literally as 'Free Lord', even though I always associate 'Herr' with 'sir (informal)' in accordance with common parlance of the translation into English (e.g. Meine Herrn - feel free to correct).

Precious Roxanne Stones. Her parents were horrible, horrible, people.

Phani Tikkala
Bhatman Supaman

I shit you not.
I've heard of someone called Candy Cart/Kart too, but that's not as awesome.

 

[Redingold]

This guy I know has an uncle called Phil Mabbutt. He also has a cousin called Justin Mabbutt.
