I'm feeling bored so tell me the weirdest names ever!!

#1

I once heard of a police officer with the name "Rob Bank". Not the weirdest name but very ironic.

I went to school with a girl whose last name was Graves. She always said she was going to keep her last name and when she had a child, she was going to name the baby Robin Graves. I don't know if she ever did, but I think that one deserves a mention.

I use to work with a woman who's last name was Niederguess. If she had taken her husband's name when they married, she would have been Niederguess Pozybutt.

On a different theme, in my college dorm the head of my floor was Kitty Hawk (site of the first controlled powered airplane flight). Her brother's name was Tommy Hawk (think tomahawk, a type of hatchet).

Oh! I have another one. Down the street from me, their child is Briar. As in Briar Patch- prickly bushes. So..yeah.

In the South, we keep the maternal lines going by naming our boys maiden names as first names which is why you have a lot of southern boys with last names for first names. Just a bit of trivia.

I had state testing in the third grade, and we had to do it at some church building. I sat next to this one girl who looked nice, and we talked for a bit before the test. I asked her the usual questions for that age. You know, how old are you, how many siblings do you have, what's your name, what's your favorite color, etc.


She, like me, was about 8-9. She had 5 siblings. She also had a ton of siblings. Her name, I swear to you was something like "Starshine Pineapple" with like 5 other similar sounding middle names crammed in there; Awesome, Rainbow, Rockstar, stuff like that. I thought she was kidding, but when they brought in the scratch paper for our math test, they have stickers with out student info on them, so our names were on there as well. She was not kidding. It was her legal name.

She liked purple.

My Dad told the story of a woman he worked with whose name was Elizabeth Stykonya, everyone called her Liz. She was engaged to a lovely guy called Eric. One day Dad and a mutual friend overheard Liz talking in the break room about her upcoming marriage and one of the girls at the table asked if she was considering hyphenating her surname. Liz commented she hadn’t considered it.

When they were back off break, Dad’s mate said to Liz that he would suggest Liz really think about if hyphenating her name would be a good idea. One of the girls got shirty and accused the bloke of being rude and it was Liz’s choice and it was none of his business.

The bloke agreed that was true… but then went on to point out… Liz was marrying Eric Colla. If she hyphenated her name it would be Elizabeth Stykonya-Colla… or as she was more commonly known…

Liz Stykonya-Colla!

This will only make sense if you remember the old Lone Ranger show. In my son's middle school class there was a boy named Hiro (Hi-roh) Silba. I kept hearing what I thought was Hi-ho Silver at an awards ceremony and thought it was a joke. Then I found the name written out in the program. If the kid was a bit older, he probably would have gotten teased about it, but not many folks get the reference any more.

If the boy was from a Japanese background that is no surprising. L and R are interchangeable in the Japanese language. In Australia we have two large grocery stores Coles and Woolworths. My Japanese teacher would always tell us she was going shopping at “The place that is not Coles” as she hated trying to pronounce Woolworths.
