Weird names

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Weird names

Post by Moosader »

Having worked both at a retail store that asks for every customer's name, and a mutual fund company thing, I get to see lots of names. I can't remember many right now, but my two favorites are:

Richard Head

(firstname) Dickensheets

I'll post more if I find any weird ones.
I've heard of Dickenson and similar things but... Dick-in-sheets? I guess if you think about it, it's better than Dickenson.

Anyone else heard weird named they'd like to cruelly make fun of?

I also have a relative who named her daughter Zoe, but with an umlat over one of the O because the lady's kind of pretentious. I keep wanting to tell her that the umlat, at least in German, adds an "r" sound so her daughter's name is pronounced "Zurie". Which is actually kind of awesome.

I've always wished my name has something like an umlaut, etc. I've always loved the name Zoey or Zoe. I think it's awesome, maybe it's the Z?
