Good thing you didnt say batman, or we would have big issues.

I had an African-American lady who worked in the factory in Richmond who's name on her application was Brown, Female. I had to go over to HR to ask if there'd been a mistake. It turns out her name is fuh-mall-ee, Female Brown. She was an absolute riot to have around!

Knew a kid in school named Richard Whacker. He had a serious chip on his shoulder.
Worked with a guy whose last name was Butz. He told me his mother's maiden name was Dickson, so he said it could have been worse if they hyphenated their names.

The barber in the little town where I grew up was named King Sampers. I always that was a pretty cool name; King.

I had a classmate whose first name was "Pepsi"

Just read it. I didn't see where they were saying it wasn't true, but I have heard my wife embellish occasionally.

In my best Bevis & Butthead grunting giggle, I think having the last name pronounced, "BONER" is kinda funny....

I went to elementary school with a girl with that name. I think I was in 3rd grade. Didn't figure out that it was funny until after she moved away, though.

Dagmar is an ancient Scandinavian name. It might not sound pretty to us but at least it is, in fact, a name as opposed to Apple or Barkevious.

I can actually take goofy names better than fad names. There are three boy children on my street (which is small) with the same fad name.

The worst that I personally know is a super hawk who named his kid, you guessed it...Hayden.

This. I was reading recently how there had been a huge jump in babies named "Katniss" this year. (I'm assuming it was nearly zero before) How big of a trend slave do you have to be to name your kid that?
