SIL had a patient whose name was La-a. She was confused by it and the mother was completely flabbergasted that she wouldn't know that it was pronounced 'Ladasha.'
I'm sorry but I think Diamond and Mercedes are right along there with the stripper cliche
I will disagree w you on Mercedes. It may have become tacky recently when associated w other "brand name" names But it's an old fashioned Spanish name. I had a friend named that in high school.
OMG I had no idea! My husband is a teacher and has run across tons of crazy names so I totally believed my sister in law when she said she had this patient. She is a substance abuse counselor for adolescents and gets a lot of crazy names too.

I know a Jerzy but he's a 1 yr old boy. He's named after his polish grandfather, but I know his parents get a lot of flack for it. When his mom told me what they were naming him I had to make her repeat herself because I honestly thought I heard her wrong. I adore the kid though so its grown on me.

I have had three awesome students with crazy names: Diamond Tiara, Champagne and Special. They were both really good students and super sweet! I totally thought it was super weird that a parent would name their kid that...... but one of those kids scored a perfect 1600 on his SAT. His goofy momma was so proud...

In high school I knew a Tequila, Chardonnay, Lambo (for Lambourgini), Champagne and Alize. As an adult I worked for a very large company processing new employees I came across a Diamond and a Sparkle, real government names, what is even crazier is the were hired into the same training class.
I have told the story before about how my sister wanted to name my nephew, King Superior and my niece, Sundae (like ice cream sundae). Thank God I convinced her not to, their names are Johnathan and Amanda. Though another of my nieces is named Ja'Keria, apostrophe and all.
I work with a lady named Boots. Thought it was a nickname at first, totally legit. Tequila is horrid!! Not only in a childs name but in general alcohol terms for me. Poor girl.

One of my very good friend's nickname is Boots. It would be so much better if that was her actual given name.

I grew up in the Philly burbs, and I'm sorry, but all I can picture is my high school friends referring to going to NJ as "dirty jerz." So "dirty jerz" is what I think of when seeing that name.
I have a client w/3 girls: Mystery, Unique and Treasure Love (she was born on Valentine's Day). BARF! I work for a public assistance agency, so I see all kinds of horrid names!

King Superior! That's awesome. I've met 2 little boys named Magnus which I thought was overdoing it but King Superior takes the cake.

My nephew is now 13 and he cringes every time he hears what his name almost was!

"Ladasha" is an urban myth. It's semi racist too.

I only excuse the name Mercedes if you're of latin/spanish decent. I think it's a beautiful name.
