When I was a bank teller the Johnson family all shared a bank account. One customer on the account was Harry Johnson. We actually had a list of unusual or funny names. Another was Female pronounced femme-all-a. Her mom liked the name the doctor gave her.
I saw female (fe-mall-eh) and male (mall-eh) a lot when I was a med student on Ob in southern Virginia. Some Hispanic parents just assumed we named their babies for them and decided to keep it.
I used to work in customer service and a lady's name was Candy Sexton.
Also, at my work now in a NICU, some parents (drug parents) wanted to name their child "Inthew" like "in there" without the "r". They wanted to name him this because the whole pregnancy the father would refer to the baby "in there" (as in, in the mom's belly) and he couldn't say his "R's".
I also work in customer service for over 10 years . Best I've had to date Has to be "Richard horney" and he asked to be called Dick... He is a client of mine and it makes me snicker every time
La-A. Pronounced "LaDasha".. Can't make this stuff up.
....I don't believe you. There's just no way. )
I feel like La-a is an urban legend or something. Everyone knows someone who knows someone with this name or they've heard about some one with this name. But has anybody REALLY actually met the infamous La-a???

Indeed. One of the infamous works at the Salt Lake City VA.
I once had a some kids in church daycare with interesting names: big sister was named Jealousy and little brother was named Peanut. I also had a kid at the YMCA named Sir Diamond for his full first name.
I had a student named (spelled differently to protect from a Google search) Cajun Hot.
. One year I had a student whose dad was Johnny Joh.n (first name then last name) and another whose dad was Dav.e Davids. So weird to have them in one year.
My friend that works at the hospital as a director has had patients named "Baby Boy" due to them leaving the hospital without their parents naming them, then never formally doing it.
I caught up with a friEnd on the weekend who is an emergency room doctor, the previous week she had treated a 4 year old girl by the name of Blasphemy. Another friend's mother's name is Jenny, who married into the Till family (might have to read that one aloud a few times )
I work at a call center where you have to spell the names back to the caller. Guy said his name was johnny. I tried johnny, johnnie, jonny, etc before finally asking. Jon-e.
Re: Where do people come up with this stuff?
Named her twins (boy and girl) Rocky and Sandy.

I can't think of any unusual names I've done across myself but these are cracking me up!
I guess price to pay for being a immigrant and 1st generation

I also went to school with a guy named Jack Knoff

Is it bad that this made me crave lasagna really bad??
Had a chiropractor named Dr. Pauws (pronounced paws).
