I noticed in another thread that people were discussing the weird names they've heard in their life. I have met some people with some pretty interesting names.
Neo and Vista- my friend's twin nephews. They're two years old now, and they're very cute kids, but inevitably when they get introduced to people, the reaction is "Neo? VISTA?"
Darth V. - someone I know. I don't want to post his surname so I'm not going to, but it's pretty funny. Most people don't believe him when he tells them his name...
Meliffany - one of my dad's coworkers. She says her parents couldn't decide whether to name her Melissa or Tiffany, so they combined the two and ended up with Meliffany. She hates her name, but says it is too much trouble to change it.
So, do any of you know anyone with a unique name?

My mom is a teacher--she used to teach elementary/primary school, and now she teaches middle school. Some of those kids have the weirdest fucking names--not even exotic ethnic names, just weirdly awful names. It's hard to remember all of them. I remember...
Tre'John (tray-john)
Schylir (the same as 'Skylar')
Kamyrynne (for 'Cameron'--really)
Chyameine (I think that was it--it was pronounced 'sha-main')
That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

Sage and Zen
The worst part is the woman is Japanese. I mean if you want to go Japanese, give them real Japanese names, not stupid, hippy, I was high on acid when I named them names.
Oh did I mention our Brittany's name is Sage?

Same, except my mom is in elementary and stayed there. Very recently she had a kid by the name of Jack Daniels, as in, that is his full first name. |

The "weirdest" name I know is one I'm hesitant to share because she's my ex.

My best friend in high school was named Danesha. (These an accent on the e, but I don't have the key for that.) Pronounced Dan-A-sha. It was always funny watching new teachers call roll the first time!

Talking to my mom now. More names! She's seen...
Precious
Unique
Shyeianne (for 'Cheyenne')
a younger sibling named Ty-Shawn (someone named their kid this after the panda in DC, but obviously didn't get the spelling quite right)
And I remember some hippy-granola family at my mom's school yeeeears ago who had this rabble of kids with... really weird names. One of the boys was named Atemiz, but the one that sticks out in my mind is Gwynyvyrre. Yeah, I'm not sure either.
*shakes head* I really feel sorry for the kids! Except not, because some of them are MONSTERS.

My friend's mother is an elementary school teacher and swears that last year she had a girl name Beverly-Hills (as her entire given name) in her class. My grandmother used to teach 4 th grade before she retired, and she had stories about some of the weirdest named kids she'd ever had. In 1967 she said she taught a girl named Banana Sunshine (again, that was her first name). She also taught a girl named Charmin (like the toilet paper), a girl named Cyrenety (pronounced Serenity), a boy named Lucy, a girl named Weaselle (pronounced way-sell), and a boy named Chrysler. |

My dad's best friend growing up was named John Damm. Yes, DAMM. My dad got into a lot of trouble in school once--he was trying to get his attention and yelling down the halls, "DAMM! HEY, DAMM! GET OVER HERE, DAMM!" and a teacher grabbed him by the shirt collar and told my dad he had a DETENTION for using that kind of language in HIS HALLWAY. So the teacher called John over to sort it out when my dad insisted that that was his NAME, whereupon uncle John answered, "My name is John DALY."
Also, many years later, John's daughter Meg drew a family portrait for her preschool class, and announced in front of the entire class and a bunch of the teachers, "THIS IS THE WHOLE DAMM FAMILY!"
