Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Name For A Human You've Ever Heard? (Closed)

Lady I knew whose first name was Joy took her husband’s last name, which was also Joy. Joy Joy. Sigh.

My Dad told the story of a woman he worked with whose name was Elizabeth Stykonya, everyone called her Liz. She was engaged to a lovely guy called Eric. One day Dad and a mutual friend overheard Liz talking in the break room about her upcoming marriage and one of the girls at the table asked if she was considering hyphenating her surname. Liz commented she hadn’t considered it.

When they were back off break, Dad’s mate said to Liz that he would suggest Liz really think about if hyphenating her name would be a good idea. One of the girls got shirty and accused the bloke of being rude and it was Liz’s choice and it was none of his business.

The bloke agreed that was true… but then went on to point out… Liz was marrying Eric Colla. If she hyphenated her name it would be Elizabeth Stykonya-Colla… or as she was more commonly known…

Liz Stykonya-Colla!

Barnabe. (Barnabee?) I dunno. Ive never met anyone with this name, but I remember hearing it in a Benny Hill skit.

Savory, is not pronounced like savory food but I'm not sure how to spell out the pronunciation.

One job where I was a SysAdmin, we had a user named 'Polycarp Mguebwuo'.

Then there was the guy in the Publications department, swear to God his name was 'Clark Kent'.

In the 1960s in my hometown we have Earthalene and Epluribus.

Here in seattle, my friend's name is Awesome. Literally.

Harry Head.

Plez. A boy I used to know’s first name. No idea why…

So this is a name I hear all the time, because it's mine. My name is Noam. Not gnome. Not No-Um. It's Noam. Oh and did I mention I live in Japan. It's even worse hearing it with an accent

This will only make sense if you remember the old Lone Ranger show. In my son's middle school class there was a boy named Hiro (Hi-roh) Silba. I kept hearing what I thought was Hi-ho Silver at an awards ceremony and thought it was a joke. Then I found the name written out in the program. If the kid was a bit older, he probably would have gotten teased about it, but not many folks get the reference any more.

When I worked in Alberta there was a student named Pinky Butt in one of the classes.

I am a civil servant and I work in a health unit on the outskirts of São Paulo and strange names are no exception: Joleno (it was supposed to be John Lennon), Valdisnei (Walt Disney), Maryrryanna (sounds like marihuana), Lindão (very beautiful) inspired in the name of Lyndon Johnson...

I used to deliver for FedEx and had a customer named English King. I asked her about it once and she told me that her maiden name was Ivy and her parents thought that "English Ivy" was clever. Then she married Mr. King.

Meconium....really! It is a poor childs name, and the title of a babies first poop.

There was this one girl at my elementary school who I will always remember… just for her name.

The chick’s name was Marsip.

I’m ashamed.
