My real name is Maia, after the mother of Hermes in Greek mythology. It's unusual enough that I used to hate it, but now I've gotten to the point where I like not having the same name as everyone else around. ...Though I get a like embarrassed about it when introducing myself to fellow LotR geeks.

He started something...green...like Earth Day or something. Either he started it or supported it, I can't remember. But his name's Gaylord Nelson.
We had an assembly back in seventh grade where they talked about him and all the boys were snickering.

I knew a boy who was named James James. There was also the boy named John Johnson.

I work with an asian guy called Jacky Chan. Apparently he went to school with a Bruce Lee!

A few others (all real!):

Alex Hole
two brothers: Peter and Andrew Nuss

Some exchange students at my school who picked strange English names:

First and Fiat
Benz and Bank (both sets of brothers)

Elcalion

My mom was telling me about this guy she knew named Morning.

And I used to call myself thus: Nyx Artemus Saga le Fay. Thankfully, I stopped. *is ashamed*

(Yes, Artemus. The babyname site said it was real. D:)

My history teacher was telling me about a girl he went to school with named "Moonbeam Meadows".

Sounds like a housing development...

The Dean of Students at my school is named Tom Riddel. No joke.

My grandma used to teach a boy named Guy. Unfortunately, when the poor lad's parents chose the name, they'd only ever seen it written down, and, seemingly, took a random guess at the pronunciation - Gooey. Presumably he liked the name, because no one ever called him Guy.

The mind would boggle had it not already been so deeply traumatised by the horrendously bad baby names site someone linked to earlier.

three girls called Storme, Sequoia and Tsunami. The latter two were sisters.

Perhaps not too unusual, considering some of the names out there. No one ever got their names mixed up with other people's.

... claimed to have worked with a not-terribly-smart-overall woman who became pregnant and told everyone in the office that she couldn't decide whether to name her child Wayne or Dwayne. Her surname was Swayne.

Mercifully she got married to a guy named Bedford or something, who also persuaded her to pick a less cringeworthy first name.

Hey, my Chinese name may mean "precious jewel" or if you don't write it correctly..."moon", but here in America, it's the very bane of me.
Pronounced the Western way, it sounds like a personal pronoun. Who wants the world to think they were named after a personal pronoun? GAHHHHHH! I adopted a more normal moniker when I started grade school, but nooooo, my parents registered me under the Terrible Chinese Name Of Doom. So now, I'm constantly correcting my teachers and subs. Why me? *sobs*
Oh and my Chinese name is Yue.

Which I'm not gonna tell anyone; suffice to say everyone thinks my parents are horrific Egyptology nerds. --;;;

I actually wanted to name my child Talianna at one point. That was when I actually wanted children. -- *issoashamed*

He's called Janix, after his father's childhood imaginary friend. If he was a girl, he'd have been called Zenria, after a dream his mother once had. Poor boy. The kids are school are all going to call him Jane.

But that was in a newspaper years ago, so names have probably moved on by now.

Have you seen Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing? It's like sporking, but for the monikers some parents force on their unfortunate offspring.

I was told there are four men registered as "Jesus Christ" in California...

Actually, in Real Life I have a fairly unusual name, in the sense that I constantly have to tell people how to spell it, but aside from a brief stint at the age of eight when I wanted to be "Catherine", I like my name; it doesn't qualify as truly "strange".

Being Random. Shutting Up.
