Moon Unit (Zappa), if you count it as one name.

Well, Dweezil is one name. Are there any other Dweezils?
If multi-word first names are allowed, how about Hath Christ Not Died for Thee Thou Wouldst Be Damned Barebone, son of the famous Praise-God Barebone (whose name is weird, but, I suspect, not unique). “Hath …” does seem to be a single name. That is to say, I don’t think that Hath is his first name, with the rest of the words being middle names. It is clearly meant to be a unitary sentence.)
While I am on this topic, Preserved Fish seems worth a mention, although I suspect the first name (as opposed to absurd combination of names) is not unique.
Alright, no Gilgameshes in the SSDI! That name’s reserved for my future offspring, boy or girl. Don’t any of you use it or else!
Wavy Gravy named his son Howdy Dogood Tomahawk Truckstop Gravy. As you might imagine, the boy changed his name when he was older. Said he was too old to be a Howdy any more.
Since the elder Mr. Gravy had not been named Wavy at birth, he felt it would be inappropriate for him to object. He cooperated fully with the name change.
I managed to find another Dweezil by googling. As for Mr Barebone jnr, I prefer Terry Prattchett’s take on the name - Corporal Visit The Infidel With Explanatory Pamphlets, named after his religion took a more pacifist turn.
“While I am on this topic, Preserved Fish seems worth a mention, although I suspect the first name (as opposed to absurd combination of names) is not unique.”
Regarding unfortunate names, brings to mind the unhappy choice made by Gov. Jim Hogg (of Texas, of course), who named his daughter Ima.
Link to the SSDI? Pretty please?
Zasu Pitts. The SSDI lists her (under her married name of “Woodall”) and no one else.
This is the one (of quite a few) I used above: http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/
Oh, that’s too bad. It’s always so fun when we get calls from telemarketers or bill collectors, 'cause when they’re calling for her, they out themselves instantly.
Telemarketer calling for me: “Hello–is Christian there?” Me: “Speaking.” Telemarketer: “Hello, Christian! I was calling to tell you about this exciting opportunity …”
Telemarketer calling for the Mrs.: “Hello–is … um … Yes, I’m calling for … G … J …” Me: “Yeah, we’re not interested. <Dial tone>”
Hmm, I just realized something. Since the SSDI lists only deaths, there may or may not be a Gilgamesh alive and walking about somewhere.
Dopers, do me a favor, if you meet such a person, kill him/her
kidding…maybe…
I know a child whose middle name is “Danger”. Yes, her father is a little odd, why do you ask?
