I went to college with 2 girls named Sunny Dawn and Misty Autumn.
I had a camp counselor named Rayla - her dad was Raymond, her mom was Laura.
When I worked for a financial firm, I came across a legal document in someone’s file that showed he changed his name from Harry Brestt to Hal Brett. He was a photographer.
‘Sean lamb’? I don’t get it. Unless you’re pronouncing it ‘shorn’?
Actor Rob Morrow named his daughter Tu.
My dad was in the navy with Tom (not Thomas) Dick (not Richard) Harry.
Yes. How else would you pronounce it?
‘Shawn’
When I say ‘shorn,’ I pronounce the R. It rhymes with horn and torn. I say Sean as ‘Shawn,’ rhyming with lawn and dawn.
A cousin named both of her sons after Air Force bases. Actually, it was just a coincidence, but I tease her about it when the conversation lags.
I used to work with a guy named Minter. ISTR him saying he was named after Minter Field, less than 50 miles from his birthplace. We called him ‘M-Cubed’, since his initials were M.M.M.
I looked up up just now out of curiosity. Seems he died in January 2006. He was only 56. He seemed so much older when I worked with him in the '80s. (But then, I was younger then.)
Oh, yeah… Actress Swoosie Kurtz was named after ‘The Swoose’, her father’s B-17 in WWII.
My high school science teacher was Earl. E. Bird - No kidding.
I was in Boy Scouts with Doug Gough (rhymes with cough). It’s possible that his parents named Doug’s younger brother Jacob (went by Jack) after what they should’ve done instead.
Ron & Cheryl Howard gave their children middle names based on their places of conception. I wonder how the children feel about this being public knowledge.
Lyndon Baines Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson named their kids Lynda Bird Johnson and Luci Baines Johnson.
Ben and I (mostly) jokingly came up with baby names after firearms manufacturers.
We’re having a boy named Jonathan, but he was dead serious about naming a daughter Kimber.
I forget where I read this but I remember an article about a family of baseball fans that named their two boys “Nolan” and “Ryan”.
I also work with a guy named Pat Butts. (seriously)
What did he have in mind for a boy’s name? Sig? Wes? Colt? I guess you could fudge a bit with Walter…
Oh, for a minute there I was concerned/worried/convinced/horrified that I might be having twins. So, you know, Smith and Wesson. John and Moses (or even just John Moses for one kid), Colt, etc. He agrees that Ruger is more a puppy name but thinks Remington is just fine.
Also, he says “Fudge nothing. Walther is a fine name.” 
He’s goofy.
I know a family whose lastname is Cristo. The first son is always a Jesús, of course.
Oh, I should say that I didn’t veto his name suggestions; Jonathan was actually his idea. Like I said, the gun names were mostly joking but, given a daughter, he genuinely likes the name Kimber paired with my middle name, Elizabeth.
It’s grown on me a lot, though I still like my pick which is Madeline paired with my mother’s middle name, Rochelle.
Glad we’re having a boy. Girl names are HARD.
