Since there haven't been any recent "odd names" threads...

I’m doing a little overtime work and happened across this one: Beat A. Imhof. Yes, it’s a real name; Mr. Imhoff is from Switzerland and holds a few patent applications in the field of cancer treatment.

Sorta in the same catagory, under a Local Business:

Johnson Sharpening Service: Drop offs or While U Wait.

HAH!

I knew a Rembrandt imitator painter whose name was Abijah T. Johnson. He was fairly well off through his amazing skills (looked so much like the originals, many reviewers were fooled before his sig was pointed out), but he was almost certifiable as a loon. Not so crazy that he couldn’t function in everyday society, but well beyond simply eccentric.

He was also a good photographer and I was working for an art broker and running a photo studio at the time, so I kind of fell into associating with this very interesting fellow.

That name has stuck with me. In fact, I use a part of it as an online ID in some other places. (Abijah_T_Bindersnatch)

I got some spam the other day from Uganda P. Homesteaded.

Those guys got a random word generator or something?

I have a winner: I met a little girl the other day named Ninja. Seriously.

A work associate: Peter Shaver

I’m easily amused.

Yep. And now, so do you! Have fun.

I worked at a summer school this year, and some of these kids have crazy names.

Wolf
Tiger
Major (and his siblings, Cyan and Talon)
General
Nautica (and her siblings, Aumnya, Ovious, Envious, and…Thomas?)
Linden and Rowan (sisters)

In my job I deal with property deeds, and a few of the names that have shown up are:

Rock Messerschmidt
Oral Butcher (wonder if he’s a dentist)
Crystal Laser (married to a Robert Laser)

Oh, and I forgot one little girl: Halle Wood.

Kidde R. Setback at yours. :smiley:

Was his last name Major as well? Because that’d totally rock!

That would be a catch 22 for sure.

Where I work we have two customers whose names make me giggle when I think of them together: Harry Johnson and Willy Shavers.

My random name is Chandler R. Wiretapper. :cool:

Some random data entry names:
Future Blu’Silver
Thaylarr
Meghaan (yes two As)
Zhhaniqua (yes two Hs)
Howard James

(All of these were girls’ names, btw, including the last one.)

Didn’t the lead singer of Korn name his kid Pirate?
