We’ve done these weird name threads a few times before. Another variation is the unusual name that you’ve known two of (unrelated to each other). When I lived in Hawaii, I knew two unrelated people named Mordecai Barzelai. (Or maybe Barzalai.) It’s a Jewish/Israeli name (although not of Hebrew origin), and I’ve been told it’s common. But two of them in Honolulu??? A few years ago we had a thread – several, actually – about the Everybodytalksabout family. There were several of them in the news for one nefarious thing or another. It appears to be a Blackfoot name. I found a genealogy of Blackfoot names, many of them interesting descriptive phrases. See thread here: > [@Everybodytalksabout](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/everybodytalksabout/660521): > > The subject of this [article](http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Charge-Men-raped-woman-with-vodka-bottle-at-4480564.php)(rape) obviously isn’t funny, but one of the rapists’ name is Nathan Everybodytalksabout. And it’s not pertinent to the story, so they have no reason to mention how WTF it is, even though obviously everyone reading it is going to be thinking that. You wouldn’t even have to know this guy is a rapist to know he’s an asshole. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weirdest-names-youve-ever-heard/915747)._
