I used to have a wonderful little book called REMARKABLE NAMES OF REAL PEOPLE by John Train. He supposedly researched this and had proof that they were as advertised, names of real people.

Some favorites:

Suparporn Poopattana
Gaston J. Feeblebunny
Mary Louise Pantzaroff (!)
Mustafa Kunt (no lie)
Humperdink Fangboner
George Baretits, US Army
Cinderella Hardcock
Aphrodite Chuckass
Sodawater Bottlewalla
and
Mrs. Belcher Wack Wack (sounds like something Dave Barry and W. C. Fields could come up with)

If you ever see this little book, buy it!

A woman who gave birth at the hospital I used to work at in Jax called her daughter Placenta. She had heard the word used during the birth and liked the sound of it...

When I graduated there was a gentleman a few names after mine called Fuk Yu. Obviously it didn't mean the same thing in China, or wherever he was from, as it does here. The graduation was in Kentucky.

I knew a kid when I was in high school who was named Richard Head. I never could understand how loving parents could name their son a name like that.
