I know a whole bunch of Honda fans, but it's one twisted mind that would actually name their child "Civic."
OMG! "Dextrose"!!!! HAHAHAHAHA. I shouldn't laugh. That poor kid.

Cicero: He names his nephew.

Cicero: Caesar was a boy, yes. But not every Caesar is as smoooooth.
My sister works for an insurance company handling insurance claims. She recently got some paperwork for the birth of some lady's daughter. The daughter's name was pronounced "Shi-thy-d".....
The spelling was "Shithead".... Try growing up with that!!!

Hoor (pronounced who-er, not hoar) is the arabic word for a creature of light (i.e. angel). It's not an uncommon name for girls from the middle east... or, I'm guessing, girls born to US immigrants from the middle east.
When I was a lad, my mother had a friend who gave birth to twins, one before midnight and one after midnight. So she named them....
what else? PM and AM

On a recent flight to Fort Smith, AK my flight attendant introduced herself as "Aqua." I looked at her name badge and her full first name was "Aquanetta." Apparently her mother was a big fan of the hairspray.

Relatively short backstory:
I did collections work for quite some time and we'd sit in front of a computer with an ear piece and there would be an automatic dialer; as soon as a number was reached, the customer's info would pop up on the computer screen in front of us. We'd have to ask for the customer by name very quickly with little time to correctly pronounce it.
A couple names I saw and was embarrassed to quickly ask for:
Houng Leong (I asked for Hung Long )
Harry Dick
Harry Dick played in the NHL and died in Kansas City when I was a junior in high school. (Only reason I remember is because a kid asked to pray for Harry Dick and had to bring a copy of his obit to not get a detention the ensuing day)
