I babysit from time to time for a girl named Winter Sunshine, but she just goes by Sunshine. And her little brother's name is Jazz Brock.
Oh, and I just remembered: my friend's niece is named Emma Nem. And she ain't named after the candy.

Oh. And I also recall a newspaper story about a family with five kids in my town, named Princess, Million (supposedly pronounced MY-lynn), Snowflake, Krystall, and Lizzy.

Why anyone would voluntarily go by Lizzy is beyond me...

To the person who challenged that Lemonjello and Orangejello were urban legends:

I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

My Algebra II teacher from last year, Mr. Debouzy (he has an extremely thick French accent, being from France) named his seventh child Moogli. It's pronounced "moo-lee".

That website reminded me- There is a girl at a neighboring high school named Vagina (pronounced va HEE na). I kid you not.

There was a girl in one of my classes a few years ago named Tuesday. Her sister is named Monday.

Down through the years I've taught several girls named "Lexus". one "Mercedes" and another "Chrysler"--all admitted to being named after cars.

My favorite name will always be "Richard J Slappy". Oh, how I wished I could have!

I've a few Mercedeses. From what I know, it's a fairly common name within Hispanic families.

Then there were the identical twins I taught. They were really fine young men. However their names were "Infant" and "Infinite" Sadderwhite. They claimed the names were cherished family traditions.

certainly not bizarre in Germany or Austria, but I have always found Manfried (pronounced Mahn-freed)to be an odd name

I met someone once with the name Char Cole.

The truly sad thing is that she didn't get it.
