The Most Bizzarre "Name" Ever

[amarisse]

cyrillic can be transillerated into english though i'm guessing the symbol this person had wasnt anywhere close to being english.

Working in a pharmacy, I run across wierd names all the time. Some that stick out for me:
4. Had a set of twins whose first names were Orangejello and Yellowjello

This comes up in every single discussion about unusual names, and I'm almost certain it's an urban legend. I can't find a reference to it on Snopes, but it's amazing how many people claim to have seen the Jello Twins.

No disrespect, just that it comes up all the time.

I can offer visual comfirmation, I saw their names on their insurance cards with my own eyes (between tears of laughter).

It is briefly discussed in this article on snopes

http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/names.htm

Lemongello was a last name, but no reports of a first name usage, and no twin.

I had a customer, I can't remember her exact name but it was "The" Something. The name was a fairly normal name, I think. I believe it was on her license too. We weren't sure how to list it on her order-"The" in the first name field or both names in the last name??

edit: she was a hippie, new-agey type, too. her name reflected that but it wasn't a name that a normal person wouldn't have too.

Other than Orange and Yellow which I know aren't UL's I don't think any of the other jello flavor names are UL's either. Believe it or not some people think stupid ass names like that are hip.

I've always wanted to refer to myself as "The" and then my name like "The Jimmy" on Seinfeld. I would also talk in the third person like the character does.

So, say you had a customer come in whose name was entirely Cyrillic(Russian alphabet, I think)? Born and raised in Russia, moved to the US.

Please edit quotes

This is totally different. What you speak of is still an alphabet and could be (albeit roughly) translated in some form or fashion. I think what the poster was complaining about was the fact that this individual had actually changed their name to a symbol, like "+" or something of that nature. A plus sign is not a name, it is a symbol and therefore is literally unpronouncable as an introduction. That's different from just being difficult to pronounce and getting butchered in the process...

I had a customer once named "Early Morning"

When i did bank drops the woman's name was "December snow" until she got married then she was "december White" (White, December)

<agrees with RecoveringKinkoid>

When I got divorced, I left my name as my married name. It causes less confusion to have the same last name as my son. However, if my current bf and I should ever decide to get married (heaven forbid!), I have no idea as to what I'll do

Ironically enough, aformentioned bf is also a recovering Kinkoid! He loves (and cringes at) your stories lol!

Okay, I'm not trying to pick on you, I seriously saw this word and thought "Silmarillion" (by Tolkien)... can we say it's Elvish?

I went to school with a girl called Emma Thompson, and there was this guy who was a friend of a friend's brother; his name was Wayne Carr.

Also, I had a serious Harry Potter moment at work when I took a cheque... and the guy's name was Tom Riddle. XD

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

About 10 years ago, we had a guy running for local office in my city whose name was Paul Nus.

Thankfully, he used his full first name and not his first initial.

There's a building company that sponsers some suites at my arena and the company happens to have a mafia sounding name. Bito Antony is bound to get some jokes for my amusement and a mafia voice done by me.

There is also a club in there called Club 53 which to me sounds like a dance club. The layout is amusingly like one also.

Goth to the max

I had a customer who's name was Damien Bloodsin. Yep. Dracula was laughing, I think.
