I remember once asking a new father what his daughter's name was. He gave me a name I'd never heard (fortunately, not a body part or something equally heinous). Just an odd name that they had obviously invented. After he told me the baby's name, he glared at me accusingly, as if to say, "Wanna make something of it?"
I had no desire to be subjected to a lecture about why he and his wife had made up a name for their daughter, so I just said, "Oh."
I feel sorry for the daughter, with at least one parent who views her name as an excuse to pick fights.
brother's best friend in grade school was "sir dorian". and oddly enough there's another "yourhighness" only he plays college football. at least his name's spelled properly.

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.

This person was not born in Russia. And the point here is not that her name is not pronouncable in this language, but that her name has no pronunciation. It only exists on paper.

When i did bank drops the woman's name was "December snow" until she got married then she was "december White" (White, December)
Which would make the wedding announcement hilarious: "Snow White."
On the weird name thing, my friend had a doozie for me. And yes, since it is so far removed, it does sound like an urban legend, but I don't think my friend was making it up...she is the most serious friend I have, and currently works for the Department of Homeland Defense, so I believe her!
The names? Twins, boy and girl, pronounced "Molly" for the boy and "Fuhmolly" for the girl. Spelled, of course, "Male" and "Female."
And yes, boys and girls, I still exist. And I will be here more in the future. I've just been rather busy lately. Working, planning my vacation (which I am currently in the middle of) and finding romance (which I didn't quite expect). Yes, Jester has a girlfriend now. Amusingly, it IS someone from customerssuck.com.

Do tell! I was wondering where you've been...
And I guess that answers my question on another thread of whether there's ever been a CS.com love match
A friend of mine has a friend whose name, from what I understand, was chosen by pulling random letters from a hat and seeing what they could spell. They came up with something unique but livable

I never thought much of it, and one day, we were joking around and she said something pretty raunchy. I put on my disapproving mother tone and said, "Candice (last name) what a thing to say."
Anyone I knew who had a nickname of Candy was named Candice.
My daughter said, "Mom, her full name isn't Candice, it's Candida."
An ex of mine had a job in college where she recalled encountering student records of someone either named Hung We Wong or Wong We Hung. She wasn't sure of the order.

Yeah, don't ever piss off a guy named Steven Faggot. That guy can more than likely fight like a freaking wombat.
Name of "LaTrina" is fairly common around here. At least one used to come into Kinko's and I was always tempted to ask her if she had a sister named Toiletta, but I'm just not that mean.
Hands down worst name I ever saw was an army private named Cum. Private Cum. Can you imagine having to go through boot camp with that name emblazoned across your uniform?
