At least Zepher is close to a real word. |

Actually, Shithead is a real name, believe it or not. It's Indian, I think, and obviously not pronounced the same way as "shit-head", but it is not an urban legend. |

What's with the urban legend police?? Hasn't it occurred to you that what started as a silly joke could become reality? "If I had a kid, I'd name him Shithead!" "Hahahaha! Oh man, that's hilarious! Hmmm... I wonder, if I pronounced it sh'thay'd..."
I use that example because a few years ago, a family member was working in a large urban hospital. We had had a conversation about these sorts of "urban legend" names, wherein I confidently stated that no one EVER named their kid that. So the next day, when his patient was discharged, he brought me the admission bracelet. First name, last name, date of birth, and a hospital code. So it might have started as a legend, but it's the read deal now. |

There was a person in the paper whose name was:
Phoebe P. Peabody Bebe. That has to be the worst name ever. |

| There is a DC real estate agent whose name is Dick Oder. Well, it's technically Richard, but it's much more fun to call him Dick. |

Orangejello, Lemonjello, La-a...yes, all urban legends. But as unbelievable as you may find it, English words don't necessarily have the same meaning in other languages! I have personally known a guy named Shithead. Not "my friend's cousin knows a guy..." or "my aunt is a nurse and told me...", I knew him, he was foreign, his name was Shithead. The end. |

| I won't put the name here, since it identify a child who is still a child, but I taught a little girl with a brand name of liquor for her first name. |

Normally wouldn't do this, but when I was teaching in another state, I had a student named Princealex. He had a brother and sister, Princedevon and Princess-something. I have seen Prince as a "real" name before (Prince Fielder), but I don't get why the parents felt the need to combine the word with a legit name. Alex was a good kid, though!
I have also had more than one girl named Genesis, which is not unusual, but one pronounced the "g" in Spanish--h sound-- and the final "i" as "ee," and when pronounced quickly, the "s" was left off. Effectively making her name Hennessy. |
