[unpolitical] weirdest named persons you've ever met

[AntEater]

Just thought about this for some reason and I could come up with some people who really should think about a name change:
In my school, we had a gym coach named Adolf Führer
(jokes were too easy with this one)
One of my fellow law students, a relatively good looking girl from Iran was called Venus Salami....
(strange because muslims can't eat Salami anyway)
Another (german) girl in a seminar was named Chantal Privat, which is the most pr0n sounding name I ever heard.

[Dan D]

He he, that is funny. I have correspondence right now with a guy whose name is
Eugen Schniepel (Schniepel=that is what you call a penis of a small boy in German, you get the picture) and he lives in Titisee-Neustadt, that would be Titilake-Newtown.
I just hope he does not read this. I mean, how many Eugen Schniepels are there in Titisee-Neusstadt?
Plus, he is the local bailiff/marshal in Titisee-Neustadt and his name is Schniepel.
Pardon me, I just don't get over it.

[d@rk51d3]

Local(ish) businessman and his wife had a daughter. They loved the name "Tess" so much, that they gave the name to their new little girl.

Nothing wrong with that...........

The company I worked for had a district manager nammed Bill Dumass (pronounced "Do Maas")

[magic452]

There was a quarter horse running at Los Alamitos race track named
Oliver Klozov. He was running against a filly named Sister Ann Marie.
Oliver Klozov was leading till the last 15 yards but Sister Ann Marie passed

The announcer called it this way " Sister Ann Marie got Oliver Klozov at the wire."
True Story:rotfl:

That's a finnish name. Meaning moor or heath plus shore or beach.

[caspofungin]

[SteamWake]

Ah that reminds me... A dentist Named "Dr. Paine".... no lie.

[kurtz]

I worked with a Bryan Bryan and was good friends with a Peter Enis. He used to sit in the pub saying,"I hate my Dad, he just never thought".

[Konovalov]

The most ridiculous surname that I have seen was when I moved to Britain on my working holiday visa and worked at a market research agency. On my screen appeared a Mr Cockpiss and I'm not bloody joking. :oops: Thankfully there was no answer and I didn't have to ask the guy how his experience was at a Volkswagen garage when he had his VW Golf in for a service.

[Koondawg]

Once had a guy call my cab company (while I was dispatching) and identify himself (being at Queen of the Angels Church and needing a cab) as Micheal Hunt...I reconfirmed "Mike ****". Of course he confrimed the name....he didn't get a cab (till 2 hours later)...till one girl came in and said he was a real person....

[sergbuto]

[d@rk51d3]

Hymens Liquor Store 2nd ave. Downtown L.A. :-?

:rotfl:

Reminds me of a bottle shop I saw once.

"Beaver Liquors"

[Biggles]

My former mathteacher had the lastname Kankaanranta...
That's a finnish name. Meaning moor or heath plus shore or beach.

I didn't know that.:hmm:

What I did know is that she's a Tornedalian, so she comes from northern Sweden, but with finnish background.:yep:

[TarJak]

Axel Rodd

[KeptinCranky]

A veterinarian named Slager which is dutch for Butcher, :D

Also a kid whose parents wanted to name him after an impressive american thing, only they didn't quite get which bit of the aircraft carrier the name actually was so they named him usnavy gonzalez :cool:

[Task Force]

Gaylord Focker, was a guy in a movie with a strange name.:lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hEuHL1j7gk&feature=related

[Stealth Hunter]

Patty Outhouse. She worked in the local bank a few years back. She said her name was pronounced "O-Touse", but...:roll:

[Hitman]

I know a few ones, but they are of course in spanish. They are classics here, and some of them prompted a legal reform to prevent parents from giving children names that would by themselves or in combination with the family name be offensive (Note that we have two family names here, first from the father, second from the mother. Our wives do not lose their name to the husband).

Examples:

Dolores Fuertes de Barriga ---> would translate as "Strong stomach pain"

Cándido Cordero Blanco -----> "Candid white lamb"

Tosca Gaos ----> Readed together fast would sound like "Everyone is **** up"

[CCIP]

Svetlana Nilsson.

What's so odd about that one? :hmm:
(Svetlana is my mom's first name)

The oddest I can recall is my mother's school friend whose last name was "Nepeivoda", which translates from Russian/Ukranian quite literally as as "Dontdrinkthewater" :o

I'm also a English PhD student as some of you may know, and one of my colleagues' last name is Shakespeare. Talk about a good choice of specialty on his part :rotfl:

[Biggles]

Well Svetlana is a somewhat unusual name for a teenaged swedish girl. She uses the name Hanna Nilsson which is, by swedish standards, problaby as "usual" as you can get. I thought that was her real name but then she told me that it was Svetlana and I was like:o It appears that she actually comes from St. Petersburg. I had no idea at the time:hmm:

Then perhaps you'd think my name is strange? My name is Olof Rönn, aka. Olle Rönn. I remember telling that to an italian girl, and she laughed in my face:roll:

[CCIP]

Hah, St. Petersburg. That makes sense then :D

I always thought Svetlana was actually one of the names that had at least partial Swedish origins, oddly enough. It's a one of the Russian names that pre-dates the country's conversion to Christianity, which is why it doesn't have a Western equivalent.

[Biggles]

I can assure you, I've never met any full blooded swedish girl named Svetlana:hmm:

Just remember a fellow named "Mr. Smoketoomuch";)

[SandyCaesar]

I know someone whose last name is Akula.:rock:He's actually Indian, and seemed pretty surprised to learn the Russian meaning of his surname.

Unfortunately, despite the moniker, he's not really interested in subs. Or subsims.
