This thread is for posting the first names you find strange, weird, etc.

I have heard this first name many times and I'm not sure if it's short for something or what.

Anyway, I will begin with the first name :

Biff
 

There's a I guy out in California whose name is Weldon. Not that strange a name until you find out his last name is Rumproast.
Don't believe me? Look him up.

There was a nurse at the hospital I worked at. Her first name was "Neverknewher". She was named that because her father died just before she was born and he....wait for it, wait for it....Never Knew Her.

Yes I knew that Madonna is named Madonna but didn't know that about Beyonce. I'm not very familiar with her or her music.
 
In my last job, I dealt with an Indian lady doctor whose first name was Dimple. Can't remember her last name.

One of my first bosses' first name was Dewey. Once again, not unusual, but his last name was Beavers. Of course, I was only 17 and too innocent to get the connotation at the time. Really nice guy, though.

My granddaughter had twins in one of the classes she was teaching.....Lexus and Infiniti.

When I worked at Blue Cross, we had two old ladies whose names were Utha and Otha. Yes, they WERE thisters and lived together.
 
I have a just-the-opposite case: I named my younger daughter Madeleine, and it's completely thrown anyone under age 50. People just couldn't handle the French spelling and stumbled over the pronounciation. It's not that unusual! But her teachers in high school were puzzled. :rolleyes:

She worked for a few years in a skilled nursing facility and got a lot of compliments on her name from the residents, who of course were older and had indeed heard of it.

I can't think of any weird names off the top of my head.
 
My chiropractor from years ago had a receptionist named Dreama. I wouldn't say I found her name weird or strange, just unusual. I liked it and have never met anyone else named Dreama.
