Real creative of my grandparents
My dad's name is Cornelis (also Dutch), but he was called Keith for his entire childhood. He got a bus pass at the age of twelve, and wondered who this "Cornelis" was. Apparently they hadn't told him before.

My sister named her daughter "Lake" but at least it is not something worse but she will have a hard time getting a fridge magnet with that name.

A Swedish couple has been fined for failing to register a legally approved name for their seven-year-old child, who is presently called "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116" (pronounced "/ˈalˌbin/"). They've offered to change the kid's name to "A," but the Swedish government says that won't do, either.
Because the parents (Elizabeth Hallin and an unidentified father) failed to register a name by the boy's fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined the parents 5,000 kronor (US$682 at the time). Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996, claiming that it was "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation." The parents suggested the name be understood in the spirit of 'pataphysics. The court rejected the name and upheld the fine.

I had to look twice when my cashier at Safeway sported a nametag with Suk Wang on it. True story.

And I'm pretty sure there's a member of Calgary's finest named Mayne Root.

For those of us who ever watched Stargate... There is a guy named Daniel Jackson in my Math tutorial...

Or for those of us who like Cars... OBDII could be a name for a kid... (Sounds cooler than names like Diesel and Zamboni)

In elementary school, there was a first nations kid in my class named; "Big Bear".

And in highschool, I worked in a hardware store. One of the local contractors who had an account there was named; "Red Thunderboy".

Actually, come to think of it, those are probably 2 of the best names I have ever heard.
