We have a Major whose last name is Pigg!!
When I worked in HR, we inprocessed an officer named (I kid you not!) James T Kirk. I thought he should be promoted to Captain based on his name alone

I work for a SF Bay Area community college district. There are a lot of unusual names in the student database due to the diversity of the area. Several come to mind - Tim Tam, Ha Ha, and Heidi Ho.

Is Kloe pronounced like Chloe, I wonder? Or does it rhyme with Joe?
I'm glad that I'm an old gal now, although I think my generation was the one who decided Madison & Tyler were good names for kids. Hmmm. On the topic of Presidential last names, I wonder if in several years people will use our current pres' surname for a first name? LOL.
What about foreign leaders? Gorby Chov Smith? Noriega Shirock Jones? Putin Karsai Johnson?
