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.

A former coworker of mine picked an interesting Anglicized name to go with his traditional Vietnamese name.

Vincent Van Vo.

wow---the letter "Y" is so overused now days

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?

Velobambina, your post reminded me of some couples I know who have named their girls Kennedy and Reagan. I feel very, very sorry for the first girl named Bush!

So wrong in soooooo many ways. [shakes head]

Interesting question. There's another one this week who seems to answer the pronunciation question ahead of time:

Chloey Audrina Gr** (Must be a viewer of the TV show The Hills)
