On the radio they were talking about people who have weird names.
It started coz some couple in Scandinavia (i think) wanted to call their kid Metallica but the board of registrars wouldnt allow it.
True names;
2 Dutch kids called Zion and Zippy
Iona Frisbee
Cliona Magee and her Father Pat (i worked with the girl)
Shakira O'Toole (just stooopid)
ANy other crazy names?
Hong Kong is the place where you get some truly weird English names. The thing is, most Cantonese people's names are perfectly pronounceable by English speakers.
Some classic examples:
- Marmalade Tin
- Fido Dido Wong :shock:
- Pansy Ho
i remember mx pro ronny renner calling his two boys rider and racer.
I know someone in Fort Lauderdale named Jack Mehoff
Orangejello and Lemonjello.
