I had a waitress once named "Alexandria." All I could think when I saw her name was, apparently her parents figured that just-plain-Alexandra wouldn't be hard enough for a child to learn to say...
Alexandria isn't an unusual name. I know several people with that name. It can also be spelled Alexandrea.
A receptionist named Jermica (jer-meeka)
Britteena (a former assistant)
Richeard pronounced like Richard (maybe his parents just couldn't spell)
a little girl named Nobu (red-headed American girl)
What are some of the more unusual people's names you have encountered? (no "urban legends" please, only people you have actually known.) Did they hate having an odd name?
I knew a woman named Bambi, and she liked her name. I was once introduced to someone named Muffin (real name, not nickname) and I was so caught off-guard that a big laugh came out. I felt awful, but hey, YOU try saying "Nice to meet you, Muffin" with a straight face!
In the 70's, my mm had a best friend. Her name was Oleo Margarine. I kid you not.
Now one of my cousins, one of her grandsons is named Sir.
