My daughter has a name that is not necessarily common, but is well known, in my country. However, if you're from another country (for example, in the country where I currently live), it is difficult for people to pronounce if they read it, or spell it if they hear it. She is going to have trouble with it, but all of the people I know with names like that, they sometimes go through a period as a teenager when they don't like it, but they've *always* ended up liking that they have a name that is a bit different. I haven't tried to name her with some ridiculous name, but with a name that reminds her of her cultural heritage. She's going to grow up in my wife's country, and it's important to both my wife and I that she has as strong ties to my country as she can (until she grows up and decides on how strong she wants her ties to be).

I have a common name with an odd spelling and was named when no one really spelled things 'creatively'. This led me to think that my teachers were all stupid because they couldn't spell my name correctly. I was around ten when I realized that my name was different than the normal spelling when I had thought before that my spelling was the right/correct/only way to spell my name. I never got a single personalized item as a child, my brother Jeff on the other hand... This was when 'personalized items' were whatever was in the bike plates, keyrings, and mugs in very pre-internet times.

I had a coworker named Paris French. I always wondered if she had a middle name, but I figured she probably got enough c**p about it in her life and I didn't want to pile on. That was probably 20 years ago now and I still wonder.

In Sweden we have laws what we can and can't name our children. It can't be a brand name or a name that can induce obvious bullying or disgrace (like Hitler or poo). It goes before a commitee and gets reviewd before accepted. And you have to do it before the child turns 9 months old otherwise you get a fine for every month beyond that. It happend to my sister. She and her husband could never agree on a name in time on any of their 4 children. Just continued to call the child baby lol.

In some Spanish-speaking countries in the Caribbean the name "Usnavi" is used, albeit not very commonly. The meaning of such a name? It's what the parent's would read on the huge boats coming to their shores "U.S Navy"

I have a couple: a coworker whose last name is May married a young lady named April, so her full name was April May. And before my time there was a family near where I live with a bunch of girls, and no boys. They said toward the end they ran out of names so they started numbering them; the last two were named Ada and Nina.
