Sort of like what celebs do with bizarre names

I couldn't get the link to work. Anyhow,how about that Austraillian couple who tried to name their child 4Real but the government told them no because a name cannot begin with a number. They could probably get away with it in the US, however, I can see how that can cause problems.

Here's the article for you then:

LONDON (AFP) - Baby Autumn Brown has a name to live up - in fact she has over 25 of them.

The little girl's mother Maria, in keeping with her boxing-mad family's bizarre tradition, decided to give her 25 middle names - all culled from the greatest exponents inside the ring.

Her full name, which left register office staff in Perton, Wolverhampton reeling is: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.

Maria told the city's Express and Star: "The whole thing came about because both my mum and dad are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour.

"When I was young I couldn't ever remember my name. It took me to the age of 10 to memorise it all."

The 33-year-old mother added: "I'm hoping Autumn has a good sense of humour with her name. It's never done me any harm though."

My cousin named his kid to where the initials are R.P.M.

My father was a police man in Cincinnati and spent some time on "the beat" He told me a story of picking up a child and mother to take to the hospital in a less than "priveleged" part of town. In filling out the report the mother gave the name of the baby and he had no clue how to spell it. When the mother spelled it.... F E M A L E Thompson.... He giggled and asked how she came about giving her daughter that name. The woman replied that she hadn't given the baby a name by birth and that when they gave the baby back to her there was a card on the head of the crib that said Thompson Female so she just kept it (Pronounce it.... FEE MOLLY) I still laugh every time I recall that story.

I always wanted to name my son "Damn kid"

Jokes aside, if I have boys, I want them to be named Ken and Peter

Kenworth and Peterbilt, I'm a diehard trucker ;) (If I have 3 then the last will be named Mack)
