This actually happens, a lot.
One of my great sources of amusement at the clinic is the high incidence of incredibly stupid names.
We have...
Jerry Curl
Orangelo and Lemongelo
Shithead (pronounced: SHUH-theeed)
Odonta
Placenta
at least 50 ways to spell Lakweisha, (etc...etc... ad infinitum et absurdum)
(discovered recently to gales of laughter) some poor kid saddled with "Anthrax"
Some poor slob tagged with "Yudumbas"

Some kids are walking around with names that are totally adequate excused for paricide

Neighbors of ours in Cleveland had a baby boy and didn't know what to name him so they just called him Duke. When he was ready to be enrolled in Kindergarten he still had no name on his birth certificate. At age 5 they had to come up with a proper name for him.....John it was but he's still Duke.
