Best name story I ever heard was a ballplayer for the KC Royals in the 80's. His name was UL Washington. When asked what the UL stood for, the answer was nothing! That was his freaking name. UL. Unbelievable. Like to know the logic behind that. Mebbe was born under a lamp cord. Who the hell knows.

My husband's grandfather was named UL. It didn't stand for anything either. When the newspaper reported his death, they called him Ewell. I suppose they couldn't understand how he could be without a name and gave him one.
