I like the one in the book "Freakanomics" best. The author studied the weird names people gave to their children, and the economic effect it had upon them. A set of twins were named "Lemon Jello" and "Orange Jello". When he interviewed the mother, she set him straight, "the names are le mon jello, and or ange jellon", in kind of a frenchy twist.

Freakonomics stole that little riff from Dan Jenkins' ''Life Its Ownself''.
