Reminds me of a Peanuts strip in which a child was named ‘5’. The dad changed the family name to their ZIP code to make things easier at tax time.

The child had siblings named 3 and 4.

I remember that. Snoopy: “Did he say ‘V’ or ‘5’.”

In Italy it's common to find people named "Primo" and "Secundo" -- First and Second, after their birth order. The custom goes back to the Romans. The name "Quentin" is a variant of "Quintus" -- Fifth. Very rarely you can meet a Tertius, Sixtus, or Septimus.

There are also people who are heavily in to math who've worked a number in to their name: Bo3b Johnson, Stanley Marsh 3, Nancy 3. Hoffman, and of course, 50 Cent and 2Pac.

Then there's engineer Jon Blake Cusack who named his son Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, and singer Eryka Badu whose child (boy or girl, I don't know) is named Seven (which might be convienient in second or third grade, but could be a burden later on).
