oh yes and i know of a coolio, he was named by his dad after some rapper. My BIl is a star wars fan and named his daughter Leia and son Luke which is not unsual but we were all worried he would come up with something like Aarraba or Lowbacca!

I worked in a pre-school for 3 years and the most "unusual" names were :

Boy : Adonis
Girl : Baybey

There were some close runners up and some fairly run of the mill ones for balance
