I knew a Clink. His parents were Clint Eastwood fans but had misheard the name, apparently.

I had a tradesman come to the house (something for the phone I think), called Anal. Yes, really. He was Asian and it was pronounced Ann-al, but still that is a very unfortunate name to have in any English-speaking country! I'm guessing that wherever his family came from it was completely innocuous. As for 'Orgasm'

Sarah Palin's family have odd names for the kids and grandkids. They have a Trig, a Track and a Tripp!

There was a child whose birthday card was on CBeebies this morning, named Tiara.

I think 'Orgasm' beats them all though!

Lizzie isn't the Guy one an urban legend? Either that or there's a lot of daft people around, I've heard that a few times...

Kindle, tho. Goodness me, poor kids!

I like Lucky! And Awesome is as awesome does.

Gold, that had never occurred to me.

Rather these than eve ben grace tedium

I thought 'Gooey' was the french pronounciation for Guy. 'Chaos' would have been very appropriate for DS!

In french Guy is pronounced Gee (G like gum and e like pee)

I also heard of american kids that get insult names by abusive parents. At least in anglophone countries it seems v easy to change your name.
