Odd as it may seem:
My (female) cousin once married a man with the last name of "Bickle".
They had planned to name their first son "Dell"...
(I'm glad he turned out to be gay!)
In the seventies and eighties some of the popular names were so "Valley" and special it was stomach turning - "Krystal" and so on.
But the all time "WHY DID THEY DO THAT?" vote from me centers around three conspicuous first names that will forever change the future of whomever must carry them the rest of their lives -
Why would a parent name someone:
"Stymey"
"Jeeves"
or
"NESTOR"...
(Unless of course they were butlers by heritage)(2nd two cases)

I think celebrities take the prize for weird names:
Jon Davis (Korn front man) named his new kid Pirate Hausmann Davis (WTF?)
Demi Moore's kids - Rumor & Scout
One of these actresses recently named her kid Apple
Do I need to bring up Dweezil & Moon Unit (Zappa)?
However the funniest name I've actually seen - I didn't know this guy but his name was on a list of users for the company:
Richard Ramdass
Poor guy!

I don't know where Rumor came from, but Scout was the little girl in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. This is my favorite book ever, and I immediately recognized the name.
