In high school I met a kid from a neighboring high school with the name Mike Hawk... No kidding.
Nice kid, but unfortunately he took a lot of crap. What the heck were the parents thinking when they plastered that name on him?
A gal I went to school with had the nickname BJ (you can guess why). Everybody called her Beej though. Kinda weird to see this gal 20 years later and I almost called her by her nickname.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

There is a family of native Canadians on a reserve north of here whose surname is "Nothing." One of the boys has a given name of "Johnson" and the other has a given name of "Minus."
Imagine being stopped by the police and asked for your name.
LEO: What's your name?
GUY: Minus.
LEO: Don't play smart with me, son. What's your other name?
GUY: Nothing.

A high school friend named Bobby. When it came time to have our diplomas printed, he was forced to bring a birth certificate to school, as admin insisted his proper name was Robert. In good southern form, his real name was Bobby Ray - I remember we had the same thing happen in grade school. Teacher kept calling this kid "William", but his name was actually "Billy". Parents sent in confirmation of some sort. Aqualung

I remember reading an anecdote in the Reader's Digest many years ago about a man who had only initials (R. B.) instead of a name. He got a job for some governmental agency and was filling out the required forms and put his name as R. B. Jones. The form was returned with instructions not to use initials but to use his entire name. He filled it out thusly, R.(only) B. (only) and resubmitted it. When he got his first paycheck it was made out to Ronly Bonly Jones.

One of my grandfathers was named Trellis and I always liked his name. He had a sister named Lodusky and a brother named Rodell. I'd say old Trell' faired the best out of that bunch.
