That could be entirely possible... my BFF's grandfather was an OB/GYN in the Charlotte area and often suggested crazy names to new moms who hadn't picked out names yet. Those were a couple of them, along with Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.
There was a Today show story about this. The guy in the story suggested that people who want to name their kids something "unique" should go out and introduce themselves as the potential name and see what kind of looks they get. I think that guy wrote a book, which may have already been discussed in the thread, so my bad if I'm being redundant.
I went to school with a girl named Kizzie Butts. She was a real sweetheart, but I always felt so bad for that name and how some people were mean to her because of it.
