Mr. BetaRose went to high school with a Candy Cherry. Candy, not Candace, was her actual name.
Working at housing, we mailed out applications for all incoming freshman, and we got to see some of the most awful names. One of the worst we saw was a girl named Porpiglia. Then there was Randy Hand. Why would you subject a child to a life of masturbation jokes?
As for normal names that I would never give a child:
Benjamin
Linda
Steve
Tina
Jamie
Candace
Bob

A girl in my cousin's high school was Candy _____. The school suggested that she change it. Her parents don't really speak English, so they picked whatever English name that came to mind first. Her "ethnic" name was hard to pronounce. Also, a friend of mine's husband's name is Harry Chin.
