Oh wow! How could I have forgotten? My step-bro's wife is named Ercon. (Uhr-conn) Her parents are Ernie (Ernesto) and Connie (Consuelo), and they loved each other so much that they combined their names to name their daughter. What a great idea!

I worked with a guy named Frank E. Frank. He never told us what the "E" stood for.

Two of my high school classmates: Piddney Kobs and Nimrod Funk. Why would you do that to a kid.

ugh...I know a Kourtney, and then there are the Kardashians (from "Keeping Up with the Kardashians"): Kris, Kourtney, and Khloe (Mom kept the K's coming with Kim, Kendall and Kylie).

Don't give unusual names if you are a stickler for the pronunciation, either. My boss named his son Raoul, which is a family name (French, pronounced like "Rowl"). They freak out because people see it and assume it is pronounced "Ra-ool". Instead of just letting it go in casual conversation, they have to give the entire family history, blah blah blah.
