Hey, I didn't say you shouldn't do it, just that it's strange.
Strange as in not common, and that most of the population probably wouldn't use.

I have a friend who is named Kelly and his middle and last initials are also K. Talk about a weird family choice!

In French, an "umlaut" is called an accent tréma, and it indicates a separation of vowels that would normally be combined to make a single sound. "Naïve" is the most common example of this (to anglophones).
If you are complaining about the use of an "umlaut" in French names like Zoë, then your anger is a little misplaced.

I dated a girl whose first and middle names were "Bluejay From Moon in Changing Sky Siddhartha". But her friends called her Toni.

I was going for something that was uncommon (I didnt want another John or Matt, no offence to the Johns and Matts out there) but not entirely stupid.

In the 20's and 30's, Russia was a gray place indeed. Surivival itself was difficult, so I guess lighthearted imagination was in short supply. People used to name their kids stuff like Machine Tractor Station Number Seven.
What if you were a girl and your parents named you "Machine Tractor Station Number Seven?
It's so obviously a boy's name! :roll:

I grew up with a guy named Harry Ball. In my town, there is a young lady running for judge - her first name is Honey. No way in hell I'm voting for someone to be called Judge Honey. Sounds like a stupid TV show.

1) It's "Judge <LastName>" not "Judge <FirstName>"
2) Judges in your town are voted in directly by constituants instead of appointed by elected officials?
3) You're willing to vote for someone based on their name instead of where they stand on issues and other, you know, important reasons?

If we had more good citizens like him, we wouldn't have ended up with a damned Muslim as President!

That's my nephew's name, and I had the same basic reaction when I heard. I just hope my brother didn't see my face go
when he said his new baby was named "Dillon."

I like Dillon for a middle name, but only if the first name is Marshall!
I knew a girl in college named "Kateka" but it was pronounced "cake-kuh". She was white and super hot.
