Oddly enough (some of you probably know this already), that's a real one! Bill Lear (founder of Lear Siegler and designer of the LearJet) and his wife named their daughter Crystal Shanda Lear ...

I went to High school with a kid named Reed Manuel.

First day of school,the teacher asked each student to stand,in turn and state thier name.In the second row,a kid stood up and said."I'm Crummy Jones."The teacher told Crummy to remain standing.She said,"I'm not sure about you."Another row over,a kid that looked like Crummy stood and said,"My name is Crappy Jones.I'm Crummy's brother."
The teacher told them both to leave and not come back to class until they were prepared to give thier real names.On the way out,they grabbed a third kid that looked just like them and said,"Come on,Poopy,she's not gonna believe you either."

Isn't there some law or rule to protect children from "humoristic" parents? I know around here the civil servant registrating the name has the right (obligation) to refuse a name if it's very likely to cause confusion or problems for the child.

My dad claims to have gone to high school (R. J. Reynolds high school, by the way) with a Tommy Gunn, and the sisters Candy and Sugar Cain.

He was raised in North Carolina, so I believe him.

The worst I ever saw was a family who had named their son Yoni.

If you don't get it, use google. Do NOT do it at work/school though...
