A friend used to work as a SW in the same ED where I work now. She had to interview Preciousnoblecreation one day. The sibling was Thywillbedone (I can't remember if that was a boy or girl).
I anxiously await the day they return on my shift..

Working in Medical Records, one of my favourite encountered names was Contessa Divine Gaspang. She was a frequent flyer, and gave a lot of giggles to otherwise dull days of data entry. She evidently got tired of it, though, because I finally got a name change request.
To Imperatrix.
Gaspang.

I was walking past a leaders in diversity display at my corporate office and one of the featured business people was. . .
Wilma M. Mankiller
Too bad she's not a doctor.😉

Actually knew this couple, they seemed so nice otherwise..but their beautiful baby girl, (after 4 boys) they named Hope Ann. Their last name was Joy.
Not to be too pedantic, but Wilma Mankiller is rather famous as the first woman chief of the Cherokee (or any major native tribal) nation.
Sorry, didn't mean to insult. I didn't know her story, just saw the name on the wall after I read through this thread a few days ago.
That's interesting and would probably explain the name. 🙂
At DePaul hospital in St. Louis there is a neurologist named Dr. Head. Didn't really think too much of that until his name was announced over head as "Dr. Richard Head"
and for back up, here is the link to his staff page on their site:http://www.ssmhc.com/internet/home/physiciansearch.nsf/All/E6ED6E308B197FDE862573E9003A0548?OpenDocument

Dr. Wiener has already been mentioned, but just for posterity's sake: http://urology.surgery.duke.edu/modules/div_urol_fac/index.php?id=6
And one that hasn't been mentioned, Dr. Wiswell; pronounced as if with a Z:

i'm finishing off a paper for public health, and I came across this article:

One day as a young RT at Bethesda Naval Hospital I got into an elevator with a MD that was a urologist with the last name of Penix. I had to contain myself until he got off the elevator. Thankfully he got off the elevator before I exploded into laughter almost pissing myself.
AGain as an RT, this time at a NICU in Silver Spring, MD I worked with a baby that had totally crazy father and a MOm that wouldn't stand up for herself. He would only names his kids with names or words that he made up....the words didn't exist and were combinations of letters and numbers. Seemed like space-cult type names. Everyone in the NICU wanted to beat his *** senseless because he was a jerk.
As a medical student, I have twice had a patient named Candida? I wonder/where the parents came up with that one......off the side of a tube of Monistat?

Wow, there are two of them! The music director for the Montgomery County Public Schools is named Richard Penix. He goes by Rick. I guess "Dick Penix" was just too much. People pronounce it "Peenix" all the time, too, so you know it's on the back of everyone's mind. Poor guy. I wonder if they're related? Same area of the same county, maybe it's not such a stretch.
A 1989 Honda for sure. Or even older.
I believe Germaine from the Jackson 5 named his son Germajesty (sp?)
Other funny names I've seen, while working at the hospital:
Olive Pitts
Dr. Krachman
Cornbluh-Goldfarb (why would you hyphenate that 😕 )
When I get done school, I'll be Dr. Lee

I don't know about Wilma M. Mankiller, but Wilma P. Mankiller is very well known here in Oklahoma. She is the former Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.
LOL...... Ok, now THAT made me laugh..... Dick McNutt, haha. Oh I needed that.
Of course, I giggled when the professor "duty" one too many times during ethics lectures, couldn't imagine having someone introduce themselves as Mr. Dick McNutt.

I came out of lurkdom for this. I worked in a high school last year, and had some rather... interestingly named students. I had a set of identical twins, Antony and Antonio. Couldn't tell one from the other, I don't think they knew who was who either.
Also, a few years before, there was another set of twins, Jose-A and Jose-B (pronounced hose-a and hose-b). Supposedly, the mother didn't know she was having twins, so the first one came out and he was Jose, then the second one came and he was Jose-B, the first one got a change in spelling to Jose-A. At first, I didn't believe it, but they still had records on them at the school.
We also had several Unique's. Seems like if everyone is named Unique, it's not so unique. Also had a student named Budda King. Also had a few devils named Angel (all boys, and this is how they described themselves). Another student was named Outlaw. Why you would name your kid Outlaw is beyond me, but considering he spent more time in juvie than in school, I'd say he's living up to his name.

Marijojuana. Woulnd't believe it if I didn't see it. Really, parents can be so cruel. That borders on abuse.
The one that definitely bordered on abuse was girl I went to high school with. Her name was Mary Jane. Which wouldn't have been so bad, but she was born with no arms, so it was quite cruel of them.
I knew a girl named Candy Hart.
In high school a guy I knew was named Jim Butt. His mom was Rosey and his dad was Harry.
In middle school there was a poor girl with the name Penny Abigail Blow, and often wrote her name Penny A. Blow.
There is a guy at the school I teach at named Richard Shaver.

Elementary school classmate of mine named Sandy Hunt, older brother Mike...say it fast...in Jr. High he started going by Michael.
College roommate of a friend of mine named Mary Jane. We went to a party at her folks place out in the woods in Oregon and after looking through the photo album that included pictures of their best crops and her parents "on the bus" w/ Ken Kesey, I met her brother, Sage Bhodisatva, their dogs, Doob and Weed and the cat, Herb. Greatest party I've ever been to.

A friend from elementary school was named Guy Mann.
And then there were the sisters I used to babysit: Sunshine Daye, Azure Blue, and Breezy Windchime. Ah, hippie parents...
