Odd applicable names

[zdashamber]

So, awhile back while out at a club, I was talking with some of my friends about odd names...

Mariya: "Oh, wait, Madeline can give an independent opinion-- Madeline! What do you think about the name 'Astrid'?"
Me: "...Um..."
Jeff: "Let me give you a hint-- it starts with the word 'ass'."

Apparently our friend Damian's girlfriend is bound and determined that their first daughter will be named Astrid.

The strangest thing I'm leaning towards actually using on a kid is "Joris". Nice simple Dutch/Frisian guy's name... It's much harder to come up with good guy's names, and Joris is uncommon and heritage-full.

What's the strangest name you guys are actually leaning towards using on a kid, should you aquire a new one?

Yep. You got me beat. By a mile. I was planning to leave the really weird stuff for middle names. Like "Aldebaran."

Just be sure you consider how the names shorten... ;)

Yeah, Randy can be a bit tough, but I figure any name can be mocked. I was called Germy by more people than I care to think about.
