Sahara - I think her parents want her to grow up to be a stripper.

Yes, it's safe for work, no, it isn't in particularly empowering for women, either.

How about Rhiannon? Not only a goddess but also an old rock song and more letters than both of her siblings combined. I'll have to buy the poor kid three packs of fridge letters just so she can spell her name.

I'd say that on meeting a kid named Rhiannon, I'd be more likely to imagine her parents were really into cheesy 70s rock than anything else.

I've heard of two kids named Nevaeh and when asked, both sets of parents explained that the name is 'heaven' spelled backwards. Why in fark not just name the kid Heaven?! Which still isn't a great name, but oy. Spelled backwards. Bleh.

And speaking of 70s rock, in high school Mr. Hippie knew a girl named Zeppelin.

I dunno. I think "Heaven" has some epic potential as far as pick-up lines go.

OK folks...those are pretty good, but I think I may have a winner. 

I went to school with a kid whose parents, Mr. and Mrs Speak,  named him EPluribus Unum.  They were quite proud of the name.  They felt like it gave him class.  We just called him Plury. (pronounced Ploo-Ree) 

This is what happens when you grow up on the Arkansas/Mississippi border.

I win...where's my trophy!

Banana hammock.
Years ago I heard a radio broadcast on this very subject.  One caller said something along the lines of this:

"I have a friend with a two year old daughter.  She named her Abcde.  It's pronounced ab-sid-ee.  It's just awful."

Then the next caller called in:

"Abcde, that's a pretty weird name, but I've got one that's even worse.  I know a woman who named her daughter Vagina."

Now, it reminds me of the Dane Cook bit where he said Chlamydia would be such a pretty girl's name... if only it wasn't a disease.

I girl I went to high schoool with ended up briefly married to this religious cultist, and they had a son.

Azrael.

No joke.  She named her son Azrael.

Another friend of mine named her son Crispin Alexander.  Immediately, a mutual friend of ours offered to give him self-defense lessons when he gets older.  (Side story - unfortunately, he ended up autistic, but he's been making great strides Smile )

I like the name Azrael, and I would name a child of either gender with that name.  I have loved it since I first heard it (in the movie Dogma, and it helped that I had a huge crush on Jason Lee at the time).  I didn't realize until later that it had any meaning to it.

But it is a pretty name.

A lonely chord, without a song.
I met a man at the cell phone kiosk who's name was Eric Shunn. No fooling, he had business cards.

Also, Marpa...that's pretty for par. During the Civil War, there was a Confederate general named States Rights Gist.
