There were multiple kids named ESPN (pronounced Es-pin) one of the years after ESPN started gaining traction.
On an MLB note, auto worker named his kid Marquis Grissom since dad was an auto worker who was parking a Mercury Marquis when the name stuck with him. Kid was quite a player for a number of years.

Oddest name I've come across in public school down here is B'frandis. I dont think there is a story to it, but that was his name. I've seen every version '-isha' or '-iqua'. A couple years ago I think Ohio State's basketball team had guys with the following first names: J'Sean. Jae'Quan. J'ron or some versions of the names.
About 20 years ago there was a district attorney, I believe, in Hunterdon County, N.J., named Dick Hare.
Someone who used to work in a municipal office in Cleveland told me of a resident named Air-laundry Wells.
I went to high school with Heidi Hoe.

A couple interesting examples...
- I worked with woman whose sister was a prenatal nurse and would tell her about all the strange names people gave their kids. The weirdest I can remember was a girl named Formica Dinette Johnson. Honest to God... Formica Dinette. What the hell could they have been thinking about?!?
- Our oldest daughter was born on Christmas day. It was suggested (since my last name is Smith) that we name her Mary Chris Smith. While clever, we decided to go in a different direction.
- Lastly, I worked in a government agency that had a Deputy Assistant Secretary, whose name was Richard Beiter. Needless to say, he insisted on being called Richard. I can only imagine the crap he had to endure as a kid. That alone could have given him probable cause to murder his parents in their sleep. I don't know why he didn't change his name... I certainly would have.

My mom was a teacher, told me of a coworker or friend who had a student named Ashole also. Wonder if its the same person (or a common name in a culture I'm not familiar with?).

I have a customer of mine whose name is Kelly Kelly . I was “introduced” to her via email and thought it was a typo until I met her and she had Kelly Kelly written on her hard hat. obviously she married a guy with that last nam..., she must have really liked the guy to go on that first date
I had a roommate at State named Doctor. He was from Africa. Great guy but he was rather reclusive. It wasn't until the last week of the semester that I found out his actual name was Doctor. I assumed it was a title.
Guessing where he was conceived?
Did dear old dad make a shot in the middle pocket?
I know, weak. Mea Culpa.

John Hotrod Williams (RIP) had three boys and named them all John. He had a girl and named her "Johnna"
sounds Indian (in Asia)
That's where the NSFW author's surname I've seen came from (think of "richard excrement")
yeah...a shame, really. Talk about a kid being exploited. He grew up in a cabin with a dirt floor. He went to Tulane where a guy gave him a shoebox with $8,550 in it. HR Williams didn't understand and simply thought it was payment for playing at Tulane.
He signed a $25m contract that paid up front by the Miami Heat expansion team to satisfy the minimum salary each franchise needed to pay out. So he walked into a realtors office with his agent on a monday and said he needed to buy a home in Bath township Ohio by Friday (Bath is one of the few places that does not charge a 2.5% local income tax). That 2.5% saved him $625,000. He bought a new house for ~ $350,000 in a nice neighborhood development. He left over the summer to go back to Baton Rouge, where he lived. He didn't think to have anyone maintain the property so he got into trouble with the local cops and all of his yard and landscaping died. He had never owned a house before! He had his 6 foot fence taken down and put in an 8' fence because he was 6'11" . He was a really nice guy and never had any real quality guidance until the Cavs took him in and managed him, later the Heat did the same.
I served with a guy in the Marine Corps whose first name was Major. Once he made sergeant, he would always answer the phone "Sergeant Major <lastname>." He thought it was hilarious!
I had a girl in my class one year whose name was Ssenc, pronounced just as if it had an 'e' front and back. She was a real sweetheart and really good student, and her mom was very cool, so after my initial surprise I never thought anything about it.
Have a son who plays lacrosse at a university in Philly. He had a teammate for a couple of years named Richard Carrrier. Richard took advantage of his name to start his own underwear company while he was still in college, Dick Carriers. He used to wear hats with the Dick Carrier logo around after games. I figured he had to endure some comments through high school but in the end he's the one laughing as I believe the business does quite well.

I kid you not, in the hospital where my children were born there was a newborn in an incubator next to theirs with the given name of Sh*thead (supposedly pronounced Shih-theed). A nurse told me the mother named the child that after the dim-witted absentee father. IDK if she got away with it.
Isn't there a law against this kind of abuse? Well, turns out every state has there own (Baby) "Naming Laws". For instance, you can name your newborn Adolf Hitler Campbell in New Jersey, but R2D2 Campbell is strictly prohibited! With apologies to anyone named Campbell (snippet, out of context somewhat):
Welcome to the bizarre legal universe governing the naming of babies. “JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.”2 In selecting their children’s peculiar names, the Campbells had exercised a right specifically recognized in New Jersey statutory law, which states, “The designation of a child’s name including the surname is the right of the child’s parent(s).”3 Indeed, “the child may be given any chosen name(s) or surname.”4 New Jersey recognizes only a few limited exceptions to this right. The “State Registrar may reject a name that contains an obscenity, numerals, symbols, or a combination of letters, numerals, or symbols, or a name that is illegible.”5 If the Campbells had named their son “R2D2,” state authorities would have intervened. “Adolf Hitler Campbell,” by contrast, presented no legal impediments.6 Link: http://www.gwlr.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/80-1-Larson.pdf

Vermont says, “You may use trademarked names (IBM), diseases (Anthrax), and obscenities, but we highly recommend against it.”

Really, I knew a guy whose last name is Lisa. Yep, you guessed it. He met a girl whose first name is Lisa. Naturally, they fell in love and got married. This all happened around the time the band "Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam" got famous.
I knew someone that named their kid 6, the highest number they could. Why not higher? Because 789.
I had a tax guy one year in New York named Richard Weiner. His parents really doubled down. I picked him from the tax firm's website because he specialized in multi-state taxes, had a PSU degree, and of course because of the name. I couldn't NOT pick him.
Doctor Khumalo from South Africa played for the Crew their first two years in MLS.

apparently not, in this age of lowered standardsYou better cover your face...... if anyone sees you “chuckling”, the f^cking PC idiot police are gonna’ label you a “fill in the blank”-ist.
And you can certainly write off any dreams of ever sitting on the SCOTUS
