There's a woman in Texas named Louella Hogg who married a man named Fatt & hyphenated her name, although I can't see why you'd want to be Louella Hogg-Fatt.

There's a lady in NYC named Mary Christmas who would be called by all the radio stations at Christmas. The next year she'd change her number, they'd get it from a fan at the phone company & call her, etc. Before I moved out west she'd given up on changing her number & was setting appointments for the radio stations to call her at set times.

In my family the most unfortunate name is probably my daughter Galadriel's (I didn't name her). She spent 30+ years explaining what her name was, & now everyone thinks it's trendy to be named after a character in that movie...

When I married my wife & met her relatives I was introduced to her niece Amanda Lynne. I commented "Oh, like the musical instrument!" Everyone looked at me blankly, no one had ever thought of that & the girl was 15 at the time. She later sold Pampered Chef & didn't know why selling Mandolines was funny, either.
