Mercedes.

True story. ANd the surname was a boring old O'[something]

A common Spanish name, as it happens.
The cars were called after the daughter of a man who was involved in the company in its early years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler-Benz - apparently one of the conditions was that the name Mercedes was incorporated!!!

Joop is actually a Dutch man's name.
I knew a Joop once, he was a really nice guy.
I'd feel sorry for the girl, though.

Cornelius - seriously, I know a Cornelius! Thats an awful name to be saddled with!

here's a fact for you, actual fact. in the 1906 census in ireland, Cornelius was the number one name for boys in the county of Kerry.

reason being......parents liked to call their kids by gaelic names. At the time, and still, Conor was a very popular name in Kerry.

but it was considered improper to put the gaelic name on the birth certificate. so instead they wrote down the english version of the gaelic name. And Cornelius is the english version of Conor, or was then.

Similarly, there were no Sean's in the 1906 census, only Johns.

There were no names at all in the 1906 census for the simple reason that there was NO census in Ireland that year. 1901 and 1911 were the census years and both of them are online.

Africa. Called so because the child was black. For reals.

Also, a friend of mine used to work in a shop and a knacker came in with her child, my friend asked her what the name of the child was, she said Fi-Maaal-Eee (pronunciation). When asked why, she said "because that was the name on the tag at the hospital and I kept it". It said female on the tag.

Maybe it's due to my interest in Egyptian culture and history, but I personally like the name Isis, wouldn't name my child that, but it's not too bad, I've heard way worse.
