    In Zambia, lots of people are named after character traits or arbitrary adjectives. I met a Polite and a Clever.

    Then I met someone who'd met a kid called Hatred. Whole other level...

    New baby in the area called Radish. I wish I was joking. I'm not even sure of the sex. And if you knew the parents, the poor child's name is the least if it's problems. Dysfunction doesn't come into it.

    Not that bad but I do hate all those boys names so in fashion at the moment: Brandon, Tyler etc.

    Or all those pseudo jazz singer names for girls : Lily, Lily May, Ella etc.

    The story is that the father, Robert Lane, decided to call his son Winner, thinking it would give the kid a boost in life. Three years later he had another son, and on the spur of the moment decided to call him Loser. As the Freakonomics authors say about his decision, "Robert wasn't unhappy about the new baby; he just seemed to get a kick out of the name's bookend effect." If the guy had a third son he should have called him "Lover." That, at least, would have fit with the last name.

    The punchline to the story is that Winner Lane ended up as a loser in life, a petty criminal living homeless on the streets. Loser Lane, on the other hand, has been a success in life. He's a detective in the South Bronx. :)

    Not a kid, but a guy in New Zealand has changed his name to: Full Metal Havok More Sexy N Intelligent Than Spock And All The Superheroes Combined With Frostnova

    Do those mental name changes always seem to come from NZ?

    Tis very fashionable in Oz and NZ to give your kid Trouble or Danger as a second name. So you can say stuff like 'This is my son Spike. Danger is his middle name'.

    Harhar.

    I know someone who named their boy Spike. He shares that name with my childhood dog. :)

    I've met an African girl called Precious.

    Also used to be a little African restaurant in North Inner City Dublin called Decency which used to make me laugh.
