Actually, for Batman bin Suparman’s name - the Arabic reads “Batman bin Suferman” - there’s probably a little photoshop going on in that one…

Suparman is a common Javanese name - almost all moslems there have “arabicized” names, though they seldom use it. I’d say someone actually mis-translated his name into Arabic rather than the other way around …

I was just having a conversation about weird names with my Boyfriend and his family.
My boyfriend knew someone in highschool with the name “tittyporn Gangasac.” Probably not spelled exactly like that but he said if you looked at it that’s totally what it said….subs and teachers were quite confused.

It was the man who founded the London fire brigade service who revelled in the Puritan monicker of
The-Lord-is-My-Sheperd Barebones.
Top stuff.

Here, in Spain, we have a Kevincosner de Jesús. Yeah, he was named after Kevin Costner, but his parent´s didn´t know the right spelling of Kevin´s name. And it´s only the name There is not a surname in “Kevincosner de Jesús.”
And in Venezuela there is a town where everybody name his children with strange names. In fact, the government made a law to stop this way of naming, cause the names are as strange as Genghis Kan, Nick Carter Backstreet boys, Makgiber, Yedoska (Y2K in Spanish) Adolfohitler (It´s only the name.) bla bla bla.

It’s illegal in Quebec to give your kid a name that is too bizarre, the naming nazis will refuse a registration if they feel that the name is too weird. My friends’ tried to name their kid Spatula but were denied, although they continued to call him Spatch.

Do people who give their children bizarre names out of protest or for money think about the burden they put on the child? I have much more concern for my children than to subject them to the difficulties that a life with a strange name would cause them.

You find some gems if you’re into genealogy. One of my favourites was probably unintentional. Still, I wonder if, in the 1800s, poor little Harry Langstaff got teased a lot. He’d get teased today for sure!

John Tierney of TierneyLab blog had a contest to determine the worst bad name ever, and the winner is: Iona Nipl!
The judges chose it because, in addition to being an embarrassing pun, it also set up an inevitable reply from people imagining they were being wittily original. I called up Miss Knipl and asked her how many times she had heard someone meet her and reply, “I own two.”
“I got sick of hearing it, but what can you do?” Miss Knipl said. “My mother never thought about that when she was naming me. It was her mother’s name. I came home from school a couple times crying and my mother said, ‘Oh, why did I do that?’ but it had never occurred to her how people would hear the name.”
Miss Knipl shed the pun when she got married and began using her husband’s last name. But then, after they were divorced, she went right back to her old name. It might have simpler to keep her husband’s name, she told me, but by this time she had come to appreciate the advantages of Iona Knipl.
“In school it bothered me, but now I think it’s neat,” she said. “It’s different.”

We named our kid Eris Helena Strange. My wife was ok with Strange, but put the Helena on there in honor of her grandmother. I also know of a couple in New York who gave their child the middle name “trouble”.

Odd Wang (seriously! Norwegian name…)

I’ll not forget this one until the day I die:
Bloomer Waddle LemonI was working at a sporting goods store in 1976; my job was to fill out deer hunting licenses and collect money for same. This required a driver’s license, so for 8 hours a day people shoved their license at me along with $8 and I wrote out licenses without having time to even look up at the line of custies. But when the license read “Bloomer Waddle Lemon” came across my counter, I did take a sneakpeak at the guy. He was HUGE so I did not so much as crack a smile.

In my college town there was supposedly a woman employed at the local Wal*Mart named Marijuana Pepsicola Jackson. The story went that she was named after her parents two favorite things. Her nametag at Wal*Mart read “Mary Jane.” I never independently verified this story, but it’s too good not to repeat.

William “Pete” Peterson III.
There are several problems with this real but seemingly normal name.
1) there were no William Petersons, either Sr. or Jr.
2) Pete is in quotations marks on the birth certificate.
3) Peterson is not the last name of either parent.
4) William is a girl.I can personally vouch for the authenticity of this name. The mother had several children who had to be taken from her custody, as she was schizophrenic and kept having kids. Her other children had names like Inches and Emer Gency (it came to her as if in a vision when she was on her way into the emergency room).

Batman is not a common Malay name, but Suparman is. It was Arabicized later into Suferman. There is no general Arabic letter for ‘p’, the closest is ‘f’.
