My boyfriend just told me that in the course of his job he came across a boy named Overy. Spelled that way but could it be pronounced any other way than "ovary".

My brother has come across a Somalia and a Mister.

Come on people. :wtf:

I went out once with a woman from Newark named Flourine. Sounds nice if you forget what it means, but...

4. Might be an urban legend, but

I remember reading that Russian schoolkids voted for "diarrhea" as the prettiest-sounding English name for a girl.

5. I heard of a girl named Chlamydia.

In her mom's defense, that was a nymph or a godess or something.
