Hi rpbGlad you finally got around to using names. I'll bet you find them useful.Enjoy

For a while there, it seemed like every baby in Canada was named either Tyler or Tanner. I never liked the other occupational names either, like Carter or Taylor. I'm just waiting for somebody to name their kid Busdriver.

There was a long run here in Texas of poor little infant boys being named Dallas, Houston, Austin,........but no Waxahachies or Palestines that I ever heard of. Odd.

Regan Farquhar is as close as I can find. I suppose someone might name their child after him.

Several of the female names are already common in America - Angel, Joy, Hope, Summer. Similar to Dreng, we have the name Guy for men.We also have people named after every single capitalized word in the English Bible.And then, as oni pointed out, there's apparently no limit to what black people will name their children.Jon

There was a contractor that worked at the company I used to be at from Vietnam. His first/last name combo was most unfortunate. Fuk Yao.

I know about the corresponding US names, and i actually think that Hope is a beatiful sounding name. However, 'Hb' is not..The english Joy, is a name in Denmark too, though it is just as stupid as the danish Fryd. Dreng refers to a young male child. Guy would be 'Fyr' in danish.Edited by rbp, : No reason given.

Chinese people having names that sound funny in English is perfectly understandable - it's a country where the majority speak little to no English, and you can't be expected to avoid names that sound silly in every one of the thousands of extant languages around the world.However, I was a bit more surprised to see the unfortunate lady voted as having the worst name in the Netherlands a few years ago - in a country where most people speak English very well and where American TV is shown in original English all the time. She's called Fokje Modder - bearing in mind that 'Fokje' is pronounced 'Fok-ye'.

When I worked at a large multi-national firm, we had 3 daily e-mails from around the world, listing new clients, and the people involved in the work, to make sure that we weren't already working with anyone involved.The e-mail from Asia once anounced that we had been engaged to work with someone named Wan King Man.

I once worked with a chap from Hong Kong called "Hoi yu", we joked (WITH him I should stress) that his wife would be called "Hu Mee"

Though 'guy' meaning 'man' comes from the name I think, not the other way around (a bit like the way Joe is sometimes used especially in the US). Guy, the name, comes from Guido - meaning 'guide'. There's a lot of place names in there. And depending on your translation some other random words get capitalised too. Desert, in Genesis 21 along with Beersheba - neither of which I've seen being used. Nor have I seen Kibroth Hattaavah (Numbers 11). So I imagine this was hyperbole?

My favorite in the list is Ninja!
