Awesome names that you never call your kid

We always swayed to unusual names when both our boys were being cooked, but when they were born we chickened out

Names that were mooted:
Drake
Sterling
Tron (In a jokey but not entirely type of way)
 
The team medic/physio for our American Football team is a guy called Dan Marino.

The irony is... until he came to us he had no idea who Dan Marino was.
 
I wanted to call our son Thor Ike but he came out with a vagina so we agreed on Molly

Surname is a T too so I never got my little tit :(

Used to know 4 brothers called Ricky, Rocky, Ian and Lance. Always felt sorry for Rocky.

About 25 years ago, I knew (of) a woman on a local council estate whose two boys were called Mario and Luigi. She had her boyfriend's name tattooed on her forehead too.

My first run in with Mario was when he was about 3. I caught him touching my motorcycle and - concerned that he might burn himself - asked him to stop touching. I was greeted with a finger and a load of swear words.
 
I named my son Max. But on his birth certificate his official name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. I went to a psychic shortly before he was born and she told me some things I shall never forget. She told me that my son would grow to be a great man but his life would be stricken with tragedy. She said, that one day he would be held against his will and would have to explain himself. She said he would say, my name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Clearly this is distressing for me and the wife, so we have decided to send him to a public school. Yes, it's expensive, but at worst he'll just end up gay, and to be honest, I quite like the gayers.

lol just remembered another...

At my aunt/cousins council flat, they lived in Tower Hamlets, Awful place. 2 local Kids we played with... one called Mustapha and the other called "Gherkin."
 
My mother was convinced that we were going to name our daughter something from a Fantasy or Sci Fi novel. We had them convinced for a while that Pandora or Artemis were our first choices. :D

My brother narrowly missed being called Finbar, which would have been awesome.

On the subject of funny names I went to school with a Jack Russell and always thought that the child called Richard Richards showed a crashing lack of imagination on the part of the parents.
