When I worked in the maternity unit, there was one young girl who wanted to name her kid "Blue Smurf". Our head nurse, who filled out the birth certificates to send to the state, flatly refused to put that name on the birth certificate. The lucky kid ended up with a decent name.

Then there was Heaven Lee. I've actually run across a few of these.

I guess all in all, Q isn't bad when compared to Hitler or Talulah whatever. And think about that poor kid named Hitler. He's going to have it rough in school.

Then there's the actor Nicolas Cage who named his kid "Kal-El". Hey, I bet were all for that name.

The sisters, Ima Hogg and Youra Hogg really existed. There is some controversy over whether Youra was real - mostly because people question whether the name is a real name. It is. My grandfather's first wife was named Youra (not Hogg, though).

And let's not forget Penn Jillette's (of Penn and Teller) daughter's name - Moxie CrimeFighter.
