My husband, who has a very normal name for a 50-year old man, would be named Iker today. Ouch!
Iker is a name? :-/
I’m a Zoey! Funny, of my S had been a girl, he’d have been a Zoey.
zand my name when my grandma was born would have been HER name!
Back to the bad doctor names… DH had his vasectomy done by…drumroll…Dick Chop… I kid you not. A friend who had had the surgery done by him mentioned it to us, and the Doctor was covered by our insurance so… It’s been a source of amusement to us for the past 25 years, and we are still chuckling!
I was born in 1964. I put in my name and my younger sister’s name popped up as my 1970s name.
That’s not even one you place total blame on the parents, assuming they did not originate the nickname. I would have been calling myself “Rich” at least starting in pre-K.
I suppose I could put this in the Caitlyn Jenner thread (ETA: that’s meant to be a bit of a joke) … Here’s a list of the most common unisex names: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/there-are-922-unisex-names-in-america-is-yours-one-of-them/
If you don’t want to click on the link, they are Casey, Riley, Jessie and Jackie; Avery, Jaime and Peyton.
“It turns out that nearly 1 percent of Americans (or 1 in 109) have a unisex name, which means that at least one-third of newborns given that name were male and at least one-third were female.”
There is a list of 922 unisex names. Some are pretty unusual, with odd spellings (Skyeler?). One of the name is “Baby.”
Well, at least we all now know that I didn’t make it up! 
I’m a truthful sort
The youngest Jackson no longer wants to be associated with a piece of bedding:
We have a new doctor named Mia Piggee. No lie. I saw her last name and thought glad her parents didn’t name her
Ima the looked again and said…OMG.
For many years there was an OB-GYN in Fall Church, VA named Harry Beavers. I laugh every time I think of it.
And years ago an Ocean City, MD mayor was named Harry Pitts. At least, I think it was OC. It was someplace over in MD.
We also had a Dr. Payne in town; he was a dentist.
My own name, which I won’t reveal, is widely pronounced much differently than how my mother intended it to be said. I personally dislike it and will shorten it by taking off the last letter which will make it into a common nick name.
As for the worst baby names: Yolanda and Gertrude.
Dropping like a stone in popularity!
West and East coast names (but no Midwest, North, South).
Today I found myself in a position to almost giggle over a grown woman’s name , but I stopped myself , even remembering this thread ……
Her given name was Angela ( or so her badge said ) But she chose to be called " Angel " and her signature had a halo over it !
But she was very kind and I wondered if there was something special that made her choose that ?
Bottom line, I took a step back from being judgmental for a change 
Angel is a common boy’s name in Hispanic cultures and there are a lot of male and female Angels in Southern California (but more commonly males). It wouldn’t have seemed at all unusual to me to meet a woman named Angel.
The halo on the signature is certainly unusual. Was that what caused the reaction, or did you find the name itself to be unusual?
Just out of curiosity, I looked up “Angel” on the Social Security Administration’s name site. It was ranked 22nd for boys born in California in 2014. So a very common boy’s name indeed, at least in my state.
She was Italian , very common ethnic background in my area. The name Angel , not so common here . The only other Angel I have known was a girl who babysat for us years ago who was stuck in the cycle of being born from a teen mother and also becoming a mother herself as a teen.
Sofia / Sophia is the most widely used baby name in the world.
I have a friend who has a sister who is a comedienne. She has a great skit about “Aunt Sophie”. There’s something about an old Aunt named Sophie that just starts out funny! Sadly, her skit may be limited now as there are so many young Sophias that our sense of the name will change.
