Dear God. Poor child. Frank Zappa's children should be pretty grateful.
C'mon then, worst childrens names you've heard...
My Mum used to work at a school and there were a number of siblings who's names were initials, but not 'DJ' as in short for David John or something, they had names like 'SX' and that was their name on their birth certificate. A while later she realised the error of her ways and tried to make a name from the initials, so SX became Essex. Not really an improvement [:)]
Thanks,
Sarah

Surprisingly common:
- Richard Head
- Chris Cross
Not odd sounding names, but fairly amusing (sorry to anyone who posts here with either of those names...)
