Here are some strange names I found in an article (Marijuana Pepsi will see you now) published just a few days ago:
- Apocalipsis (female)
- Crystal Sunshine Turpin Lemons (female), who happens to be on Facebook
- Cupcake (female)
- Drift Wood (female), sister of Timber (see below)
- Marijuana Pepsi (female), who has sisters with the very normal names Kimberly and Robin
- Mighty Fine (male)
- Tahiti Starship (female), who says: “My parents were hippies. They said they were dreaming of Tahiti. And they named me Starship after the band.”
- Timber Wood (male), brother of Drift (see above)
- Yellow Light (male), who I’ve blogged about before
For more on Marijuana Pepsi, who managed to overcome her name and accomplish some very cool things, check out this Journal Sentinel article: A woman named Marijuana plays it straight – and wins.

Have you ever read The Outsiders? A few of the protagonists have unusual names (which were their real names): Ponyboy and Sodapop and Dallas (all brothers).
I’ve never read it — thanks for letting me know! Here’s more on the novel if anyone’s interested.
