There was a name change application in one of the courts I cover filed by a guy named Mohammed Butt
It was actually for his daughter, whose name was something like Shareefa Butt.
He actually wrote, under reason for name change, "I want my daughter to stop being the butt of jokes"
But the best part was that the court office lady who showed it to me went on like this for about five minutes straight:
"Hi there, I'm Mr. Butt" (long pause) "Hey, I'm Mr. Butt, I'm here for my appointment." (long pause) "This is my wife, Mrs. Butt"

I met a bunch of people from this cult. I worked in a restaurant next to their "offices".
They all have retarded names. Like "heart spider", "morning Cloud", "Puff the magic dragon".

Various ex-clients and associates:
Mister M3l0n - I thought it was pronounced as in "Carnegie Mellon", his secretary told me that it wasn't. Very difficult to keep from laughing when I spoke to him on the phone.
D0ct0r Fuch5 - pronounced "fucks", German guy, genuinely didn't have any idea what his name meant in English, got very cross when I intentionally mispronounced it to avoid offending him... "Why is it that English people have such trouble pronouncing my name correctly? It is F-U-C-H-S FUCKS!!!"
A guy named after a particular copyrighted name for a plastic flying disc.
A woman whose surname meant "piglet" in French.
Also there was a girl who was named after a particular Latin American band.

(which makes me feel kind of bad posting under it when there is a real Maria, but I have been for years and there's at least one person in ILX who posts under my real name, so why bother switching?)
