Regarding Asian people taking strange Western names as an additional designation, I used to work with international students and many of them did this, the best one was "Shampoo", she kept this for most of the year then suddenly changed it to an actual name. Quite a few of the girls would choose old-fashioned names like "Doris", this seems to slightly predate the recent trend of middle class people giving their children names you'd associate with the parent's grandparent's generation. A friend has Chinese colleagues whom who corresponds with via email, they include Milk, Eagle and Zombie.
I knew of a child named Oana Bumb, pronounced "Wanna Bum", I can't imagine she had a great time at secondary school.
Many years ago, in a universty in NE England I shared an undergrad's pigeonhole with several other students for paper internal communications in the days before email - namely a Mr James Bond, and a Mr Randi Barstad. Sadly I never met either of them!
Is it just me, or do Cricket, Domino and Sin sound like the names of women who hang out with Mr. James Bond?Regarding this, I was on a Philippines Airlines flight once and three of the female cabin crew had the names Cricket, Domino and Sin.
This bizarrely reminds me of when I was about 12. I convinced a school friend that my full name was Michael Dennis Charles William Frederick George Henry Sebastian Peter Jock Hamish Smith McTurtle Wilkinson.

No Deadpools, Aquaman or Cyclops.
The opposite of weird names, from China's surname-poor languages: today I had to work with miss Wong. Her usual classroom partner, miss Wong, wasn't there so I asked after her. Turns out she'd gone to work with another miss Wong for the day while a fourth miss Wong was coming to help the first one.
That's Wong on so many levels.
Reminds me Potoooooooo the horse ('Potatoes')Their daughter has a unique name, yes, and her parents are dickheads.
Or indeed something made up by the editors.(That's assuming it's not a prank by someone who wrote to the magazine in jest, hoping that something so strange would get published)
I have seen Fanny Wagler, Harry Dyck.
I have seen Lucifer used for babies. I feel that it's one thing to change your name to ones like these, but why saddle a baby with it?
Parents can be so nasty while they think (I assume) that they are being quite clever.
That would have cost him something!I also knew someone who'd had his name legally changed to Ebenezer Scrooge.
