Insane names - List From an HR Employee

I have the distinct honor of seeing between 100 and 1000 names every day at work. These are the legal first names of real people. I keep a list on my notes app titled, “Insane Names”. Here are the craziest, worst, and most “unique”.

Insane Names:

Darreayale

Ram

Superman (legal name)

Tamantha

Scholastica

Turkesha

Allegra

Argyll-Ridge

Billyjack (one word)

Jackel

Ebenezer

Lagweena

Manessah

Modesta

Riquandra

Universe

Particularly Bad Alternate Spellings:

Schelby

Caelob

Neveah (spells Haeven backwards, not Heaven)

Linzi

I have kept this list over a long period of time and believe this preserves the privacy and anonymity of anyone associated with the names listed above.

I would also like to add that I researched many (not all) names on the list to confirm that they weren’t a common or recognizable name in other cultures. I regularly see names that surprise me or catch my eye, but I understand that naming culture and language/translations are more vast than my experience.

Have fun!
