After reading the recent news about the initial rejection of Max Hell from St. Peter the Apostle. I wondered about the rigours of owning a bizzare name.
 
MELBOURNE (AFP) - A boy called Hell has been barred from enrolling in a Catholic school in Australia because his surname jarred with its religious teachings, the child's father said Monday. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070709/od_afp/australiareligion
 
Here's a list of other interesting names that would cause some form of consternation or another:
 
Dick Trickle - Nascar driver
Mike Hunt - (say it quickly)
Apple - child of Chris Martin/Gwyneth Paltrow
Moon Unit, Dweezil - offspring of Frank Zappa
 
Seems that the Venezuelans like to get in on the fun too with such classics like:
 
Taj-Mahal Sanchez, Elvis Presley Gomez Morillo, Darwin Lenin Jimenez.

The U.S. Forest Service is also taking part in the investigation. Woody Lipps, a spokesman for the agency, said one of the dumping sites was in George Washington National Forest and the perpetrators could face stiff fines. (from CNN)
