(Our kid is named after the title of a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta. I gave her a much more normal (though still not hugely common) middle name, in case she ever hates the first name... But so far, she does fine. Though we use a more Greek pronunciation, and most people just shorten her name to "Io" (EE-oh, almost "Yo").)
The whole episode reminded me of the two trashy older chicks in Beavis and Butthead, who always introduced themselves as "Hi, I'm Tequila, and this is Tanqueray."
Except when it's a little blonde WASP equestrian named after expensive single malt Scotch, it's classy.
One usually has to wait for prison to pick up a name like Mad Dog or Night Train.

I'm totally naming my kid Bud Pounder. He's going to grow up to be a professional wrestler/ambulance chasing lawyer.
