Q: What is the strangest English personal name you found used by a local Chinese?
At our ENglish clube we have over 600 members and every now and then, I meet someone with bizarre names. The two that tie for first place i my book was a girl named "Meat" and another who named herself "Cry", I did not ask why.
Girls who choose boys names and vice-versa, and them choosing the wrong spelling to the name are annoying, but funny at times.
A few that come to mind are: Only, Rain, and Crazy.
A girl named Constipation.
Kaiwen:
You should suggest that Emma Royd might be a suitable alternative.
i have found funny names like Monkey, ice, and Mr.pen, etc.....
too many to count , recently ran into a guy called "four" though, he was a grown man and spoke perfect English as well.
i also find spelling an English name wrong as a bit annoying, especially when they try to tell you you're spelling it wrong 
Strugger
He told me it was because strugger means to fight/work hard to read your goals.
Fighting...also other name like Blue, Orange, Yellow , Apple, Grapes..
Dracula

"Ahhh, zveet creatyas of z'night.....vot byutiful muzik zay mayk" (D'zat count?)
snowballeffect:
OK, you can have it,I cant even be bothered t check that one!! :)
Chainey, Anubis (Yes, he knew exactly who Anubis was) and my personal favorite, StopSign.
I knew one very straight laced girl who named herself Randy. When I told her what it meant in British slang she broke out in tears and ran off.
JungleLife:
Hey, I use to have a gf named Randi. Yes, she was a girl, and yes, she was randy.
I did some private math tutoring work on the side and I had a whole group of middle-school girls. This particular gang used monster names. Ogre (from Shrek), Zombie, Ghost, Monster, and Vampire. Vampire was the definition of cute and precocious. She later changed her name to,,,,,ready for it ?? God ! 
mArtiAn:
I had a great kid of about 10 called Hitler. Actually your class sounds like they might have been my old students; I was asked to give English names to a class once, so I just went from one to the next saying, "Batman, Jesus, Skeletor, Professor X..........."
snowballeffect:
Did you call one of them Man-at-Arms, he was one double hard bastard in that program from what I remember.
I met a 7 year old girl name "Zero" and a 12 year old boy named "Starbuck"
The strangest one ive ever heard would have to be Li Yuchen. I mean what is that? Ive never even heard it in English before I just call him Eugene because i cant get my head around it.
I also met one kid when i was over there who asked for an english name so being the nice guy i am I christened him Bangers & Mash
rebstylersaphony:
your a phone. Why would you call him Eugene? whats wrong with you kid? This story doesnt add up. I saw one of your other posts about chinese poses and you seemed intelligent so this makes no sense. Your a phony
I've met Icecream, Apple, Sarua, Baggy, Lemon. This last one was really thinking to call herself Banana but hesitated due the shape of the fruit and the connotation may have for some people.
I had two teaching assistants who, independently (and stupidly), named themselves Kaka and Doodoo. Kaka named herself after the famous soccer player, but I have no idea what "Doodoo" was thinking.
Early 20-something year old girl, chose the name String.
Reminded me of Stringfellow Hawk, from the 80's series Airwolf. That helicopter was badass!
Little Fish, and Mikey, until his mother pointed out after several months that it was NIKE, not Mikey.
Happy Beef is one of my favorites. That and a girl named 'Superman'.
Well, I just met a cute but a bit strange girl yesterday who told me her name was "Orgasma" (I swear). And last year I met an IT geek named "Download". I don't think you can get stranger than this!
