People with silly and / or stupid names

Which makes me wonder how many postpeople are called Patrick or Patricia....

A girl I knew named her daughter Rainbow Anastasia and her son Kiss

I had a teacher with that surname. He was very good, one of the best teachers I had.

just spotted somebody on Linkedin called Yaw Afful.

Precious

I once met someone called Precious, awful person.

Fanny Bullock Workman

some woman

The Workmans' trip to India, Burma, Ceylon, and Java lasted two and a half years, beginning in November 1897, and covered 14,000 miles (23,000 km). At the time, Fanny was 38 and William 50. They bicycled about 4,000 miles (6,400 km) from the southernmost tip of India to the Himalaya in the north. To ensure they had access to supplies, they rode along major thoroughfares near railways, and were sometimes forced to sleep in railway waiting rooms if no other accommodation was available. They carried minimal supplies, including tea, sugar, biscuits, cheese, tinned meats, water, pillows, a blanket for each of them, writing materials, and medical and repair kits.[28] They dispensed with their bicycles at the northern end of their trip and hiked over passes between 14,000 feet (4,300 m) and 18,000 feet (5,500 m).[28][29] The trip was grueling. They often had little food or water, dealt with swarms of mosquitoes, fixed as many as 40 bicycle tire punctures per day, and slept in rat-infested quarters.[30] Fanny Workman's book, written after the trip, highlighted the ancient architecture that they had seen rather than the contemporary local cultures.[29] Mrs Workman mentions in "My Asiatic Wanderings" about India "I have wheeled through much enchanting scenery, in the palm and banyan grooves of Orissa, Over the green and scarlet slopes of the Terai... But I have never cycled 1200 miles in a country so continuously beautiful."

I have never cycled 1200 miles

Me neither.

That would have been "Superb" but it was a Polo.

As excellent names go, that one can hardly be bettered, although it may of course be a total misnomer.

Here's another good one--Professor Carmona writes a report moaning about cars (thanks to @skidlidsid for the link here):

I recently met a lady with the first name Kripalini. She had just had a bunion operated on.
