Just been watching the news and the president of Nigeria is called Goodluck Jonathan, to which I found strange and childishly amusing.

Anyone know of other REAL people with strange names like this?

Wonder who is first to say Ben Dover?!

Moon Unit Zappa (although she simply goes by Moon Zappa), the daughter of Frank Zappa, he also named his other daughter Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa (again she goes by Diva Zappa)

I think you could include all of Zappa's kids


(Edit: You did, thanks for the sly edit making me look like an idiot there )



Also, include this guy:

The president of Nigeria has been well known for years.
The really strange people are the ones who use only one name like Prince and Madonna, and the people who give their children idiotic names, as Zappa and Beckham did.

I imagine he has one of the manliest campaign videos ever, in fact he's probably so manly he refuses to use the word "campaign".

I read an article in the paper recently about parents calling their kids strange names. Such as Bob Geldof's kids.

Who was the famous couple who named their kid Apple?
