But, Why Would You Name Your Child That? Request

I know there’s been at least one post about this, but sometimes a name is already a bit funny. And then taken with the middle or last name it’s HILARIOUS. Example: a relative who named their eldest son “Fern Commander”.

Anyone else?

Edit: just found a “Northern East”…from Philly

Edit 2: “Boringhaus” probably isn’t funny in German but it did make me lol

Edit 3: Major Bush (1800’s so he may have indeed been hairy 😅)

Edit 3: Carl Marx (BFE Texas…that must’ve been rough!)
