    Student names that really exist in my local area: “L-A” (pronounced “Elldashah”) and Hazmat (shortened to Mat). Not had a Bobby Tables yet, but getting that dash into Eldashahs name was a difficult task, I am told.

      I’ve heard so many claims of Ladasha and Elldasha, along with reports of Lamonjalo and Orangelo. I’d expect them to be more prevalent with so many people reporting they know one.

        Allegedly real names that didn’t break a database so much as people’s brains:

        Female (fe-MAA-leh) - the story goes that the mother didn’t know the word “female” or didn’t know it was spelled that way, so assumed the nurses named the child for her.

        Ampersand (pronounced as the regular word) - the mother liked the sound of it, and well, IMO, it does have an “Amber” + “Amanda” + “Sandra” kind of ring to it (Not now, Lou Bega).

        Shithead (shuh-THEED) - there may be at least two people with this name, or else I’ve heard the same urban legend / of the same person from two different directions. That is, I had heard of this name prior to chatting online with someone who claimed to have met a person by this name.

        In before someone posts the Key & Peele sketch.

    That reminds me of the guy that added code next to his license plate and would crash traffic cameras that way.

      Is this the dude in California that got “null” as a license plate and ended up getting all the fines for which California couldn’t determine whose car it was that ran the red light?

          “Contest them all easily” -> go to court twice a week and wait in line for an hour to get them waived forever in the off chance that you get a real ticket which only happens to most people once every couple of years.

              “Oh look at that car going 300km/h, guess I can arrest him on the spot now and since this is so serious, I should actually go to court and testify to make sure this guy doesn’t get away with it. And since his license plate says “Null”, we can charge him for intent to commit a crime in addition to the crime, he’ll spend some substantial time in jail for this” - the cop about to pull you over
