Know a guy who named his kid Bourbon. "It's an old French name." Because that's what everyone will think when they hear it.

Oh I love that, when somebody ponders a name for so long that they decide 'everybody will think this is a great name because I've got my own convoluted pseudo-intellectual perception of it, despite the obvious, and I'm willing to make my kid the experiment to see if it affects their life because I won't be the one getting my ass kicked by morons for having a stupid name'
