I would imagine more than Christians named Satan.

I think they're spending too much time together, that is of course, if you catch my drift. Asher: I think he's *ucking her, and he's cheating on his wife, and he's risking his marriage, and if his wife finds out about it she'll leave him and take their son, and his life will be ruined. If you catch my drift...

And there are a few Moslems whose full name contains the word "Islam." [I know: I work with some guys from the Middle-East.]

In this part of the country, there are a lot of hispanic people. Jesus (pronounced hay-SOOS) is a common name. It can be a real gas when you see a story about a local little league game with a headline that reads: "Jesus hits home run".

I looked up the character name Jesus Christ at the IMDB once, it turned out there were several hispanic Jesuses who played him. Actually, it's not really that funny if you remember his name is often Jesucristo in Spanish, not Jes�s, though I guess it occurs from time to time.

Hm... A Buddhist named Buddha... Isn't Buddha a title? That would be like a person named "God", or something... *points out that if anyone wants to name their kid after Buddha, his real name was Siddhartha Gautama (sp?)* Imagine growing up and learning to write your name like that... *L*

*Names his kid "Son of the Supreme Ruler of All the Universes" just so there'll be no mistakes*
Such lengths some people will go to to make sure their kid has a "unique" name..
Of course, I collect wierd names, but it's getting to be a surplus commodity..

Of course, in my day, I rode the bus to school with Thurman Bowser, Lon Schmuck, and five kids all with the last name "Fartini" as well as a kid named Glen Dwyer (nothing odd about that, but his sister was Barbara -- Barb Dwyer).

I read a newspaper article about names once, names are rarely officially rejected unless it is for the child's own good (over here, at least). The given example was of parents who wanted to name their daughter Urine.
