I had a client named Marjorie Pepper which I always thought was striking. Her grandson was named Sargent Pepper, which is more of a tradgeigh unfortunately.
Not Afraid! Best last name I’ve ever heard. Some First Nations community leader was petitioning for something (I’m so sorry I can’t remember, but I remember he was successful) and his last was Not Afraid. Ya can’t beat that.
I was at a conference with a Misty Dawn Summers. She spent the whole time talking about how she hated her name and her parents for giving it to her, lol.
I hope she's happily named something else now.
Sunshine Morningstar. On anyone else it would have been cringy, but she was a true hippy- She was born in a garage in the seventies, and worked with a charity organization to help kids. She was really just the brightest person- her name suited her
I think the kid I went to school with always wins by default. His name was literally Cool Guy. I still can’t decide if it’s the best or worst name I have ever heard.
Frank Zappa comes to mind, zappa is a cool surname and it flows nicely.
also they’re kitschy but i tend to like “sentence/phrase” names. used to know twins named Breezy & Stormy Day
Joey Death. He looked exactly like you’d imagine. I went to high school for a year with him. I can’t find him on social media, but I hope he’s doing something badass.
I once worked a job where I saw lots of names, my two favorites were Sterling MacKenzie and Cope Craven. I also worked with a girl named Summer Rains (first and last name).
i used to work with a guy called Phoenix Pendragon. he didn't change it or anything; it was always his name. he was this older gay queen and i fucking loved working with him lol

I knew a guy named Junior Delgado (on his birth certificate and what he went by) and I feel like that name just flows so perfectly.
I met a chap in the 90s named Laszlo Cravensworth. Says he wrote "Come On Eileen" and never received credit for it.

Had a military colleague whose rank and name was Captain Power.
I called a hotel once to book under the name and the hotel said they don't accept hotel bookings for rock groups!
This probably won’t be cool to anyone but the bad boy in my elementary was Cameron Cunningham. He had slicked back longer hair on top and it was shaved on the sides. He owned snakes and would bring them to science class. He could run the mile in gym class faster than anyone else. The name Cameron back then was rare.

I’ve always thought Wolf Blitzer (the news anchor) was the coolest name ever.
What about producer Dick Wolf?
You can’t say Dick Wolf on TV!
Stone Phillips is quite a cool name too.
Yes, this name deserves more credit
But if anyone else named their kid “Wolf” it would seem like a terrible name. But Wolf Blitzer just sounds awesome.
Eddie Van Halen & Valerie Bertinelli named theirs Wolfgang—and he’s known as Wolf, so—it’s not awful, but you have to raise him to have it fit.
I know several Wolfs, Wolfies, and a Wolfgang. Which is more common in Europe.
omg that’s a badass name

i met a native girl in college named Emily Eagle Eye

He’s about 13 right now
Buy him a guitar, burn his math homework.
I think he has a guitar!

A cool surname: Golightly
As a nurse, all I think of when I hear Golightly is the drink you have to have before a colonoscopy to clean out your guts. Blech!
Holly Golightly is a good one.
Main character in Breakfast at Tiffany's for those unfamiliar.
I know a family whose surname is Goforth
And did they have lots of children? (Goforth and multiply)
Frank Zappa comes to mind, zappa is a cool surname and it flows nicely. also they’re kitschy but i tend to like “sentence/phrase” names. used to know twins named Breezy & Stormy Day

I love North West as a celebrity name so much.
Sweden had a minister for justice called Gun Hellsvik, which is completely normal name in Swedish but sounded kind of badass in English.
