This might have been mentioned before (sorry, I've not read the whole thread just dipping in and out) but Fred from First Dates, his fiancée is named Fruitcake. I actually think its quite sweet but I can't imagine looking at a tiny baby and considering that as a name choice.

i saw someone had a little girl name Bleu, and then realised that Bleu was a shortened version of her full name - Bleubelle, like the flower but with Blue spelled Bleu! why?! that poor kid is going to spend forever correcting people when they understandably assume her name is spelled like the flower!I know a girl who’s daughter is Wynter Rosé… rosé like the wine
It's his nickname for her. I don't think they've ever publicised her actual name.
I really don’t get it with Bleu, I’ve seen it as a middle name…. Are they pronouncing it like the English blue, or the French bleu, which is more like bleugh?!i saw someone had a little girl name Bleu, and then realised that Bleu was a shortened version of her full name - Bleubelle, like the flower but with Blue spelled Bleu! why?! that poor kid is going to spend forever correcting people when they understandably assume her name is spelled like the flower!
i don't know for sure, but i imagine they're pronouncing it like the colour blue, thinking "Bleu" is a super unique and KrEaTiV spelling of Blue, without realising that, in French, the pronunciation is different. for the sake of that little girl, I hope that's the case, because Bleugh-bell is an awful name!I really don’t get it with Bleu, I’ve seen it as a middle name…. Are they pronouncing it like the English blue, or the French bleu, which is more like bleugh?!
Millie Radford's son has Bleu as a middle name, and given the way the Radford's pronounce Ophelia, i very much doubt they know that Bleu is technically pronounced more like "bleugh" than Blue - which, realistically is probably a good thing, because Bleugh is a pretty hideous name.
Enid is a despicable name. So whiny yet abrupt. The “nid” sound is horrific.
As for surnames, the name Grealish makes me feel physically sick. Like a cauldron of boiling offal being stirred by a minging old warlock.

I always read it the French way. Why would you name a child thatI really don’t get it with Bleu, I’ve seen it as a middle name…. Are they pronouncing it like the English blue, or the French bleu, which is more like bleugh?!
Thank you! I feel vindicated
I went to uni and the three girls in my halls were called Edith, Pamela and Geraldine. I am 33 but still, these names seem so dated to me.
Were they Singaporean or Hong Kong by any chance? I know some people from there with super old fashioned English names. Perpetua, Theophilus, Eunice.
I had a Nevaeh in my nursery and the other practitioner I worked with had no idea it was heaven spelled backwards until I mentioned it!Don't know if this has been said but (nevaeh) heaven spelled backwards. If you have to explain a name then it is stupid.
Haha no they were white and it was in Northern Ireland
.I knew of a Deborah who pronounced it Du-bore-ahDeborah is such an ugly name.
I knew someone who pronounced it like that too. Fortunately it was her middle name.I knew of a Deborah who pronounced it Du-bore-ah
Common way to say it where im from haha. Debra is never heard. Still find it an ugly name.
A child on the beach today was called cobin 
You haven’t lived until you’ve heard your own name screeched across a park/beach/supermarket by a rough family. Gives you a certain grounding.
Honestly I say this to my partner! Grealish..like some sort of gristle
Someone I know called their son RiyleRhylee
