have a reasonably good idea of what the name means.
Using only a last name of Jackson, I found an individual named LaScivious and another named LaTrine.
These are real people saddled with those names.

I know of a girl who got named LaTrina 25 years ago. Wonder whatever happened to her?

I've always thought about what it would be like to introduce yourself at a corporate meeting as an adult with some of the ridiculous names I see, and long ago resolved that my kids would have fairly conventional names and spellings.

I once wrote a ticket to a woman named Uniqua. I shit you not. Just like the backyardigans.
Mrs. Mike used to do HR(hiring) for an eye doc in eastern nc, where she saw real resumes cross her desk. I was visit. Ther for lunch and saw the trash pile and if she couldn't begin to pronounce the name- into the can it went.

I worked with a Richard Head and yes he went by Dick.
The craziest thing was that this was 35 years ago when sales calls ran through the intercom system because no one had cell phones. The first few times hearing him paged over the loudspeaker I was thinking it was a prank and I couldn’t believe the secretary was falling for it. Took about a month before you didn’t think anything of it.
Working in car dealerships we used to see some “interesting and unique” names on repair orders.

My ex worked with a woman named Female (rhymes with tamale). Her mother didn't speak English and when she saw the hospital birth record she thought they had named her baby.
Yes, Female was an anchor baby.
