When I was grocery shopping last week I was checked out by a guy with a very unusual name. All cashiers wear name tags and this guy's name was: ARCADE.
So of course I gave him the third degree on his name😁 Turns out he had legally changed it to Arcade as his parents had named him Michael, which he said was a very plain and common name, and he wanted something more distinctive. I did ask him if he was a "gamer," he said no but he did say a lot of people ask him about his name.
There were probably a hundred more questions running through my head, but by this time he had finished with my order. Very nice kid (probably 19/20 years of age), but a very odd choice of name in my opinion.
Have you run across a very odd name in your travels?
