My name is Zephaniah Jedidiah Zechariah Hezekiah (Swedish last name). I'm American. I once told someone my full name, and they said "Who would do that to their child?"
And it's a girl's name . We also have she-Tractor, Stiffy, Moustache ... Saggy, Cloud, Flame, Oedipus, Bitey, while Pidgeon and Scroungy face are more less common plus all the fruit names, you can never beat Slavic name customs

So my Mom's siblings and her wanted to name my uncle Harold Richard Head
I don't know about other countries, but in Germany not all names are allowed. You can choose a name and the state will stop you if it's inappropriate. Which is a very good system imo.
(for example calling your baby Adolf is illegal)
Of course... it's illegal to name it Govno (shit). But you could've name it Shit in 60s when that english loan wasn't used here, now everybody knows what it means. Or for example Scott (which is contemporary slang for son of a bitch), in 60s okay, now not. We have Adolfs.
