I've heard of someone who named her daughter "Placenta". Eeewy.
I used to think my name (Ryan) was unique, especially in elementary school. However, where I now work we have another staff member named Ryan and at least six kids named Ryan.
Also, my last name is Bowser. It was cool at work last summer because one of the kids in my group was named Mario. Oddly enough I had to get him in trouble a few times so we sometimes had our own Bowser/Mario battles.
For a dog, I like the name Zandar. Especially for a small dog.
