I work in education data for local government. We have a big database of all the young people in the county. If we find a child with a stupid name, we will definitely have a good chuckle about it. Please name your children responsibly.

The National of Records of Scotland publishes their list for Scotland every year. My friends and I, as we are incredibly fun and cool, go through it to highlight all the worst entries. The names are often so bad the subreddit r/tragedeigh would think you are taking the piss.
I worked for Guinness at Park Royal years ago, sorting and listing old Victorian share ledgers. There were some cracking names in those. Two, I still remember: Ida Rhoda Pigg and Theophilus Buniface.
We have a big database with a few names that could be considered offensive or silly. I use them as a check to make sure the DB hasn`t been messed with, because they are so out there, any miscreant would be sure to remove them as obviously fake.
