I worked with a guy named Mike Hunt - yes, he went by
Mike. It used to be the order of the day to initiate
new receptionists by having them page him over the PA
system. I think most of them fell for it. I know I had
numerous opportunities arise where I had to page him,
though I was smart enough to say "Michael Hunt, line
one please, Mike, line one."

Most of the odd names I know are right in my family.
My cousins have named their children: (girls) Avery,
Chyna, Talina (boys) Kailan, Austin, Nolan.

Nyssa has friends named: Sierra, Sienna, Hunter, Otia,
Brinkley, Keenan and Savannah. All the boys she knows
have relatively common names like Andrew, Jason,
Chris, etc. Add to this all the kids she hangs out
with from other countries. I've started asking them to
spell their names for me when they call for her. :-)
