marissa ramsbottom - she figured out a good way around it; she had a band called the boongas/bangers (they changed their name depending on location) and everybody called her mara, so she shortened her last name to ram, so now she's mara ram, a palindrome; and one of these days will be famous

Have you seen the kind of names celebrities give their kids?

Sylvestor Stallone's daughter is named "Sage Moon Blood". Then, Jacko's sons are called "Prince Michael" and "Prince Michael II" (what an ego!). Oh wait, Sonny and Cher's daughter is called Chastity (and she's a lesbian!).

"Fame, fame, fatal fame..."

not as bad as George Foreman, whose five sons are all called George. He also has five girls, two of whom are Georgetta and Freeda-George.

And let's not forget Paula Yates various offspring: Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Pixie (with Bob) & (obviously making up for lost time) Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily with the dearly departed Michael.

Isn't one of Woody Allen's biological kids Satchel? Maybe I just misread it...

I've been told Dweezil was named something boring and changed his name when he found out what Frank had originally intended. Admittedly, he changed it at a young age, so it's a bit like kids naming their pets weird things. :)
