Re: What is the weirdest name you have heard?
in reply to a message by KJ
Apolloumi or Apollymi, not sure of spelling (b) - according to my Ancient Greek professor who told me about that baby, it literally means "I destroy." The boy in question is often referred to by his parents as "Apollo." We classicists have some rather eccentric tastes in names, but this is strange even for most of us, since it's not even a real Greek name...another person I've heard of has a son named Agamemnon, but since it's a real name, we don't mind it as much.
