Help[Opinions] Re: What's the strangest name you've ever run to irl?
in reply to a message by Story
I used to work in a bookstore and during that time I heard some wild ones that made me do a double take. I cannot say my number one, though, because it is so unique that it turns out her social profiles are the only google result when her name is typed in. So I'll spare her that.
But my second place was a 17 year old boy named Parfait.

I have two relatives in my family tree (uncle and nephew) from the Victorian era called Parfitt. I wonder if that was their attempt at Parfait.
I read this post earlier and actually laughed out loud at Parfait.
It's been hours and I'm still laughing.
I feel bad about it and really hope that person goes by another name.

Parfait? Oh dear. I hope he can go by his middle name.
I've run into a few like this online - I once tried to google a terrible name only for it to only come up with the accounts for this one child...... it scares me to say the least! Parfait is hilarious. What can you even say about that?
The only explanation I can think of is that I hope his family was just French, since Parfait means "perfect" in that language.
He must be in his mid-20's by now. Hope that boy had a thick skin.

Jeez, that reminds me why people like common names for the privacy protection.
