There used to be, about five to ten years ago, a spokesperson for the Zimbabwe government whose given name was Psychologies. I don't remember his, or perhaps her, surname. I was once present at a university graduation ceremony at which one of the graduands had the given name Furniture. I think Psychologies is worse.

Names in English-speaking Africa are known for mostly referencing virtues - Happiness, Blessing, Gifty, Praise and so on. I think these names are alright, but... why Psychologies? It's unnecessarily strange.

In elementary school, there was a girl in my grade named Shawnathan. The story she told was that her parents had expected a boy and wanted to name her Jonathan, so they just mashed it together with whatever girls' name they could think of on the spot. I think, fortunately, she just went by "Shawna." (EDIT: sorry, I meant for that to be a reply to OP.)
