...spell that?

I've never been particularly fond of 'creative' names with unusual spellings, unnecessary punctuation marks, or that are just completely made up and defy spelling conventions. People saddle their kids with names like that all the time and it just seems mean when the name you deliberately pick makes them look like an exotic dancer or deadly pathogen. There comes a point where you're no longer being creative, you're just being a dick.

Never mind people with weird names forced on them unwillingly by their parents--but what possesses people to willingly change their names to something that wouldn't even be acceptable for a cartoon character? Some countries have laws concerning what you can and can't name your children (including prohibition on names like 'Facebook' and 'ESPN' and ones that are totally made up), but what about people changing their own names? Should you still be allowed a stupid name if it's your own decision?

Ethics aside, it's hard to keep a straight face when you encounter a guy with a name like this one.

Geezis shit.

How many beers did it take for that to seem like a good idea? You look like a bad hippie parody.

Fucking hell. If I had a name like that, I'd smoke pot and get publicly shit-faced and carry an unregistered gun too.
