While not the worst, a friend of mine who worked an appointment desk once came home and announced "I just made appointments for three people named Unique today"

Perhaps not the worst, but I've had it with anything that rhymes with Aiden

I was doing payroll recently for my work, and came across Harsh Harsh. I had to ask our HR lady, really? His last name was Harsh and his parents named him Harsh?

Well, no. She said his name was simply Harsh but our system required a last name so she repeated it.

Still, pretty harsh I think.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Woulda made them set my first name as "Just" so it'd be "Just Harsh" and it should make for some who's on first fun.

Scholastika. Real name in Slovakia. I have never ever met anyone of that name. I am still waiting for brothers Nihilizmus and Solipsizmus.
