Funky English Names

I used to think that people give themselves English names so that people can catch it easier. I put one for myself since most people can't hear my name right for the first 2 or 3 times I say it. Even the introduction phrase of Hi I'm DONOVAN got people saying WHAT? COME AGAIN? So Donovan didn't fully solve the problem lah I suppose.

Only some people who watch football can catch my name at the first attempt. In case you are wondering, NO. I didn't name myself Donovan because of this guy. Although I do like him as a footballer.

SO, HERE IS MY QUESTION: WHAT IS THE WEIRDEST/FUNKIEST/MOST NEVER-HEARD-BEFORE ENGLISH NAMES THAT YOU HEARD?

I realized I put a name not so common in our community but there are people who pushed it further than me. For example Chrono or Crono. *duno how to spell*even google don't know such names.

There are more that I've heard such as Dominance and Clifford but that Chrono name tops the list. Where did they get these names from I wonder. I put an English name at the front because my name Aik Bu was hard to catch. No sure why they name themselves like that. At least now I can feel better about my own name. hehehehe
