I've heard of real people called Rubella and Angina.

Malcolm Tucker on the name Tim: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

that was a character in Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides.

Is this better or worse than people who give their children horrible surnames as first names though? A class full of girls called Pfeiffer or Lennox or Cholomondely or Baldwin or Lindelof or Cumberbatch is worse, perhaps
