Student names that really exist in my local area: “L-A” (pronounced “Elldashah”) and Hazmat (shortened to Mat). Not had a Bobby Tables yet, but getting that dash into Eldashahs name was a difficult task, I am told.
I’ve heard so many claims of Ladasha and Elldasha, along with reports of Lamonjalo and Orangelo. I’d expect them to be more prevalent with so many people reporting they know one.
Allegedly real names that didn’t break a database so much as people’s brains:
Female (fe-MAA-leh) - the story goes that the mother didn’t know the word “female” or didn’t know it was spelled that way, so assumed the nurses named the child for her.
Ampersand (pronounced as the regular word) - the mother liked the sound of it, and well, IMO, it does have an “Amber” + “Amanda” + “Sandra” kind of ring to it (Not now, Lou Bega).
Shithead (shuh-THEED) - there may be at least two people with this name, or else I’ve heard the same urban legend / of the same person from two different directions. That is, I had heard of this name prior to chatting online with someone who claimed to have met a person by this name.

In before someone posts the Key & Peele sketch.
