Why are names so weird?

Do this exercise.
Think of three random nouns at the top of your head and put them together and add a bit of creativity and come up with a perfect "name" for a kid if you were expecting a baby.
I just thought of "fan" (because it is hot)..."fishing pole" (because I like to fish)...and "garbage" (because garbage day is tomorrow and I am reminded that I have to have it out in the morning).
Therefore, I get Fanishia Fishpolia Garbacia.
I know this is weird, but I just got back from the Atlanta airport and have just heard some good ones today...but they were actually real names, and I was baffled.
"Mystique" and "Thrower" helped me out today. Very nice people, no doubt about that. Just wondering at name choices.

My name means wise counsel in a language that stopped existing a thousand years ago.

My name is Gaelic and means "friend of God at the green gate."

Before or after the Vikings? Hopefully not before William the Bastard? What a complete arse.
Things really began to change after that.
We really need to add the "thorn" and "ash" back into the English Vocabulary if you ask me.
Is your name Knute or Bruthhilda by any chance.
You didn't give me much to work with.

That is a fascinating meaning. I have never studied Gaelic before. I am more Germanic and Russian in mentality, but that is oddly beautiful to me. Cultures are amazing.

I wonder how many Baracks and variations of it (Ba'rack, B'rock, etc.) we will have playing college football in like 11 years.

The Normans were more like Scandinavians than Franks culturally.

My ultimate namesake defeated the Danes and Danelaw and is credited as the first king of England, as well as the only one with the epithet, "The Great"

Only History can tell.
You have to simply understand humanity at any given point in History.
There are just as many "Bakers" (simple cooks), and "Smiths" (metal workers) in America who migrated here long ago just to get a new life.
Poor, desperate, people from Italy, Ireland, Germany, England and Poland did the same thing. We all need help at some point. We have all yearned to breathe free.
As long as you are American, or at least try your best to become, then you are fine with me.
Enjoy it, because things can change in a heartbeat if you don't watch it.

I'm a little apprehensive about putting this out there, but we're all SEC football fans and so I know that I can trust y'all and that you'll all keep it under wraps. I just don't want no identity theft, you know.
My actual name is Squeezes Penis Williams. I'm not sure what it means. My parents were hippies who wanted to be Navajos.

My name means Noble Shepherd. I think my parents were being optimistic, as I doubt many nobles were herding sheep.
