We had an Anastasia in our family, nobody knows why, since the rest were all quite ordinary Irish Catholic names like Frances and Constance and Michael.

A wacky middle name is a good time.
My sister wanted me to name the Dillo "Edward Copernicus," but we didn't.
I know a family with kids named Tycho and Celeste. The mother is an astronomer.
I do not understand why publishing requires an environment like that. Get over yourselves, wordsmiths!
I feel like we missed out not giving either kid the middle name "Danger".
I know one of those! And a mutual friend who is super judgey about it.
I have an ancestor named "Experience," too. Experience Baker. She married a Collins. She was from the Puritan side of my family, too. Hey flea, maybe we're 300th cousins!
Nah, mine was Experience Wing. She lived to be over 80 and had 11 children, so she did live up to the name eventually.
We just have president names on one side of the family.
multiple Van Burens, a Woodrow Wilson, and I thought one other, but I cannot locate it now.
My grandfather's name was Weed and his brother was Reno. It was a large family and many of the boys ( I don't think the girls so much) were named after where they were born ( or nicknamed like my grandfather, but he legally changed his name when he turned 18)
We have a Minor (or Miner, now I don't remember how it was spelled) on another branch. A few of them, actually, it became a family name but I don't know why the first one was called that, it doesn't seem to have been anyone's last name)
