Funny Names (85+ Hilarious Names, Dirty Names, Kahoot Names)

Looking for funny names? There are people out there with some pretty wacky names. And it's not just first names; last names can be just as weird. Some people go to great lengths to stand out from the crowd, from nutty prefixes to unusual suffixes and made-up words.

Anybody who has attended school knows plenty of classmates with unusual names. Some of these monikers seem more like fictional characters than real human names. While this may seem trivial, a recent study found that people with strange names face greater difficulties when applying for jobs or university programs.

An unusual name can also be positive since it makes your name memorable. Read on for some wacky names- and if you see one you like, maybe think about using it yourself!

Funny celebrity names

Ordinary people are not the only ones with hilarious names; celebrities are known to have some outlandish names. They tend to name their kids some pretty uncommon names too. Gwyneth Paltrow and her ex-husband Chris Martin (from Coldplay) named their daughter Apple and their son Moses. That sounds pretty biblical if you ask me. Zayn Malik, the One Direction pop star, likely got his name from the Arabic word زين, which means “beautiful.”

Some other celebs’ names are a bit odder. The R&B singer Ciara; her name comes from the Scottish Gaelic word “car,” which means “dark-haired.” Or Justin Timberlake’s wife, Jessica: her parents were inspired by the Biblical character, the prophetess, Kabbalah.

Funny single-named celebrities

Celebs are some of the only people to use a single name as their main/stage name:

• Madonna
• Cher
• Adele
• Bjork
• Bono

And still, many other celebrities have jettisoned their surnames for the shorter, simpler, single or double syllable sounds. Maybe it's a privilege of the celebrity circle that they get to go by their first (and oftentimes made-up) name!

Names with bizarre spelling

Some people go to great lengths to find a name spelled completely different from the norm. This can be seen in how these people spell their peculiar monikers. Take the example of Dr. James McLaughlin. His parents wanted him to have a name that made him stand out from other students. In this case, it worked. Other odd spellings include the surnames of actress Jennifer Aniston (which sounds like “anniversary” instead of “Aniston”), actress Olivia Wilde (which uses “wild” instead of “wilt”), and singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus.

Sounds-like names

You may have noticed that some of the names on this list make no sense at all. This is because the people who named their children these things wanted the names to sound like something else. The actress Megan Fox, for example, acquired her name because her parents wanted it to sound like “Beautiful Meg.” The famous (or infamous) Paris Hilton’s parents wanted her name to sound like “Paris, France.” Some other examples include the actress Selena Gomez, who was named after a “hot selina”; the singer Snoop Dogg, who was named after a “hot dog”; and the actress Jenna Fischer, whose name sounds like “Jennifer’s fish.”

Funny meaningless names

Sometimes people with wacky names go so far as to name their children after completely made-up words. A common example is the name Ursula, which means “well-known maiden.” People with this name might feel like they need to explain that it’s not pronounced like “urine.”

Other examples include the name Chloe, which is pronounced “kloe” and means “young leaf”; the name Deanna, which means “active”; and the name Tiffany, which means “tender and delicate.”
