    Teddy Joseph Von Nukem

    Couldn’t make a dumber name if I tried to. I was wondering what kind of parent names their son that, but no, turns out he inflicted that on himself:

    Von Nukem, who was born as Teddy Landrum, told the outlet he changed his name in 2012 in a nod to his German heritage and the video-game character Duke Nukem.

      I used to be involved in approval of user name changes to match name changes. Most are pretty pedestrian like marriage, gender transitions, and the occasional escape from an abuser. But every once in a while, we have run across an oddity, like the guy who repeatedly changed his last name to various luxury car brands.

      Oh yes, the ridiculous obsession of muricans with European countries that they know nothing about.
