I like silly names

I know I just posted, but this seemed crucial, and by "crucial" I of course mean "indulge the hedonistbot."

I'm currently doing data entry for a government contracting company, so I'm encountering a few names that strike me as silly or odd or even pretty, although I haven't seen any pretty ones today. Today's are especially good, considering I've only been at work for a little over an hour:

Renne Smoot (I'm not sure if that's Ren or Ren-ay)
Anne Pugh
Linda B. Tribby
S. Chism
Dana- "Dana" is the name of a man, in this case, which is odd, because I've only ever seen it as a girl's name, either as Dana or a nickname for Jardena.

Also the name Ivory is spelled Ivery for one woman.

Any thoughts?

Edit: I've gotten rid of some unnecessary information about some people listed here

I went to school with a boy named Dana for a few years. It's Scandinavian, and just means 'Dane'.

Come to think of it, I went to school with quite a few kids with good ethnic Scandinavian names. One boy was named Arvid.

Ha-ha, I'm from Finland and Scandinavian names seem so-not-ethnic to me. :D

Probably true of most ethnicities. Here in the States we don't have ethnic names, just trendy names, because we're such a hodgepodge.

Heehee. Arvid.
