Scholastika. Real name in Slovakia. I have never ever met anyone of that name. I am still waiting for brothers Nihilizmus and Solipsizmus.

I was doing payroll recently for my work, and came across Harsh Harsh. I had to ask our HR lady, really? His last name was Harsh and his parents named him Harsh?

Well, no. She said his name was simply Harsh but our system required a last name so she repeated it.

Still, pretty harsh I think.

My grandfather in law only had one name. When they immigrated, they made his first name "XXX".

One time someone asked him "like the movie?"

I met a soldier who's last name was too long to fit on a nametape. They asked if he could shorten it and he chose X instead. iirc he was Indonesian or Thai...
