A few decades ago, a family allowed their son and daughter to select their own names. The son, who was eight or nine years old at the time (accounts differ), chose the name Loki Skylizard. You have to admit that’s an awesome name, and many nine-year-olds would have done much worse. Skylizard kept that name ever since, all the way through medical school. Dr. Skylizard is now a prominent cardiac and thoracic surgeon in Missouri. He does not mention the origin of his name in his biography.
Dr. Loki Skylizard was a #1 seed in the 2014 Name of the Year tournament, but he was defeated by Shamus Beaglehole. -via reddit

I wanted to name a son Bruce Wayne, but my wife said no.
