First off, if you haven’t been following the ongoing coverage of the bizarre names list, please click here to go back and get re-acquainted with a list of the weirdest names of real people in the known universe.
I made a new friend last weekend, and she was kind enough to give me FOUR names to add to the list right off the top of her head, which makes her the coolest new person I’ve met in a long, long while. Brace yourself for the latest additions to the Groovy Schwartzman list.
1. Gathering Flowers. Yep, real name of a real person. In fact, real name of a real person who’s probably going to email me and be all "Hey Lori, why am I on your blog? Sincerely, Gathering Flowers."
2. Rhythm Xander. This one is harsh, because you know no one knows how to spell "rhythm" without spell check.
3. Phoenix Eden Harmony. Sweet, but this name might still put you at a disadvantage in a job-interview scenario, if we’re to believe Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point theory on names pre-disposing the interviewer. Also, Phoenix Eden Harmony probably smells like nag champa, my favorite new term of the week.
4. Tidimdia. Didn’t catch the last name, but Tidimdia is a great onomonopeaic name, like the sound a drum makes when you’re playing it…IN A DRUM CIRCLE AT THE GRATEFUL DEAD. "Yo, Tidimdia…don’t bogart that joint." Yep, that works.
By the way, since the original post I have gotten alot of emails from people who claim to know Groovy Nipples Schwartzman and her groovy family, which apparently also contains a person named Strawberry Cheesecake. I believe these are real people, but I don’t actually know them, so you’re not going to have any luck contacting them through me, even if you did go to high school with Groovy and haven’t talked to her in a long time. Sorry!
