Parents-to-be, please do not inflict untold suffering, teasing, and limitations by giving your children unfortunate names. Yes, this is a real name from areal person who called today.
Today's tip on names to avoid is: Do not name your child after a window treatment.
The name: Shade - counter-intuitively, the pronunciation is: Sha-Day.
Just don't.

I had a friend who was a prosecutor. She had a three-page list of weird names of frequent fliers. One was "Fallen Shoe".
I was in a child abuse/neglect case. They had three kids. For shits and grins, they appended a silent "X" to the first kid's name, a silent "Y" to the second kid's name and a "Z" to the third kid's name. It was hard not to recommend removal just on general principles.
Lemongelo and Orangelo are still the winners... Sigh...
