It's not the worst thing I've ever heard.
My great-uncle suggested my mother name me
Royal after him (he was named
Rocco but called
Roy). Quite happy she didn't go with that. :-P
I personally have met a man whose name is
Royal Highness. No kidding!
"Do you know how a man makes his way here? By brilliance of genius or the cunning use of corruption.
You must cut a path through this mess of men like a cannon-ball, or creep among them like a pestilence."
Balzac
