Creating a Custom Name List
Hegelian:
In my current work I deal with lists of names of personnel at hospitals, clinics, and university research centers worldwide, so I see a lot of interesting real names. I'm not particularly interested in "humorous" or bizarre names (although "Speener Hose" did strike me as both odd and humorous--but not because I could (mis)read it as vulgar or suggestive). Some of the names I've run across that find interesting are:
Juner Colina Mallie Taylor Malou RosmanBritta Bunselmayer Carolina Hevia Kajsa SilfverstrandJanne Björkander Fausto Berti Lola BalletBegoña Uriarte Carlos Mendez Mendez Fernando BustoYordak Salermo Maria Mejia Kimbi OvertonAlexia Flamarion Gwenaelle Clavier Jacynthe Touchette
Since these are real names, I hope none of these folks are offended if they happen for some reason to see their names here. I'm not poking fun; I just think they're interesting or have a nice sound to them.
(I figured out how to make a table!)

The best I've got is probably Cassaboom. Maybe Prickett.
There were Cosabooms and Pricketts in the small town where I grew up, in southern New Jersey.

I have actually spoken to a Crystal Ball. Also someone whose surname was Vander Vlught, which aside from having to spell it constantly is pretty awesome. (And I have to spell MY name constantly anyway, because it's also unusual. Although nowadays there's a famous athlete whose surname sounds like mine, so instead of "huh?" I get "like the football player?" and then I correct their spelling.)

I think that Baby Names book is lying to you. Björn is not a forbidden name in Norway. In Sweden some parents sometimes have problems getting brand new names with meanings approved, or using familynames as first names. Cant name a little swede Svensson as first name, hehe.
All countries of course has names that sound funny in other languages, in Sweden we have a range of old Swedish female names of this kind: Britt, Gerd, Gun, ect. And I know a Norwegian family with two sons that had some problems when they lived for a couple of years in the US: their names were Odd and Bent :P
Interesting with the female last names - so the list equivalent Petrov/Petrova, so that a daughter of Petrov gets the name Petrova? I have some Russian families in my game and this could be a nice thingie..
(Jordi, I love your live-mod :D)

My boyfriend works with someone named Helga Helmet.
