There are plenty of these kinds of things when you live in a foreign land. Hong Kong has many, but one of my favorites is the Tak Kee Hat Company on Lantau Island.

I grew up with a Penny Nickel. One of my wife's best friends had a maiden name of Kandy Christmas. Her sister is named Carol.
Also, when I first started ice climbing, I used a French-made boot called La Phoques, named after the manufacturer. They were state of the art at the time, with a fiberglass midsole that supported rigid crampons well and, of course, made for great edging, and had a rubber cover over the laces to keep wetness and ice out.
"Phoque" is French for seal. Unfortunately, in French, "oque" is pronounced the way we pronounce "uck" in English.

Nancy-Anne Seancy: friend of a friend.
Melissa Sippi was a friend of my sis growing up. Naturally, she went by "Missy"
I heard of an English fellow named Orson Cart that successfully sued his parents. No idea if that one's true or not.
