      I give you this little tidbit from wikipedia I read yesterday:

      According to Musk and Grimes, his name was “X Æ A-12” (/ɛks æʃ eɪ ˈtwɛlv/); however, the name would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet,[476][477] and was then changed to “X Æ A-Xii”. This drew more confusion, as Æ is not a letter in the modern English alphabet.[478] The child was eventually named X AE A-XII Musk, with “X” as a first name, “AE A-XII” as a middle name, and “Musk” as surname.

      I found it funny.
