I met a woman today named "Creola". I'm betting that you'll only find that in Louisiana. (She was nice, by the way. I'm not making fun of her, I just found it interesting.)
I also met an Orangejello, (pronounced O'Rongelo). No, just kidding. I'm pretty sure that's an urban myth. BUT, my mom, who works in a labor and delivery ward, told me that a patient overheard the doctor say a word that she thought was pretty, so she named her child that.
It was Placenta.
No joke.
How bout that? I've never heard of anyone named Placenta before. I've heard the one about Lemonjello and Orangejello before. Everyone talks about it as if it's real, but I suspect you're right about it being urban myth.
