This list of competitors from a rodeo in Utah contains the most gloriously strange American names ever
When it comes to naming their children, parents in the USA have a certain flair for originality/outright craziness. (Delete as appropriate)
Some examples which immediately come to mind are Newt Gingrich, Todger Strunk, Rip Torn and River Phoenix.
So it’s a delight to see this following list of names of competitors from a children’s rodeo in Utah, which contains some of the wildest American names we’ve seen – and all in one place!
We can only imagine how difficult it must be for these kids to find a personalised mug in a gift shop.
Here’s the list, as shared by Blockhead on Twitter/X.

So many too choose from! Cash Sweat! Raygun Steele! Cutter Sagers!
We’ll now have our customary rummage among the comments, but first we’ll have a look at the equally wonderful girls names…

Ryler and Tuckyn came out with an early lead there but then got obliterated in the home stretch by RAYGUN.

Looks like someone hit two keys at once inputting the birth record and nobody corrected it.

Hang on the first part is the surname? So Thomas Tibbs (nice normal name) is actually called Tibbs Thomas (named after his cat)????
