My brother named his son John Mark, which isn't that weird, but the most Alabama name ever. Edit: I think it had to do with Gene Stallings son. He's a huge Bama fan. My family is weird - it's either Clemson, Bama or the one Auburn grad.
“Grandpa Rollin, what’s your name mean?” Well kids, back when I was born we had to put liquid from the ground into our cars to make them go. Weird, right? Anyway, my dad was a complete asshat whose favorite activity (aside from hitting my mom) was pulling his big truck up near people he didn’t like the look of and making it spit out thick black smoke for no reason at all.
I once had dinner at a friend of a friends house. Their kid was named Jumper. I thought they were talking about their dog for like the first half hour I was there
Or Western Civilization as a whole... I get mocking the reasoning (even though John Mark Stallings was awesome), but that’s not at all a “weird” name in the spirit of the thread.
I associate John Mark with John Mark Karr, the guy who falsely confessed to killing Jonbenet Ramsey. That’s a problem in itself, but it’s otherwise a traditional, biblical name.
I’ve seen a ton of John Mark personalized key chain license plates to know it’s a pretty common name.
