While we're on the topic of our own odd names mine is (odd in the US, not France):
Marcotte (paternal grandmothers maiden name)
Sharp (mother's maiden name)
Anderson (father's maiden name )

So I've got three last names for a name. Needless to say, I got teased a hell of a lot in middle school, but I always insist that people call me Marcotte. I only introduce myself as Marc if I don't want to go through something like....

"Hi, I'm Marcotte."
"Marc Ott? Are you related to the baseball player?"
"No, Marcotte, it's all one word."
"That's you're first name?"
"Yes"
"Marc- what?"
"Marcotte"
"Can I just call you Mark?"
"No. My name is Marcotte."
etc.

And of course all my junk mail is addressed to Ms. Marcotte and my freshman year of college, the dorm was confused because they thought they had an extra female to find a roommate for.
