There were a couple of books, now out of print IINM, by John Train titled: Remarkable names, more remarkable names and even more remarkable names. (OK that's a few and not a couple) the names were gleaned from phone books, hospital records, etc.

A number of 'infant male' and 'infant females' kept their names into adulthood. This is apparently the name you get when you can't decide, yet it is time to vacate your room at the hospital.
