Student names that really exist in my local area: "L-A" (pronounced "Elldashah") and Hazmat (shortened to Mat). Not had a Bobby Tables yet, but getting that dash into Eldashahs name was a difficult task, I am told.
I've heard so many claims of Ladasha and Elldasha, along with reports of Lamonjalo and Orangelo. I'd expect them to be more prevalent with so many people reporting they know one.
To be fair, Gaylord is an actual name that exists, and yet, you probably don't know any.
