Oxymoronic Names, Built-in Contradictions

I'm thinking about names with built-in contradictions... Oxymoronic names.

Demi Moore comes to mind. What other names have built-in contradictions? (e.g. a made up name "M. T. Fuller.") Are there logic bombs such as arise in self-referential statements (e.g. "This statement is false.")

  1. Here in Australia I have found a couple of place names: Crookwell ( We Aussies use the slang term "crook" for being ill or broken.)
    And also Steeple Flat
