Knew a pair of hippies when I was at uni who had done a tour of the Far East that included Mongolia.

They had a son they called Ghengis.

Their surname was McCann. So he was Ghengis McCann!

Apparently on his first day at primary school his teacher asked how his name was pronounced and he replied "Stephen!" Smart kid!

Not sure about hippies but I did work with a Professor Flowers of Botany and also a Doctor Stone in Geology.
