Zaphod

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: British

Meaning: Clever; President of the Galaxy

Most commonly known as Zaphod Beeblebrox, this name has nerd culture associations until the cows come home! Described as "clever, imaginative, irresponsible, untrustworthy, extrovert, nothing you could have guessed," this name will do all the boasting for baby throughout life. His character is President of the Galaxy in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which sounds fanciful but for those who've read the 'trilogy' there is more—and also less, probably—that makes up the job description than meets the eye.
