Billy Strange, a musician...

...who, among other things, arranged Nancy Sinatra's No. 1 hit "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'," died at age 81.

Strange would be notable for that fact alone, but I'm also intrigued by his unusual surname. It reminds me of another famous person with a similar name, Robert Strange McNamara, below.

That had to be a little awkward sometimes, don't you think?

"What's yer middle name, kid?"

"Strange."
