Yup, I’ve known a Kenya, a Lesotho, and a Latierra (the Earth in Spanish).

Latierra
If I had to bully her I’d call her Latrine

I understand naming a kid after a city or region/state but a country seems a little far.

I also had a coworker named America and I’m pretty sure her parents were immigrants - English was pretty clearly not my coworker’s first language. I think it works for her situation. (Funny enough, it was her reckless behavior that caused me to spend my last few weeks at that job on light duty…)
There’s also America Ferrera, I don’t think the name is that weird.
