Interesting names I've met:

There is a watch captain with Security at North Anna Power Station named "Benard Fife". Lovely sens of humor, he wears a button that reads, "Yes, I have the bullet today". If you are too young to remember The Andy Griffith show, set your Tivo to a few episodes on Nick at Night

One year when I taught school in the late 80's there was a James Hendricks (Jimmy) and a girl (homecoming queen I might add) who got saddled with the moniker of Marijuana Brockington.

She went by Mary Jane.

One friend of me over here has the surname Cockwell [8|] and back home I know someone whose name translated would be piglet

I was a teachers aide my senior year in high school.  The teacher I was helping had a guy in her class named Rusty Browne.  I have met a chick named Cindle Ellis, and hung out with a chick named Holly Woode (she never heard the end of it.)

With my own birth name, I get a ton of crap because its quite similar to a female country singer but my first name is pronounced slightly different than hers.

I once worked for a retail store credit dept and used to get calls from a Mr Livshit who sounded exactly like Elmer Fudd.  Took everything I had not to burst out laughing everytime I had to take a call from him.

And my first and last name have a few permutations to be totally taken out of context.  I once received a cut-up credit card addressed to "lawnchair plancher" when I had taken the time to spell first and last name to the sales clerk.  Took awhile to live that one down in the auth dept.

Oh lord! How could we forget that Canadian chap with the unfortunate last name who none-the less overcame (or perhaps because of) it to become one one of the greatest singer/song writers and guitar players of all time?

Truthfully? I don't buy his pronunciation of his last name (school must have been hell for him)... but I am willing to let it go because the music is so good.



Kana -> RE: Stupid Names (2/10/2011 6:33:35 AM)

I knew a gal in HS named Penny Haypenny. Her parents must have hated her, that's all I can think.

Also, once upon a time I dated a girl named cigarette...and yes, she was smoking!

Was it 'Coe-burn'? If so, there was some sherry or spirit for sale in the UK at one time that was called 'Cockburn's' but pronounced 'coe-burn's'.

Yes, it's pronounced co-burn. Can you blame him? Can you blame the makers of the sherry? I mean... would you drink something called "cock burn?"

"Here ya go, Marc. Have some cock burn."

"Uhm... no thanks... I'll pass."

Manager of the apartment building next door is Kevin Bacon.  Gay man, he collects pig items, especially two pigs going at it and better if labeled "Makin' Bacon."  So, I always win "Degrees of Separation." LOL!      



OttersSwim -> RE: Stupid Names (2/10/2011 7:00:24 AM)

I worked at a restaurant with a girl named "Zelda Glockenspock"

I read part of a really bad porn novel by an author named "Manly Bannister"



LanceHughes -> RE: Stupid Names (2/10/2011 7:36:35 AM)

There's a spoof book out called "Physical Interrogation Techniques" by Richard Krousher.  It's got nothing to do with interrogation.  Should really be titled "How to Hurt a Man Without Killing Him."  Written by Guy Baldwin, it regulary sells (Amazon, eBay, etc.) for upwards of $50.
 
Oh.... funny name?  "Dick Crusher" wrote the book.  Get it?            



xelinda -> RE: Stupid Names (2/10/2011 8:57:07 AM)

At the university where I went, there was a professor named Richard Face, and yes, he went by "Dick". I never took any of his classes, but I had been told by others that he addressed that little fact the very first class of every semester.

In addition, we had a surgeon in town whose sur name was Hacker. Kinda of scarey going in for surgery with Dr. Hacker attending....




Arpig -> RE: Stupid Names (2/10/2011 10:42:20 AM)

Years ago on the Island of Grand Manaan (off the coast of New Brunswick near Campobello of FDR fame) there was an undertaker named Coughin, but wait it gets better.....his wife's name was Iona Velvet[:D]

My daughter has a classmate named Schlossmocker..not funny like the others on here, but unfortunate all the same.
