real life fun the world of names
 

today, I had to remove a user from our system.

Her name: Patty Beaver.

My dad has a friend named Richard Head. Doesn't take much to figure that one out...

And while flipping through my sister's wedding invitations, I came across this invitation, for a friend of the groom's father: Dr. Michael Dockter.

There's a Bruce Wayne and a Stephen King at my office.

We seem to go through this type of thread once every few months.

We had a Enlgish teacher in high school named Richard Weed. And he went by Dick.

I went to high school with a guy named Flavy Dick...no it wasn't a nickname. Also, there was a very large breasted young lady in the same school named Honei Cowell.

I played baseball with a guy named Michael Hunt. Good times when he didn't show up at ball camp (about 300 people) and they did roll call during stretches.

Best part was the head instructor didn't get why we were all laughing, one of the other instructors had to come over and tell him what was going on.

Then we ran laps.

Lots and lots of laps.

If I was his parents, I would have named him Formidable.

We have a long time analyst named Patty Hamburger.

I went to HS with a guy whose dad was named Rusty Junk.

I went to high school with a Mike Hunt as well...good times...

My dad went to school with a guy named Forrest Corn

I work for an organization that has members, and one of our members names is Anita Dick.

No joke...

Yes it is.

There was a kid in our school system (8 years behind me or so) named Forest Ever Green.

I worked with a guy who's name was Xialong Wang.. but he told everyone to call him Long.

A friend of mine once worked a temp job entering the names of newborns into an insurance database. One name jumped out. Apparently the mom named her daughter after her two favorite things in life:

Marijuana Pepsi Jones

I had an English prof (my favorite in college by the way) whose name was Dr. Daniel Strait. Dan Strait! That one never got old. ;)

I also know this guy named Trevor Mooseout...

Inside joke that not many would probably get...

But I know you do, Travis...

:p

We had an electrical engineering professor named K. W. Current.

No joke, this is an excerpt of an email seminar announcement we received about a month ago...

"Dr Butt is in town for a meeting at NIH and would like to come and talk to our group about his expression system."

As I told my gf, "Personally, I'm not sure I'd like to hear about the Butt expression system." :)

There's a guy in my class at school with the best name I've ever seen.

Sataporn Pornpromlikit.

I kid you not.

I worked with a guy named Phat Phuc.

At my high school, the ROTC guys were Major Wood and Colonel Cox.

I went to school with a guy named Cocaine, and his sister's name was Marijuana. That boy was a hell of a baseball player til he got into drugs.

The High School class president the year after I graduated was Long Duong.

And one of my best buddies is Brett Stiff.

My high school's valedictorian (two years my senior) was Alaka Holla.

My real name is Anus McAnus, but don't tell anyone...

When I was working retail in my college days, I was taking a check from a woman named Pamela Wacker, which fin until I saw her husband's name on the check: yep, Richard.

I started to laugh, so I bent down behind the counter acting as though I was trying to find a bag for her. It took me a good minute to find the bag.

Not quite what you're looking for, but on the subject of unfortunate names Ottawa is currently promoting a wonderful tourist attraction for the whole family featuring flowers from Australia: yep, Tulips Down Under.

Shorty, there used to be a heckuva high school football player here in Oklahoma City with the name Cocaine. I guess Cocaine is a boy's name, Marijuana is a girl's name.

Marijuana = Mary Jane

Cocaine = Cocky and Funny (or Kyle too)

Makes total sense, see...

I once knew a guy named Joe Pants. Damnedest thing, that guy always wore pants.


In a town close to where I live there was a girl born not to long ago given the name of Shithead, pronounced Shee-teed.

Heh, just thought of another good one. A few years back, I had a gf from Spain and we were at the point where we were going to start dating other people. She finally called one day and let me know she was seeing someone. I was somewhat hurt as I still had some feelings for her but asked what his name is. She replied..."Anass". I think I was a bit stunned for a sec, but then asked if it was really spelled..."Yes". Another bit of silence. She finally asks "What?" "Oh, nothing."
Needless to say, I told a good friend of mine and he couldn't stop laughing for about five minutes. Then we started with all the jokes. "She left you for Anass!" Good fun, we still joke about it.

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH

Holy Crap QS...i thouhgt I was the only Thompson twins fan.:D

went to school with a guy named Nick Knick

This isn't a person's name, but there's a company in town called "Fuch's Lubricants".

There's a Slovenian basketball plaer named Gregor Fucka. He last name is pronounced "Fooshka" but it's still kinda shocking to see his name in print....

I dated a girl in college called Misty Peak.

I wanted to take her to Big Bone Lick (Kentucky), but she wanted to go to Gnaw Bone (Indiana).

Yeah, I live amongst hicks.

ive got a teacher named mekeal harderschlong...Mr. Harderschlong...we never get tired of that one...we all voted him for most popular teacher just to get to see the mayor announce his name as class teacher at graduation and wonder whats up!

Still can't get over Jim G's nephew (Noah Rexin) -- bittersweet for the obvious reasons.

My dad used to work with a guy named Russell Dick -- went by "Rusty." When Rusty was a kid the school bus driver used to call him, his little brother, and little sister, Big Dick, Little Dick, and No Dick. :)

I knew a guy once who was named Richard Burn

don't know why you addressed me Cam (obsession?), I didn't make any posts in this thread until now.. :)

I knew a girl named Fonda Cox

Michael: Yeah, well, at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.

Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.

Michael: There WAS nothing wrong with it. Until I was about 12 years old, and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

Samir: Well, why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?.

Michael: No way! Why should I change? He's the one who sucks!
