Funny Name

[R. Richard]

Last night I was at a meeting, where a lady was reading a list of names. The last name on the list was, 'Mike Hunt' (say it fast.) The lady was embarrassed.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Yes, we have a friend by that name-- along with a lot of other Mikes, so we have to use last names-- and everyone has learned to stop dead between his first and last name.

Otherwise someone who wasn't listening will look up and ask; "Your whaat?

We have a similar situation with a friend's father who was given the nickname "Buster" back in the 1960s.

Buster Hyman definitely requires a certain enunciation.

A girl I went to high school with was named Edith Mycock.

Her parents will roast in Hell.

I read an article a couple of years ago about a girl who on her 18th b-day started the process to legally change her name.

her given name? Cherry Morehead.

Now to me she should have attended Morehead university where I wish I could have gone. That way she could be one of those girls at the game chanting "morehead!)

Somewhere the founder is laughing their ass off.

That college sounds like a good fit for her. I bet she would have graduated cum laude.

Majoring in oral communication of course.

Mini Teeters was in junior high with me.
Stormy Batey and a sister named Sunny and a father named Mr. Batey but all the kids called him Master.

At my son's school, they have Officer Dick Majorsack. The kids actually do get bored with that one after a few years.

Or Bioeconomics. Both are good.

There was an older lady a few blocks over named Fonda Cox.

Yeah, they got prank called a lot.

Is your wife Fonda Cox? Yes. You lucky bastard! God damned kids!

Now playing Right Field for the Chicago Cubs is a chap named Kosuke Fukudome.

Seriously. Look it up.

I knew an older black woman whose mother named her "Cleatorius."

Another weird thing in the neighborhood is a woman who named her 3 daughters, Kristen, Kirsten, and Christine

Former heavyweight champion/grill master George Forman named all five of his sons George. He also has a daughter named Georgette, and another daughter whose middle name is George. His remaining 3 daughters were not so georgeously blessed.

Edward Gibbon, 1737- 1794 the historian (Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) was christened Edward as were his five brothers. The other five and a sister all died in infancy almost certainly due to neglect by his mother. Edward 6 only survived because he was farmed out to an aunt to be brought up.

I went to school with a boy named after his grandfathers, John and Cecil. His surname was Pitt and there are no prizes for guessing which of his forenames was always used in abbreviated form.

In my home town there was a Urologist named Richard Finder ... he preferred not to be called Dick ... I knew a guy named Richard Stalker once ... he preferred not to be called Dick either... I've seen listings in medical office buildings for a Gynecologist named Finger and a Proctologist named Butts.

I went to high school with Robin Hood and to college with Scarlett O'Hara.

In the San Diego phone book there was a lisiting for, 'Jack Meoff.' There's still a CA listing for Jack Meoff.

I once had a customer named Delicious Peters. I would not have believed him, but that was the name on his checks and drivers license. He didn't seem to mind. It would have been too easy to tell everyone his name was Del.

I wonder if Nolan Void ever has problem cashing his paychecks.

I remember seeing a little van with

"A. Kill, Butcher"​

on the side.
