A guy an appraiser at work deals with has the last name BUTTS. His email starts as C.BUTTS....... Let's just say no one said anything and once I pointed it out we had a field day with the poor guys name.
If your last name was "Kent" would you even consider naming your son "Clark"? (Hmm: David Coulthard wearing the cape at Monaco really highlighted the "DC Comics" aspect. ) Other names to look up in your phone book: Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne, Adam Canfield, Peter Joshua, Alexander Dyle, Brian Krookshank, James Kirk, Alex Hamilton, Jimmy Bond, ... And the classics: Patty O'Furniture, Lane MacAdam, Wally Paper, ... Kids (of all ages) can make fun of any name.
I went to Jr High with a Tim Dick...full name Tim Allen Dick...stage name...Tim Allen...(yep...the TOOL MAN himself)
My father knew a guy named Don Nutting. He asked the state for a personalized plate that said "D Nutting". He was turned down.
A Taiwanese-American associate, knowing of my interest in Ferraris, recently expressed surprise that another friend of his had named his son "Enzo". I explained that "Enzo", "Dino", "Mercedes", and "Porsche" are real people names, only later applied to cars. I'm surprised how many of the native born young people in the office didn't know that either. Remember that scene from "A Fish Called Wanda"? Now I can say, "been there". Next, I guess I'll have to explain that the London Underground isn't a political movement.
Her last name was Cox..............Her First name was Anita......................... Her parents should be shot............Anita Cox JJ
Their was a inventor guy from the 50s called Professor I am Nutts. They should name him "dick" or "numb" or "wing"
Since we're on this topic. I have a friend who has a neice. Last name Farda. That's bad enough, but her parents named her Tera! When she gets to grade school....Poor girl! I also knew two guys named Richard. One guys was Richard Head, and the other Richard Rash! Mr Head....he really was one! J
I knew a guy in high school named Harry Groth III. the name was strange enough, but the fact that people who had that name passed it down was amazing. You could name him Carr Nutt, Lock Nutt, Reddy Orr Nutt, the possibilities are endless...
My brother used to work with a Ralf Sitch, no-one took any notice until one day over the Tannoy they called ''Can R Sitch come to reception please'', his life was hell after that at work
no s*it?!?!?! I had a student in the military with the same name. What the hell were his parents thinking?
This thread reminds me of some book title jokes when I was a kid 'Wetting the bed' by I P Nightly, published by Rusty Bedsprings 'Running after the bus' by Willie Catchit 'Gay sex' by Ben Dover 'Don't fall backwards' by Eileen Forward
