What odd names of real people have you encountered? There's a lady who works in our HR department who's name is Bambi Bellflowers. Sounds like she should be a character on an Austin Powers movie. Yeah baby! :D

Also, I know of a guy who's name is Frank Warren. My name is Warren Frank.

I know of a kid... named "B1witme" yup.. that's his real first name.

Even funnier is that the computer system that this kid's name showed up in wasn't designed to include numbers in names, so the kid's name is "bonewithme"

I was watching an early episode of Intervention on A&E, and this particular episode was about a homosexual that used a lot of heroin. Anyway, after he decides to go to treatment, he gets to the treatment center and it is a specially designed treatment center for homosexuals. The director of said treatment center's name was Thomas Highcock. I thought that was pretty interesting considering the circumstances.... :-)

I almost forgot... I went to high school with a kid named Bud Wieser. I'm not sure if his real first name was really Bud, but that's what he always went by. He was kind of a screw up and was always getting called down to the office for one thing or another, and they announced his name over the intercom as Bud Wieser. They always put a big space between Bud and Wieser when they announced it. People that knew him said his father was a big joker, and they claimed it was his real name. I'll have to pull out my old year book and see if I can scan a pic or something.

There's a former restaurant owner in our town named Dick Grabber.

And, in my former hometown in Nebraska, there are several families named Fagot. I used to coffee with one of them. One morning, he came in and I yelled, "Hey, Fagot, come over here" so he'd come over and have coffee with us. I didn't think anything of it but the tourist family who had just sat down for breakfast got up and left:D Everyone at our table lost it and started laughing.

This one had me in stitches. Great thread here and just goes to show you that when you think your name might be just a bit strange, think what it could have been .

There was a guys name in S. Florida at a Publix Grocery Store whose first name was ABEER and his last name was Phoru. Some names are just funnier than others.

How about that one Senetor. Richard Santorum. I believe Santorum is the fluid produced by the "dark hole" during anal sex. That poor bastard is screwed.

It's made up.

From Wikipedia
"Santorum is a sexual neologism proposed by American humorist and sex-advice columnist Dan Savage in 2003 to "memorialize" then US Republican Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania due to the controversy over his statements on homosexuality. Savage asked his readers to submit new definitions for the term; the winning definition was "that frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex."


Similar to Favre.

This morning on the local morning news radio show, there was an interview with a woman about this (http://www.pauwau.com/) upcoming Native American festival in Powhatan. It was immediately followed by traffic & weather, reported by a guy named Redd Skinner.

I sh*t you not.

I knew someone in high school named Marvin Head. No, he wasn't a geeky, skinny guy either, but a big stoner with a bad attitude, so nobody made fun of HIS name! LOL! He's probably in prison now.

I had a student several years ago, if I can remember here is his name, Eekbyasyakinbiagalan. That was his first name, and asked that I just call him Bison, and I was fine with that.

I used to go to church with this guy,

I saw that and thought to myself... I sure hope he's an OBGYN... sure enough he is!
