Odd Names You've Encountered - Page 3

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.

I had a boss named Bunny Beamsderfer about 10 years ago. Her real name was actually Bunny.

My sister went to school with a girl named True Love.

And Virginia Tech's QB is named after a car part, Tyrod.

I used to work with a guy whose name was Dick Outhouse.
Yep.

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

Everyone at our table lost it and started laughing.

I know a Tab, he says when people ask his name it usually goes like this

Whats your Name
Tab
*silence* like the drink?

I have an uncle named Russell Dickey. He has gone by Rusty most of his life. I ask him why he does that to himself and he just shrugs and says that I'm the only person who ever mentions it.

All the power to you, Unc!

I worked with a gentleman whose name was Andrew Liss, his father's name was Dick. Honestly!

bobarian · 09-21-2009, 06:29 PM

When I was a kid, a guy around the corner from my house was named Rusty Weil!

itsme_timd · 09-21-2009, 09:16 PM

There's a guy that works for my company and his birth certificate was mistyped so his first name is "Male"... true story! I thought he was joking until I got his DL and SS card for ID!

I went to high school with a girl named (I know I'm spelling this wrong) Gabriellashepleshette. She REFUSED to go by Gabriel or Gabby, apparently the name had religious signifance.

akumushi · 09-21-2009, 10:09 PM

I met some D-bag at a party once who apparently had some kind of existential crisis in his twenties and legally changed his name to Just A Name.

As for tacky names that people were given at birth, my fiancee's friend just had a son and she named him Vanderlei Jedi Gonzalez.
