In the past, we have had a student named, are you ready for this, Lettice Haver. Prounounced Leteece Hay-ver...but still! Of course, the big joke was to call her "Let us have her".

I guess that's my two cents.

[Ozone]

I knew a guy who's name was Forest. I know Forest isn't that unusual of a name, but his brother's name was Cedar, and their dog's name was Juniper. His mom was a tree hugger.

Just the other day I talked to a guy by the name of Sandy Peter. I wondered if "Sandy" was a name or an adjective...

My sister went to school with a girl named Emerald Green, who, btw, had a sister named Jade. Another girl in her school was Jessica (Jessy) James.

[matt_mcl]

Perhaps we should stick to punning names, not just ...interesting ones.

[rackensack]

My favorite locally is Phenus Head. Feel free to confirm this for yourself in any of the online phone directories (search for first name = "p", last name = "head" in the Atlanta, GA area).

[struuter]

It had to happen sooner or later...
I actually have one of those odd names. Married into it, actually. Makes naming kids very hard. My last name is an adjective (and a funny on at that) and we made the mistake of paying more attention to picking a good first name than listening to the whole thing together. Consequently, my kids all have middle names that start with either 'B' or 'M'. Yeah. So that means their names read as sentences--and ungrammatical ones too: I won't give you their real names, but here's an example--
Fred B. Large or Sally M. Crooked.
I asked my son if he thought it was child abuse and he said he liked his name. What a great kid.

My eye doctor was named Dr. Reader. My grampa knew a guy named Harry Rump. Knew a family who's last name was Jacobi. Almost named their son Obi Wan.

My mom tells me that when she was a teenager, a popular joke to play on friends was to hand them the local phone book, telling them the proper page and how many names down the column to count, and telling them to "Look and see what Richard Burton gave Elizabeth Taylor for her birthday."

The unfortunate target name?

Hiscock.

Pebs

Couldn't tell ya'...he was an author of an article in a reading list I had to type up for a Prosthodontics literature review. The journal it was published in only gave the last name and initials, so I don't even know what his first name was.

I thought of a couple more...back in the Dental Department, a fellow secretary had to correspond with a family named Dastrange (Da Strange? Something like that), which was funny enough, until a week later, I was working in another department and came upon a person named Deweird. I almost fell off my chair giggling...

[DAVEW0071]

My wife knew a girl in high school named Sandy Claus. Her name wasn't Sandra or anything. Her parents actually named her Sandy.

I also heard of a family last name of Green. They named one kid Forrest, one kid Kelly....Parents can be so cruel.

[cher3]

There was a Kelly Kelly at my high school. I suppose her parents figured she would get married someday, that hardly seems an excuse for 20 or 30 years of ragging.

[Eo Echo]

I've heard of people named Orangejello (Or-ON-jillo), Lemonjello (lem-ON-jillo) and Shithead (Sha-TEE-ad)(now that's tortured pronunciation). My all time fave: a prostitute named Sandra Goodhead.

My cousin encountered a woman who named her child (pronounced) PAH-jah-mah Chiquita. Melissa said, "How do you spell the first name?" and the woman said, "P-A-J-A-M-A-S." Turns out she saw it in a Sears catalogue and thought it was pretty.

I knew a girl named Dainty Peach Ceurvos (sounds like a tequila flavor to me!) and another named Champagne Love.

[obfusciatrist]

My sister's third grade teacher was Richard Dick.

[Brea]

I knew a girl in high school with the name of Chanda Leier (pronounced Shanda- Leer), and my husband used to work with a guy named Richard Beeter. He actually preferred to be called "Dick".

Best friend dated a guy who's dad's name was Harry Butts, and my daughter's first crush was on a boy by the name of Barry Dick. He was Barry Dick III- with Barry, Sr. and Barry, Jr. being his grandfather and father. How's that for a family tradition?

My ex-husband went to infantry training school with a man named Terry Brown, who'd married another Army officer named Terry (she took his surname). Same middle initial, both lieutenants, even. Apparently Mr. Brown said it made check-writing easy (either could sign the check).

A good friend of mine is named Phillip Ip. He goes by Phil. Phil Ip. When he used to leave messages for me at work, the person taking the message would give me a strange look and ask me if my friend Phil was "slow". ("Hi. This is Phil...Ip")

No kidding. I once asked Phil why his folks named them that, and he said he never had the heart to ask.

Another co-worker, last name of Dobbs, wants to name his son Calvin Norman. Calvin N. Dobbs. I'm trying to talk him out of it.
