I used to work with a guy named “Stewart” and whose last name started with “Hit…” They decided in his case to make an exception about company e-mail addresses being “first initial + last name”. Good thing, too. ---

In the same vein, I used to work with a Senior Airman when I was in the military. Her name? Andrea Nuss. And yes, we did give her crap about it. 😃 Adam ---

Kind of along this line… Where I work, they write your name on the schedule as your full first name and the last three letters of your last name. For example, I’m Amy Eri. Poor Nicole Pool. I cracked up every time I saw her name on the schedule. Too bad she quit :(. ---

People had been calling me “Stoner” since before I even knew what it meant(kinda comes with that last name), so it didn’t phase me, but imagine what the people who weren’t in on the joke must have thought? ---

A company where I worked (name started with All…) had a naming convention that rendered David Turner as ALLTURD. He was proud of it. One day he had a problem with his luserid and we were discussing how to fix it. My manager called me into his office and counselled me on using offensive language. ---

I went to school with a true, honest to god Anita Dick. Dick is a very common last name in my area. As if the name Anita Dick wasn’t bad enough, her school card read, of course: A Dick. In elementary school, people laughed harder at her cousin Pam, P Dick. Or later, in high school, when another family member arrived: Brenna Dick. Because there was another B Dick around, she had to use her middle initial: B. A. Dick. Poor kids. (All first names except Anita have been changed, except for the initials. Not likely that you’d find anything besides porn if you tried to find their real names, but still. As for Anita, good friggin’ luck). ---

First: When I greaw up in Quebec, we had province-wide tests in the last 2 years of high school, call “Matrics.” Every student was assigned a code, starting with the first 3 letters of your last name, followed by the first letter of your first name, then birthdate, etc. I was stuck with “Rubs” on all my tests and correspondance from the government, but I still considered myself lucky. There was a guy a couple of years ahead of me named Kenny Fuches… Second: One of the guys at work was taking around a new employee, to introduce him to everyone. He got to one woman’s desk, paused, shook his head and said, “Guys, I’m not lying to you, here. Ken Allcock, I’d like you to meet Sharon Swallowell.” Third: I don’t personally know the individual involved at this story, nor do I remember the company name - let’s call it Acme Corp. The convension was first letter of first name, follwed by last name. The guy was Harry Ellis. His e-mail address, which may or may not have expressed his opinion, was [Hellis@acmecorp.com](mailto:Hellis@acmecorp.com). ---

Some of these email addresses must be so traumatic to their owners that they may need to consult their [analyst and therapist](http://the-op.com/media/image2.php?ep=303&i=8855&cat=6200). ---

He got to one woman’s desk, paused, shook his head and said, “Guys, I’m not lying to you, here. Ken Allcock, I’d like you to meet Sharon Swallowell.” We should do whatever we possibly can to get them together. The general worldwide mirth generated from the wedding announcement alone would easily counteract the negative aspects of a few small wars. These all pale in comparison to my only encounter with a corporate naming scheme. It was firstname lastinitial, but when Christopher Tucker started working there, it was determined that it wasn’t a good idea to have a user name christ. ---

The president of EWC, a company I used to work for (the magnetics division that employed me was closed down, but the controls division still runs) is named Christ. I kid you not, his name is actually [Christ Hiotis](http://www.ewccontrols.com/presidents_message.htm). Heh.
