I worked with a young man by the name of Kavon Rad. He was a :wally but his name was the coolest I had ever heard.
Friend of mine had a dog he named “Y D”
One day I was with him at the animal hospital the vet asked what the name of his dog was and my friend said, “Y D”, but the vet wrote down “Whitey”. (Confusion over the dog’s name happened all the time. The dog was white.)
My friend said, "No,no! Its the initials Y and D. The vet asked what they stood for and my friend told him, “Young Dummy”. (Which is really what the stand for).
Coolest name for a dog I have ever heard of.
There is or was an Air Force meteorologist (who would provide weather forecasts for Space Shuttle launches and the like) named Captain Tom Strange.
I used to crack up when I saw RAdm. John Stufflebeem delivering Defense Department press briefings.
There were some people in a local election, and their ticket was “Singer, Malone, and Dancer.”
And then there was the Green Party candidate for Senate: Earl Grey.
I took a class with a girl named Fielding Jezreel.
Fielding Jezreel! How great is that?
My sister-in-law’s maiden name was Pitt. Our family name is Bull.
Suffice to say, they decided not to double-barrel their names…
There was a radio announcer in San Diego whose real name was Mike Boss.
I knew him in his earlier days. When he was playing music he called himself “The Bossman.”
I know a fair number or people with cool names, but I’m not sure I feel comfortable posting them online, especially without their permission.
I did have a class with Marques Tuiasosopo, a football player for UW at the time (now I think he is with the Raiders).
Phil LeMunyan - my great-grandfather (sounds sorta like “filet mignon” if pronounced correctly)
Superman - the real first name given to a guy I met in college. He goes by that name as well. (and I don’t blame him 
)
Candy Bar - someone my mother knows.
Lolly Pop - friend of a friend
Hogjaw Twaddle - name I once saw in the phone book. However, the name has not appeared in recent years.
Golden Kuntz - this name is still curre the phonebook in my hometown. I hope that surname is pronounced like “Koontz.”
Rusty Boner - father of a guy who attended my high school. Perhaps this name is on the other end of the spectrum.
Fuqan Yang - college professor. I mentioned him in this thread (post #6)
Went to school in year 7 with a girl named Lescelle Dippelle.
She pronounced her last name to rhyme with “Nipple” 
Maori names are generally cool but I knew a kid a few years ago called Takiwairua Taurima, it just rolled off the tongue so well.
I knew a young Army captain with the name John Carter. A name like that does not happen by accident.
I still think it is way cool.
Of course “James Bond” the character was named after James Bond the man, the James Autobahn of the Caribbean. Ian Flemming thought it was the most bland name possible. The real James Bond loved it. He spent the rest of his life going “Bond, James Bond” to hotel clerks.
I just had a recovered memory of a girl I knew in school last-named Fangboner! She was one of those gals who had a face like a bootheel but a dynamite wacky sense of humor and was pretty popular. I asked her how to pronounce it. She said, “There’s no good way. Just like it sounds.”
…er, “looks.” :smack:
I’ve known a Polly Patch and a Guiselle Crow. The latter went by Jelly Crow.
Also knew a Jack Horner once upon a time.
I went to high school with a girl named Mary Christmas. We hung around in different circles, so I never actually met her (it was a pretty big school). I think she had a brother named Noel, but I could be mistaken.
The boyfriend’s dad’s first name is “Stevenson.” He goes by “Steve.”
Somehow the boyfriend’s middle name (that is also a family name) is “Clyde.”
I had a neighbor named Vagina Hickey.
I saw the name “William Swallow”. Wonder if he goes by Will or Willy?
