Intriguingly, a Google search for Ramsbottom reveals that there was somebody named Fanny Jeffcock. I’ve seen a Hitchcock, I’ve seen a Babcock, but I never saw a Jeffcock…
Win! I love Bloom County!
Melvin Purvis is not a silly name.
Pervis Ellison (of the NBA), however, is.
Mike Cox is some big wig in Michigan.
He’s runnin’ for governor.

(No, not really)
For the record, Judge Billings Learned Hand wend predominatly by his middle name and surname, while Sen./Sec. William Gibbs McAdoo nearly always used his full name. AFAIK the other four are right on target.
There are also Cotton and Increase Mather, among others.
My favorite is the wife of Provanence, Rhode Island’s mayor Buddy Cianci, Nancy Anne Cianci.
Not hilarious, but I always found it amusing that there was a BASEball player named Al Kaline.
The problem, of course, is that he was an outfielder. Now, if he’d been in the battery…! 
Former Tennessee Volunteer backup quarterback Jim Bob Cooter.
Mr. Cooter has been in the news recently too. “The warrant says Cooter climbed through woman’s window on Franklin Station Way, stripped down to his underwear and got into bed with the woman Saturday.”
Don’t forget famed Tennessee sheriff Buford T Pusser.
This is not a smart-ass post, though it may sound like one. Was the commuynity name a typo for the city of Providence, or is there actually a small town named “Provenance” in Rhode Island? (After seeing the origins of some town names, I could believe it!)
Tom Tancredo always gets me. In Spanish, a Tancredo was originally a kind of clown: they stand completely still while a fighter bull looks for something to attack, then make wild gestures whenever the bull is looking the other way. It also means someone who’s unable to react. I don’t know anything about the guys’ political career other than he had one, but damn what a name…
I was posting in a hurry and didn’t check it. Alas. Nancy Anne Cianci is still my favorite funny name.
Zimbabwean President Canaan Banana
