Tampa gynecologist - Dr. Lipps (don’t know his first name - Harry?)
My sister’s name: Sandy Seemann

Somehow while looking for one thing, I ended up on the Lost Alumni Webpage for Harding University in Searcy Arkansas. Bored as I was, I scrolled down the list of names of missing class mates and found a couple of funny names.
- Myrtle Bumstead
- Cled Click
- Charles Richard Holder. (Dick Holder…)
- Neal Buffaloe (Where the buffalo roam…jokes must have been unbearable.)
- Elmer Boner. Poor guy, A man with a bad name is already half hung…this guy was double hung.
and guess whose Mother is spanish and father is German:
Mercedes Hechenbleiiner.
Ok, this was a deliberate search of an alumni data base and I came up with a good one:
From Oxford, as in THE Oxford, I found in the graduating class of 1994,
Teddy Dik Hung Wu.
In my high school, they had a wall with the “best boy” awards for each year (this was from before the component schools merged, and I believe that campus was an all male school). We used to laugh at some of the names.
such as:
Michael Onderdonk III
Otto Boos (think in Spanish)
a third, hilarious one which escapes me now. Ah well.

I went to school with a French guy called Nicholas Schiettecat. It probably means somthing different over there.
It only hurts when I laugh.
I went to school with a french guy named Nicholas Schiettecatt, which probably means something different over there.))) Moonshine
Babblefish translation: Schiettecat means " I fart in your general direction"
(Don’t forget to thin your lips and narrow your eyes as you say it, just like a frog.)
I interned at the City/County building here several summers ago. One of the D.A.'s was prosecuting a fellow by the name of Harry Butts.
Also my mom works in a bank and one of her customers got remarried and changed her last name to that of her new husband. She now proudly calls and announces herself, “This is Lotta Dick.”
I also went to school with a Barbara Bush, a Michael Myers and Brandy Wine.
a relations of… Ummmm (me?) recently had two sons.
Hunter Taylor, and Ficher Poloque (sp?)
(polo-CHECK)
so Hunter and Fish Pole will have it BAD.
I met a barkeeper in Spain once. Ugly bad-ass brute of 6’6" who said: “If they make trouble…? See this 'ammer… I hit them over the knuckles or a knee-cap. An 'ammer is not a weapon, it’s a tool, hwen the coppers show.”
His name was Richard Small, and he had a tattoo of a lightning, much like the emblem of Flash Gordon, on his … Dick.
And yes, he was called Dick Small. I swear that all this is true, I saw his passport, and he used to show his … Richard … to everyonein the bar after hours when he was drunk … laid it on the counter.
Now, he used to claim that when he was doing his military service in England, there were two other Richards in his platoon. I don’t know if this is true, but it’s good anyway, as he said they all had a hard time, since the other twos last names were Tiny & Little, respectively.
Nice story though, and the name explains something about his attitude.

I work in Workers’ Compensation and one law firm we have to deal with is called Johnson Cram Harder.

My mom used to work in retail and she ran into someone named Candy Cane. And I’ve always been a fan of Dick Trickle (a race car driver)
TheDude
Wow, someone beat me to it. I also worked with a Candy Kane. Candy was a real name, not a nickname. She married into the name Kane, though.

You’ve never heard of Robbie Robertson?
Sheesh … kids …
I was visiting a engine plant in Detroit last week and past a cubicle with the name Sherman Williams on it.

I work with a lad whose last name is Wind. He is engaged to a lass whose first name is Misty.
My sixth grade teacher’s name was Richard Head. There is a local mortgage broker who advertises on the radio by the name of Harry Glans. Poor bastard. The Detroit Lions had a corner back named Harry Colin. Weren’t these folk’s parents thinking?
One of my vendors at work is named Dick Grater.
Hard to believe he makes any sales at all. I get uncomfortable just talking to him.
I’ve seen a lot of medical reports from a surgeon named Dr. Hacker. Sounds like he does his operating with a machete.
I also know an OB-GYN named Dr. Wolf. Great name for a guy who works with women.

Went to school (briefly - see Squirrel Depravation in Tennessee on the TM page) in Tennessee, and I never met so many people with goofy names:
Sputt Hooper
Scarlett Derryberry
J. Hill (and his brother Moe Hill - no shit!)
John J. Johnson (yeah, middle name too)
Alton Oschner (son of a very famous surgeon by the same name in LA, I think)
Julian Tune
Tucker Hume (hee!)
and more I can’t think of right now.
Also used to work in Beverly Hills with a woman named…yup… Beverly Hill.
And there’s some coach or something with the Dodgers named Richard Pole, but goes by the name “Big Dick Pole.” Yeesh!

Forgot one…
I used to date a man named Rob Corn, whose ex-wife’s name was Candy. Gag! (for those who are following along, Rob is also the man I mention in the “most unusual place you’ve ever done…it” thread - wonder what ever happened to that boy?)
