We had a realtor named Elizabeth Taylor. And I used to work with a Jim Jones.
Not very impressive…
I know a Ben Franklin (accountant), Dan Brown (therapist), and a Paul Newman (psychologist). Apparently Paul’s parents knew of the actor when they named him, but thought he wasn’t going to be that famous. :wally
My doctor for years after high school was Dr. Frank Burns. I had the spine to never, ever say a thing about…
I know someone named David Crockett. Unsurprisingly, he goes by David, but it took me a while to get past the urge to call him Davy.
Liz Taylor fired me from one of my first jobs. (Insurance company.)
A good friend of mine married Danny Thomas, who tried in vain to become known as Dan.
And my college psychology teacher was Dr. Pepper.
I know a Michael Jackson (although he called himself Miguel), a Gerry Garcia (with a G) and was at university with a Douglas Adams.
I went to school with a Charlie Brown.
I have an uncle-in-law that is Robert Wagner. ( And yes, he has used this little gift to help with hotel reservations.)
I have a cousin and a (late) grandpa named Ted Kennedy & Joe Kennedy.
