I had a girl on my soccer team named Analy. I was at a bit of a loss until one of the other girls told me that is was pronounced like Ana Lee. I was glad to have the help! ---

When I was a kid, there was a guy named Richard Seaman who subbed in the grade schools. Yes, he went by Dick. [And in fact, he still does (see the bottom of p. 140).](http://www.cityofevanston.org/government/council/minutes/2004/02_23_04_cc.pdf) It was an endless source of amusement to the average fourth-grade class, let me tell you. And it was even more fun when he ran for local office. ---

[Dick Blood](http://cornellbigred.com/coaches.aspx?rc=582&path=softball) called for my boss once, about 10 years ago when I was an office manager. I actually got to say the words, “Jim, I have Dick Blood on the phone.” If Jim been feeling whimsical, he could have said, “Well, wipe it off and stop doing that sort of thing at work!” ---

Worked with a guy whose surname was Pinkstaff. He was Gay-Pretty, but claimed to be straight. His name did not serve him well in that regard.
