Pitcher Randy Johnson is a real example. It was especially funny when the 2005 NY Yankees had a Johnson, a Wang, and A-Rod on the roster. ---

I didn’t believe it when I first heard his name; I thought it was some joke, however lame. But no. And he dated a girl named Navy Blue! No kidding.\* - kidding ---

I’ve never heard of “leg in” being Australian slang, either. Now if she was called Ivana Legova then you’d be onto something… (Incidentally Googling Ms Legin finds a few hits for an actress.) ---

I used to work with a guy called ‘Scott Thrush’ (he’s got thrush), and in my position as a customer service advisor for several large companies I’ve come across or heard about the following names: Mr. Philip Ness (Mr P. Ness). Miles Long. Not one, but _two_ Mike Hunts. Wilhelmina Willy (it just sounds funny!) Fisty McPaedophile (okay, I may have made that one up) As well as a guy who changed his name via deed poll to ‘Mr. Ultimate Warrior’. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > I used to work with a Richard Head. Much to his chagrin, most of his co-workers called him Dick. Even worse, they Charlie Browned him and would also use his last name. He was a major blowhard a-hole, so it fit. So did my sister at one time! Was this in the Vegas gaming industry by any chance? They all called him ‘Dick’ too, and he thought it was funny as hell. ---

The now-former head of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency is a guy named Richard Willey. Naturally, he went by Dick. (He also left the agency in a cloud of scandal, which is why his name is familiar.) There is a [Dr. Eric Seaman](http://www.njurology.com/_physicians/seaman.php), who is a male infertility specialist in New Jersey. ---

Just a bump to say that I saw Ms [Nina Nannar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Nannar) on the TV news the other day. She clearly missed her calling as an ambulance driver. ---
