Interesting Names

I’ve just learned that there’s a dentist named Han Soo Lho working about a mile from my house.

I wonder if he backs up his business data using Carbonite?
In other news, I know a David Bowie, and have met a Bob Dillon (pronounced like “Dylan”) within the past gew months.

James Joyce used to be my bank manager.

My friend went to high school with a girl named Britney Houston.

My previous eye doctor’s name was Dr. Spector.

I once went to a concert performed by jazz pianist Dick Hyman - he’s popped up in another SDMB thread about names (a thread about celebrities with fake-sounding names that are in fact their real names.)

I worked with a James Joyce at a brokerage firm.

His wife’s name was Joyce.

She must have really loved him.

I used to work with a David Hilbert. While we were both still working there, the department wanted to hire a guy called James Joyce (he got a better offer elsewhere, though).

My mother told me that there’s a local doctor called Dr. Hu.

When I called our IT support line, the guy in India who answered the phone said, in his unmistakable Indian accent, that his name was Benjamin Franklin. I am not making this up.

I know a Michael Jordan, an Alice Cooper, a Benjamin Franklin, and a Phil Spector. None of them are the famous people by that name, however.

My fencing teacher in college was Mrs. Pearce.

Think that’s bad? Our family friend Gary Duck met and married a woman named…Daphne. Yes, she’s Daphne Duck. :smiley:

My transplant surgeon is Dr. Paine.

There’s a Dr. Finger here who’s got an office behind the OB/GYN clinic.

:slight_smile:

I spoke to Mandela again today. He works front desk at a local hotel. Last year we were doing a tour which included a visit to Mike Hunts pottery, on the same tour we point out a dildo cactus.

I used to work with a guy named Jim Jones.

I knew a guy named Dick Hunt. Never understood why he didn’t go by Richard. At least he didn’t name any of his sons Mike.

And then there’s always that story about Picabo Street

Or went by just one name.

I often have lunch with Phil Collins.

I went to school with James Bond.

I knew a guy whose middle name was James and last name was Bond, but he went by his first name.
