After my active duty military service I spent a year in the reserves. In my unit I was a records clerk. Another woman in the company had a strange name. Her parents had desperately wanted a boy it seems, and to name it after the father, Floyd Earl. They got a girl instead, so they hung the moniker Floydene Earlene on the child. That’s what I call child abuse. 
This guy isn’t always Og…he’s sometimes THE OG !!!
Qadgop, I wonder if you could make a signature that included a link to a post or something that explained the HIPPA problem. Like Tuckerfan’s links about Tuckers. Then you could choose to use that signature when posting work related anecdotes.
I know the onus shouldn’t be on you to always educate people when you just want to share funny stories. Just a suggestion.
Not to hijack too much, but man, I’d just keep my maiden name in that case. My mom has a friend named Gay, who married a man with the last name Ray. According to my mother, she struggled for months after the engagement, not wanting to tell her husband that she wanted to keep her own name, in case he thought she wasn’t really committed or something. When she finally brought it up to him, he pointed out that no one who really loved another person would want them to change their name to “Gay Ray”.
Wow - this whole story is so wrong, in so many ways. I guess if your name is Floyd Earl, you don’t see any problem with Floydene Earlene. Or naming your boychild after you. Floyd Earl Junior. Floyd Earl II. The Floyd Earl Dynasty. I guess there wouldn’t be any confusion in the house, since the kid would go by Bubba anyway.
AN ex co-worker from years back was a woman named Kirk with two sisters: one named Bryan and the other named an equally masculine name I now forget.
Yes, all 3 turned out rather strange. The parents seemed normal enough and certainly had normal names. No clue why they did what they did.
Dave’s bio-grandmother was named for her father. Her name is Elmer. She goes by her middle name, Katherine.
How would he walk?
I couldn’t get ZipperJJ’s link to load, but seeing that it’s for Urban Dictionary, it is probably explaining that “OG” stands for “original gangster,” or one of the early or “old school” guys.
Is he older?
If he’s young and trying to use the “OG” moniker, then he’s probably just a foolish young buck trying to grab the shirttails of the older, more established guys with street cred.
We had a fellow in the firehouse who was nicknamed Og-he had played offensive guard in HS feetsball and his jersey had OG on the sleeves. He was a helluva truckie, too.
I’ve never had a patient named Og. Nor Ogg, Egg, Egg McMuffin nor Oog.
I’ll expect your privacy gestapo at my door shortly.
He ain’t no spring chicken. He’s over 50.
And Og thanked me.
How does that latter bit fit into SDMB theological worldviews?
Hah ! Hah ! But did you have one named Egg Nog ? :dubious:
Does he have low self-esteem?
If he doesn’t believe in himself would that be blasphemy?
Og revealed
Dang, Og doesn’t allow hot linking…
Link doesn’t work for me.
You’ll have to cut n paste the url…
Doesn’t work that way for me either.
Here ya go. It’s actually OC, unless North Carolina allowed gay marriage in the '60s, or something.
