It reminds me of a song I used to hear on alternative radio… something akin to “Mr. Davolina , paging Bob Davolina (sp?)” It creeps into my head every now and then leaving me very confused and frustrated. ---

> [@Kalhoun](#): > > Mr. Dobolina, Mr. Bob Dobolina. It was from a Monkees album in the '60s. Interesting – I didn’t know that. There’s a rap song by that title that was done in the (I think) late 80s or early 90s by Del The Funky Homosapien. The repetition of that particular sample is really, really catchy, and I’ll probably have it in my head the rest of the day. ---

Here are some taped ones from Heathrow Airport. Hilarious. \*This is the story… We‘d go and sit on the balcony at Terminal 3 at Heathrow Airport, directly under one of the PA speakers where we put a tape machine in a bag with the microphone poking out of the top. Then we‘d look for a flight that had arrived in the last 40 minutes from somewhere where you‘d expect people with unpronounceable names i.e. Saudi Arabia. We would then go to the Airport Help Desk with a prewritten note containing the names of fictitious passengers and ask them to read out the names over the PA system. The passenger’s names looked innocent enough on paper but they sounded like something else when read out loud.\* [http://www.hendess.net/london.htm](http://www.hendess.net/london.htm) Makollig Jezvahted and Levdaroum DeBahzted is my favorite. ---

A friend of mine fancies himself as Hugh Jorgan. Don’t know if he made it up himself, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets himself a t-shirt with it printed on it. When I was just a young lass working in an office for the first time, I was filling in for the receptionist and a man called for one of the execs. Me: May I take a message, sir? Him: Yes, the name’s Dover. First name Ben. It turned out to be the exec’s buddy. They must have planned it because rather than get the written message from me he called me from his office and had me read it to him. :smack: My name’s Wookinpanub, and I am a laughingstock. ---

At the risk of getting this zombie closed by resuscitating it, I just wanted to share a link that fans of this thread might enjoy. See [Anomalous List of Unusual Names](http://names.freehosting.net/clean.html) and note that there are more than the “Clean” ones to add to your repertoire. How many new Dopers will we see with some of these names? ---

This reminds me of the running gag on _Laugh-In_ where they would pick two actual well-known people and say “If X married Y…”, as follows: Did you know that, if Christie Brinkley married Sean Hannity, she’d be Christie Hannity?
