Silly Names: Nursing Holmes

Car Talk, not APHC.

The list is not short.

Well done! Garrison did have a list of his own, too. Probably traded some ideas with Click and Clack. :slight_smile:

(I Love these)

Two I stole from a New York Magazine competition:
Matt Burns, Wrestler
Lucinda Joints, Contortionist

I. Yankem - Dentist
Dewey, Cheatham, & Howe - Lawyers

OK, those are from the Three Stooges.

Some people I went to high school with just had their first child and named her Minnie. The last name is Mead (pronounced liked ‘bead).’ Minnie Mead. Their daughter’s name is an Austin Powers pun…and unless they’ve changed dramatically from high school, they absolutely did it on purpose.

As far as fake ones go, I’ve always be partial to Ophelia Balls.

I thought she went by Marge?

Isaac Hunt

Harry Areola

Dorrie N. Column

Jim Henson shoulda named his daughter Mary Annette.

I knew this topic wasn’t a new one because I had the occasion to post this list a while back. There may be another dozen or so we came up with, but Rita Mandweep was the one that caused me to search to see if I had mentioned her before.

Hugo Furst (bungee jumping instructor)

Raina Katzandauz

I still don’t get Hugh Jackman

As a telemarketer, I call a lot of people. Some of the more interesting names I’ve called these people (all actually answered the phone, otherwise I would assume it was a fake name)

Aaron Limbless
Derek Dolarbill
Castro Louie
Miracle Jim
Hot Molly
Donna Rambeaux
Sammy Semenchugg
Hilda Lesbo
Camile Hole
Jesus Christ

I saw one at work the other day, Virginia Hom. It’s a real name. I wonder if she hates her parents?

Christian V. Lyons

From one long-ago job when I sat by a printer pulling out envelopes as they were printing. Saw some interesting, allegedly real names. One of my favorites. But I also liked Batt Bemster.
