The best real/funny name I know belongs to the head of the Catholic Church in Vietnam:
Cardinal Sin!
We’ve got a Seaman Seeman aboard as well as a Lieutenant Major! We also have a member of the crew named Petty Officer Pulver, who I’m trying to convince to apply for an officer program. He’s never seen the movie, so he doesn’t know what he’d be in for.

And narrowly averted the despised moniker Smiley Master
Forward deployed until 18AUG00
I have a neighbor whose name is Richard Dick, and he goes by Dick.
Have someone I work with by the name of Yee Hah(he is an electrician(sparky), so that is understandable).
When I was secretary to a social worker she had some Cambodian clients, family name…PHUC.
Oh, how could I forget this one? There’s a guy right here in New York named Fuc Yu!
Chief, I seem to remember that Cardinal Sin was head of the diocese of the Virgin Islands. (Which of course, makes it a double whammy.)

Went to HS with a poor young lady with the name of Tina Butts… And, unfortunately for her, her surname was quite fitting. There was also a young lady in my class named Jill Oppy.
I go to college with (I’ve seen their names in the directory) a Leafy Ice and a Lettice Haver (pronounced Hay-ver).
Also, the Dean of our school of Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Technology is Jerome Cain. That’s right, Dean Cain.

Ben Dover and Phil McCracken!
Bwahahahahahah!
My mom swears she went to a podiatrist once named “Foot”. Although, if that is your name, what career options are you left with?
“A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.” – George Bernard Shaw
I work in the billing department of a local utility. I see some weird names, I’m telling you.
One I just ran across a few days ago was interesting. The person’s first name is Clement, and his last name is Pope. On my billing register, the last name appears first. So I see Pope Clement.
Oh yeah, there’s a lady somewhere in this city who’s last name is French-Frey. Hm.
This is my new sig. Thank Wally. It was his idea.
“I made my husband join a bridge club. He jumps next Tuesday.”
This is somewhat FOAFy, but my high-school band director claimed to know a married pair of music lovers with the surname of Chant, so when their son was born, they named him… wait for it… Gregor Ian. I think that qualifies as child abuse, myself.
Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.
My parents went to high school with an Ima and Randy Hore (bro and sis)
Oh, and my friend’s mother was born Penny Wages and she named her daughter Nicole (nickel).
My SO went to school with a Dick Glascock
Rather, I was in the position of a spore which, having finally accepted its destiny as a fungus, still wonders if it might produce penicillin.

Man… seeing these has reminded me of a few. I too have known a Phuc Yu, and a Long Duong. There is also a famous local family here with the last name of Hogg. They named their daughter Ima.
Things are random only insofar as we don’t understand them.
I forgot to mention one of my friend’s name was Wyleen Wenck, and now her name is Wyleen Frogoza. So,in school the joke was “Wyleen? Because she can’t stand up straight!”
There were variations on that, that I won’t repeat here, using her maiden name.
Okay, I know it’s lame, but hey, it was high school.
You sing in my consciousness like a counterpoint to my life.

“His eyes are as green as a fresh-pickled toad,
His hair is as dark as a blackboard,
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.”
For years there was a Fannie O’Rear in the Chattanooga phonebook.
Here in Knoxville is a well-known and highly respected lady by the name of Lotta Dick…when I first heard this, I thought for sure my leg was being pulled. Then I met her! She’s a sweet gal with a great sense of humor.
Green Bean,
His name was actually spelled Beand O’Bhear… (His e-mail addie is beand_obhear@hotmail.com)
He’s a good friend of Fr.Bha Seactome
You pulling my leg? I thought it was just an awful joke.
If I find out that you made that up, I’m gonna follow you all over this board yelling “Stella! Stella!”
There’s a lawyer out here named: John N. Hiscock. I kid you not.
I also knew a professor whose name was Jay Drydyk go here and run a search for him… .

Went to high school with Ty Angle. Have no clue what his parents were thinking.
A dentist in the same complex as the guy who pulled my wisdom teeth had the rather appropriate name of Dr. Toothman.
A woman here was named Robin Street, and married, then went by Robin Street-Walker. She was humorless as well as clueless about her choice.
I play the phonebook game on the road, and my all time fave is from the Opelousas, LA, pages: Wyatt Splane. Made me fall out! We joke that he’s got a sister Donna, and a cousin Kenny.
