I used to have clients called Michael Kane, Paul Newman, and one poor sod named after a foreign soccer player on the local team - Zoltan Varga Anderson.
My friend’s brother at school was called Attila.
I recently saw a police report relating to one John Fitzgerald Kennedy - conspiracy theorists take note!
I went to school with Velvet Lipps - isn’t that a great porn star name? I’ve also known a Seargant Major and two Mike Hunts. Some parents should be shot.
The psychologist at my middle school was named Richard Seaman. Guess how he abbreviated Richard? No, not “Rich.”
I always thought Sally Ride was both suggestive and prophetic.

I am a teacher and have also seen some weird names.
Within the last few years, I have had some famous kids in my class, like Courtney Cox, Kristin Johnston, John Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy, Carrie Grant (female), Grace Kelly, Leah Thompson, Michael Fox (no J.), Jordan Michaels (say it backwards…Michael Jordan), 3 Keanu’s, 2 Uma’s and several kids with parents named Bill & Monica.
Strangest I ever had was Holly Berry. Her father was (no kidding) Barry Berry and her mother was Kerry Berry. Weird.
One year I also had a kid whose last name was George…dad was George George. That borders on child abuse, IMHO.
My borther has a customer named Richard Shivers. He HATES to call this tool cause he INSISTS on being called “Dick”! Dick Shivers.
I’ve spoken with Ova Shanker before(ovum chancre)!
Oy…

From your posts, I figured you we a Warrior.
Jesus is just my name for the board. The real name’s Kelton Phillips.
[hijack on]
Kelton. Of course. I’d prefer (more from paranoia than for any good reason) to keep my real name off the board, but I’ve e-mailed the address in your profile.

I’d forgotten that Jack Frost was a Junior.
My mother worked in a dry cleaner owned by a Hertz family. Their son was Richard. Dick Hertz . . .

My high school math teacher was Ben Gay… I kid you not.
I just registered because I had to share that.
there is positively a baseball player named Quentin McCracken.
There was another ballplayer named Enos “Country” Slaughter.
How about Mordecai “Three-Fingered” Brown? He actually only had three fingers (part of one and all of two) on his pitching hand.
A looong time ago I was watching a special on Nolan Ryan and they came up with all these great jokes about who he struck out. One of them was “Law and Orta”.
I have no way to verify this – and I suppose she could have been pulling my leg. However, when I was in high school, one of my teachers moved away to Texas; Houston, I think. She later returned for a visit and told us one of the girls she taught music was named Diarrhea. “No!!” we all said. “Yes,” she insisted, telling us she’d try to purposely misprounounce it, saying “Dee-AREY-ah” or some other painful dodge.
“No, ma’am,” the child would always insist (according to her), “it’s Diarrhea!!”
Since I graduated from high school almost 20 years ago, this supposed fifth grader would be 'bout 30 by now. I hope she changed her name!
Kinsey! So nice to see another Baltimoron on the boards! Why didn’t you come to the get together last weekend? You said:
Yup. And I went to elementary school with his daughter. The one I like is the Oby/Gyn from Northern Virginia named Dr.Bush. And my wife had a boy in one of her classes named Luscious. Poor kid.
My friend once had a doctor named Dr. Shlockter.
When I was in kindergarten, the three teachers were Mrs. Supel (soup bowl) Mrs. Broccolari (broccoli) and Mrs. Taffee (duh). (It was funnier when I was in kindergarten)
Two of the teachers in my school, Mr. Furry and Mrs. Dickes got married – Mrs. Dickes-Furry
Phillip Ip cracked me up for a good 10 minutes :o)
I know a pair of twins named Jennifer Rebekah and Jeana Renee. Their brother and father are John R. So, the whole family has the same initials–J.R.N. Last name–and the twins get a lot of jokes about it, mostly from me–Nutt. (I won’t explain any of the jokes, but it’s easy to figure out… ;))
Truly weird names: any child of Frank Zappa.

JBirdman12 - I knew an Orangejello and Lemonjello, too.
Perhaps they were the same. I can’t imagine there’re too many jellos running around.
There was a family in my town who named their kids Michael, Mitchell, Michelle, and Mikell. I think the father was Mike, Sr. Seems a bit of an ego trip.
A couple of grades below me is Randy Dick, and his older sister Mandy. Not only perverse, rhyming as well…::shudder::
