Seeing people with the surname Dick always brings a bit of sympathy out. But the couple who named their second daughter Ophelia deserve to be shot.
I kid you not.
The state of Texas once had a Governor named Hogg. (I don’t remember his first name.) He had two daughters, Ima Hogg and Ura Hogg.
Believe it, it is true.
Normally I’m just a lurker, but I had to reply to this.
I worked with a woman named Janice Hurlbutt. Her assistant was Wendell Wingo.
Ladies, if you’re marrying a man named “Hurlbutt”, why would you change your last name??
I had a high school teacher named Richard Swett. He went by Dick.
The oral surgeon who extracted a tooth from my jaw last year was named Dr. Fear. I thought my dentist was putting me on when he gave the referral.
Hi WeirdDave! Or should I say “Hi, Hon” ?
I have been a lurker for a while, but just recently registered. I don’t really “know” anyone enough to go to the get together. Sounded like fun, though!
There is a golf instructor who appears regularly on the Golf Channel, named Dick Tiddy.
In my previous marriage, when my then-wife became pregnant, I had wanted to name our child Coagulatedaluminum if it was a girl, or Krizmo Bizmark of Nazareth if it was a boy.
I was overruled.
My mom works with a lawyer named Mr. Narowdick. She says she can’t help but laugh when she talks to him.

I had a professor in college named Richard Dick… apparently he’s moving up in the world.
My parents have a good friend named Charlie Chan. Not Charles. Charlie. And on another board (about.com’s urban legends discussions, I think), somebody claimed to know twins named…wait for it…Lavoris and Clitoris.
All this reminds me of that Nicholas Cage (?) skit on Saturday Night Live. This isn’t verbatim, but close enough:
“This is your name?”
“Yeah…you got a problem with that?”
“Well…no…Mister…uh…Asswipe…?”
“HEY! IT’S AZ-WEEP-AY!”
I went to high school with a girl named Saytion Conver (on the roll book, of course, it read Conver, Saytion [spelling approximate; it’s been awhile] )
Quentin McCracken, when last I checked played for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Listening to the sports report on the radio this morning, I was reminded of a famous-person name I love: Moises Alou. My husband and I always put on our “Billy Crystal You Look Mah-vellous” voice and say, “He is just the Moist-est Alou!!”
(Yes, we’re easily entertained.)
I have a cousin named Jesse James,
he has a half brother named
this is true
Harley David
I thought Ayesha was a stange joke for the longest time, because it’s so easy to pronounce dirty.
Hello, dpr’s imposter/troll. You think Ayesha is a strange name ? Good, that insures me that you will remember it for a long time to come. While I will have forgotten you by morning.
The strangest name I ever came across was NaNa, a women I knew named her daughter that. She said she named the baby for the song, NaNa NaNa, hey hey goodbye. Of course she also said she was on acid when the baby was born.
Hey Ayesha! I remember that song! Bananarama! Cool. 
Anyway, how about that guy that hosts that show Blind Date? Roger Lodge.
Several years ago while I was temping at an investment firm, there was a manager there who had the name of “Richard Head.” As you might have already guessed, everyone referred to him as “Dick” (Head).
In my scant three months at that job, I came to the conclusion that no man alive had been more appropriately named.
My dad’s childhood Sunday School teacher: Ima Rose Bush
Know a fella named: Ivan Oder
Went to school with: Jim Hackett. Not weird? He was pre-med, OB-GYN. Would you like your doc named Dr. Hackett? The joke was, “Dr. Hackett, at your cervix”
Cornell Engineering?
I remember that prof.
There was a grad student there when I was an undergrad named
Anil Dikshit.
I worked in the library and we used to have to send him overdue notices all the time.
All right, jesuslynch, JBirdman12, Nacho4Sara. I’d like to see some documentation for any of the following names: Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Orangejello, Lemonjello, Shithead, or Pajamas. Smells to me like the familiar “African-American woman reads words off poster, doesn’t know what they mean, and uses them as a name” UL.
Snopes covers this UL here. This writeup actually lists some of the “names” above. I think you’ve been had.
