Whoops… “Aspriri” is supposed to be “Aspirin.”

I’m guessing I had another brainfart… what else is new around here? :wink:

F_X

I know a Gabriel Astird.
He goes by Gabe.

I’m glad you started this.

My friends sister works in a hospital. She is also pregnant with her second child, which makes her a target for " Hey, what do you think about X for a name?" or " Wait until you hear this combination…"

A recent visitor to the hospital is named: **Willis Tillis Jr. **

One of the benefits of working in a call center is the occasional name that causes you to put the person on hold for a moment so you don’t laugh directly at them. :slight_smile:

The most recent one: Chu Hahn Mei.

I shit you not – the person called up and said her name was, phonetically, Chew On Me.

Not a personal name, but I just discovered while looking something up in the zip code directory that there is a street in Sacramento called Harms Way.

I went to school with Candy Barr

and my daughter went to school with Shreeka Payne (I’m glad I wasn’t at that delivery).

Two officers, same rank, same squadron: Knight and Armour

In Basic I met trainee Gay and trainee High.

My dad knows a Red Cockburn.

Why would he go by Red?

I went to high school with a Monte Carlo Hall.

Doing student teaching, I had a student named Penny Lane.

While teaching there was a student at the school named David Balz. His father’s name was Harry.

Nancy Nipples! She owns/owned the dairy and egg store at Pike Place Market! Yay!

On another board, I mentioned I knew someone who went to school with Polly Graph. She dated a guy with the last name of Lye for a short time.

Ooops. Actually, I meant Polly Graff.

Heh…was just having a discussion with my mother, and this topic came up. While I always knew my grandmother’s name was May, it wasn’t until now that I leared that her middle name was Bea. :slight_smile:

One of my old sales rep’s name was Becky Bridges. Sounded like porn to me. :eek:

I ran across a customer by the name of “Valentine F. Grabowski” the other day. Sent me into fits of giggles for about half an hour. If I had heard that name before, it’d be my pseudonym here instead of Bambi. I think it’s mostly the disconnect between the ethnicities and the sheer length of it.

There was a girl in my high school named Mona Groen.

my mother used to see a psychologist with the name of Dr. Willy Pecker.

My last name is Green. I share a first name with a very unfunny Canadian “comedian” who has artificial testicals and had a short marriage to a Hollywood starlet, but shall otherwise remain nameless. (I was born several years before him and would like to sue him for tarnishing my name.)

Oops, sorry for the digression :stuck_out_tongue: , I was going to say that my kids had better hope never to be born. I have already picked out their names:

Soylent (good for a boy or girl)
Wolfgang (“Gang” for short)
Chartruse (for a girl)

:smiley:

My mother worked in the records dept. of a large hospital. Saw a lot of strange/unusual names. You can add my contribution to add to your childs’ name list.

“Paris Green”

At least then there would be little doubt that Soylent Green is people.
