I went to school with 3 Kelly Greens.
There is a guy at work with the name Norman Gorman. The smart aleck in the front office likes to page him as Stormin’ Norman Gorman.
I was at the local library some time ago, and saw Flowers in the Blood by Gay Courter on sale. :eek: (I’d hope that it’s a pen name, but you never know) I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to bring it up, and with the bump of this thread, I finally get to.

In high school I knew a guy named Glasscock. You just know his nickname was “brittle dick.”
In college I knew a Randy Dick, That was funnier to students from England.
My dad swore he went to grammar school with a boy named Art Fay. The other boys called him “Fart.”
Geezer
There was a girl who graduated from a local high school, picture in yearbook and all - Anita Dick.
I once knew a lady with the fist name Bleeker, which she went by. Never figured that one out.
A former teacher used to tell us about the guy he went to school w/ in Appalachia - Homer Henry Hoover Harvey.
While trying to stay awake during a high school graduation, two names gave us the giggles as they were called out - Nam That Ton & Hai De Hoo.
When I was in college, we had several made up candidates run for homecoming queen or student body president. One of them was only able to be listed in the campus paper as Hugh Reckshun (without his middle inital G.).
Another college joke was that "Your momma lives in Teague (the athletes’ dorm). Sure enough, there was a dorm phone number listed for Nmomma Yure (dutifully listed by the phone company as Yure, Nmomma naturally).
Our highschool principal was called Dr. Sandercock.
Some genius figured out his last name backwards was:
COCKREDNESS (Ok, spelt differently, but meaning is the same).
Poor guy!
Some middle names from the graduation program at my high school (Redondo Union High School, Class of 1967):
Odelsie
Schnurman
Malley
Hardevsinhji (OK, he was an exchange student from India)
Lowise (she later told me it was misspelled)
My brother’s high-school yearbook had, in one class section, two names side by side: Kathy Love and Kathy Loveless.
Being named Sandercock isn’t bad enough, you then had to make up a nickname?
Sand 'er cock? She doesn’t even have a cock!
I Love Bacon is regularly full of these sorts of things. Today there’s “Dickies Elite Treats” (Dicks’ Treats) and “Wacker” (apparently demolition or road construction), with pictures. Odd people’s names, comapny names, street names, products, pictures of all sorts.
like Humptulips Dyke Road
I swear, it wasn’t me. I promise, Mommy. I was busy jumping off the bridge, because they told me to do it.
I have a few…a former dentist named Dr. Paine and a pediatrician named Dr. Little. When I was pregnant with my son, my first OB-GYN was Dr. Love but he skipped town so the boy was delivered by Dr. Kraedle. My all time favorite, and I am not making this up, was a commercial airline flight piloted by Captain Kurash!
As WeirdDave mentioned, there’s an eye doctor in Baltimore named Dr. Glasser, and also a plumber named John Flood.
I used to know a girl named Ocean DeShell.
I went to school with a Ted and John Kennedy (brothers!) and also know two Kathleen Kennedys (no relation, of course).
I used to work with a woman named Kitty Kelley, like the woman who wrote the Reagan biographies.
The “Wacker” reference would be to Wacker Drive in Chicago, a well-known (and not just for the name!) street downtown. It’s currently under major reconstruction, made more complicated by the fact that not only is this in a busy section of the Loop, but it also has a “lower level”, running underneath. Yes, there’s Upper Wacker and Lower Wacker.
I went to college with a woman named Joy Maus. Her birthday was in late December, and she found out from her parents that they’d been thinking about naming her (wait for it…) Mary Chris Maus. Her boyfriend at the time (of strong Norwegian decent) was going to be named Thor, but his parents settled on Per instead. (Yes, they lived in the US at the time - on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border.)
I know someone who knows a family with the last name Trout. They named their kids Lake, Brown, and the daughter’s name is Rainbow. I hear they’re a very well-adjusted family despite the names, and all of them have terrific senses of humor.
If you do a name search, you’ll find a significant number of people in the south with the last name Screws
On the San Jose Sate University radio station, there used to be a DJ that went by the name Justin Zane. Fake, I’m sure, but clever.
Acquaintance of mine, maiden name: Roxanne Goldstone.
She took her husband’s last name.
Why would they put it on the side of a truck? I wouldn’t think they’d re-paint their trucks for every project. http://www.ilovebacon.com/100402/f.shtml
When I was still a little kid, there was a foot doctor near the restaurant we went to Sundays. His name was Dr. Smelsley. At that time, there was a nationally syndicated t.v. show where you could mail in humor stuff like that–but someone did it before us! Can you imagine, in a country this large someone from our metro area doing that before we got the chance. I remember thinking they should have given us the stupid tee shirt.
This next one doesn’t relate to me, but I once heard on t.v about a family in the Ozarks. Their name was “Hog”. They had female triplets. So naturally they named them Husa, Ima, and Ura:D.
Well, maybe you had to be there;) .

I once knew a woman by the name of Amanda Bedwell. Since she was quite the looker, the usual comment about her name is/aws “I’ll bet she does…”

I went to school with a Stormy Rainey and a Holly Hooberry.
My mother went to high school with a man named Eluterio Penes.
