I have an ancestor who was a physician named Dr. Bonebrake.
And I went to second grade with triplet sisters named Nina, Pinta, and Maria.
I went to high school with a girl named Karla Hidy (HI-dee). Not so unfortunate, you say?
Her older sister’s first name was Heidi.
I always wondered what her parents were thinking.
One of my friends used to work with a woman named Sharon Cox.
at work:
Peter Hung
someone whose last name is Ashwash
My college’s guest artist series included a pianist named Dick Hyman
Could be a joke, but my aunt told of a student she had named Crystal Shanda Lear
Taco B.M. Monster is my favorite
They were big Cab Calloway fans?
I had a dermatologist named Dr. Scales.
I worked with a Mike Hunt.
A girl on my floor in college had the last name Sweat.
A family in our neighborhood was named Fuchs (“Fyooks”)
Oh and my best friend’s name is Ginger. Her sister’s name is Ginny. Not as bad as some, but I do wonder what their parents were thinking.
Did Heidi turn out to be a Ho? That’s a unfortunate turn of events just to be Cab fans.
Timely. I just learned that Brad Pitt’s brother is named Doug.
I knew this Anil Dikshit at Cornell (only in passing)
My wife used to work at a hospital, with a Doctor Wachter. Her dentist was Dr. Drilling at one point. When I lived in Trenton, NJ, I used to see political campaign signs for the tandem of Cox and Ball.

I used to work with a Penny Ho.
And even though that guy played college ball and looks like he could kick your ass to next week and back, he still changed his name about as soon as he was legally able.
In a small town near where I grew up there were two old-time families that had been there since pioneer times. They owned a lot of property and one saw their names everywhere…on businesses, on road signs, in the local paper. The Glasscocks and the Hollopeters.
Dang you beat me to the Dick Trickle, but I also came to say the one that makes me laugh almost as much every time I hear it, is Jack Johnson.
Brilliant.
I Googled the name, [I think] he was from Brazil; hence, it’s Portuguese. So what does “Fuck” mean in that language?
When I lived in Tx I knew a Rusty Nail, and In MI I knew of a Jack Frost.
When Mrs M was in for her second Caesarian, the nurse who came to prep her wore a name badge which she saw me peeking at and said “Yes, really”. I leave it to women who have had Caesarians to pronounce on whether they would be cheered to see they were to be attended by a nurse named “Cruella”. 
I know of two Pakistanis by the name of Fakya Sheik and her brother Anus Sheikh.
And? Am I missing something?
