I’m extremely glad that I am not named, as was a recent client at my place of business, Dick Lady.
Which brings to mind a couple of others. (Personally verified by me, not “friend of a friend” stories.)
-A list of available babysitters in my neighborhood listed a girl whose first name was “Armpitta”. Undoubtedly a beautiful name in the mother tongue, but…
-The woman in front of me in line at the drugstore, whose name was (I saw her driver’s license) Ammonia Hyman.
My best friend from high school was named Joe Budy. Pronounced “booty.” He never lived it down.
The kid convinced me he had real psychological trauma from the time he was playing basketball in gym in sixth grade, and the coach yelled out “Joe Budy’s too hot to handle!”
and I now it can be important for a professional woman to keep her identity after she’s married, but what was this woman thinking?
Maybe her maiden name was pronounced more like “faylin” but it sort of looks likes “feelin” also.
She is: Connie Phelen-Peters
I swear on my mother’s grave this is true. (Disclaimer: my mother isn’t deceased, but she has pre-paid for her cemetary plot.)
I went to High school with a real sweetheart named William Doe… or Bill as he was generally known…
One of the chiefs of police in this area is named Marlin Balls… I think Roy City… maybe Ashtar knows…
I used to work with his wife Linda…she was a secretary and was IMMEDIATELY on first name basis with everyone! “Good Morning Mrs Balls”
My public speaking teacher’s last name is Tryanski. He has a limp. The limp is a result of an old injury that wrecked all the tendons in his leg. The injury took place when he decided to try an’ ski.
At my school in fifth grade, there was a teacher named Mr. Dick. Supposedly his name was Harry and his wife’s name was Ima, but that’s more than likely just a kid joke.
My friends know a girl named Crystal Vylette. Now, if that doesn’t sound like a porn star’s name…
Not necessarily. As I mentioned before in a similar thread, I knew both a Harry Dick and a Harry Ball. Of course, for some reason both of them preferred to be addressed as “Harold”!
There was a neighbor of mine named Ada Cherry. She never really understood why people found her name amusing.
For a short while I did phone surveys for extra money (I know, I know, but I wasn’t selling anything!) and I heard some pretty bad names, usually along the lines of Dick Something. But the worst name I’ve ever heard was my mom’s first boyfriend. Very popular and nice guy, and he was never really teased about it. His name?
There was this girl, back when I was in elementary school, named Anita Dick. I still remember the look on the poor girls face when the teacher said everyone’s name the first day and made us introduce ourselves.
