An actual person, and in no way an atractive Bond assasin, called Sugar Putzi.
Abcde, yes that is really what her parents named her.
I am an administrator for a mid/large Facebook group (maybe 15k members.) One of those is named Sandy Butts. I think I’d have kept my maiden name!
Does she have a bad temper?
My business page has over 500K followers. It’s a constant source of amusement.
A person with the surname “Badboy”.
Particularly ironic in my setting.
I was looking at some user data in the database the other day and saw a user with the first name “Imagine”.
He was Egyptian, and for all I know, his name is as common as David over there, and may mean “What a great person,” but the guy’s name was Mehat, pronounced Meh-hat," like, “that’s a really mediocre hat.”
I am probably a terrible person, because I couldn’t get “mediocre hat” out of my mind whenever I heard his name.
I also met a “Tamara,” whose parents went nuts and spelled it “Tahmarah.” I’ll bet she just loves spelling it out for every single person she meets.
I work with a database of generally low income people. One set of new twins were Mazerati and Lamborghini.
‘Lately’? No. Back in the '80s, I knew someone named Trixie O’Rear.
In 1996 the FBI investigator at the Altanta Olympics bombing was Woody Johnson.
I keep hoping to meet someone named Ophelia Butts or The Reverend Aloysius Furbearin Hair-pie.
I related in another thread that during a recent genealogy search for the ancestors of my nephew’s wife, I ran across Rhoda Lucky Butts. Lucky was a given name, not a nickname.
I was reading a recent issue of Wired magazine and they had a spread about “How Nestle Drumsticks are made” and the plant manager for the plant where Drumsticks are made is named Buttons Coleman.
I met a woman named Apocalypsis. I can’t imagine naming a tiny baby that.
Thuth in advertising!
I see hundreds of names each day. Today’s that’s-gotta-be-fake name was “Eliza Doolittle.” Not long ago there’s was “Bonnie Parker.”
This was their fifth child, I assume?
mmm
This wasn’t that recently, but Oliver Twist Williams jacked the Bank of America in my town.
I felt a particular pang of sympathy for how school must have played out for the woman with the last name of Porn. And a curiosity for why she didn’t change it when she worked for a Fortune 50 company.
Ran across an Indian fellow with the first name of Surender.
Two of the most unusually named people I’ve met both had surnames-as-first-names: Sagan and Dallow. Not things I’d ever choose to name baby girls, but once upon a time their respective parents apparently felt differently.
I assume foreign names don’t count. Because my wife teaches in an elementary school in a neighborhood with a lot of immigrants from India, and the names of the Indian kids – well, to English speaking ears one is more bizarre than than the next.
There’s a Chinese person at work with the first name “Fenwicks”. “Fenwick” would be an unusual first name, but multiple Fenwicks?
