This reminds me of Boutros Boutros-Ghali, a name that always made me chuckle.
But he was Egyptian, and apparently it’s common in Arab cultures for someone to have (or at least use) the same first and last name. This was pointed out some years ago, regarding Sirhan Sirhan, after he shot Robert Kennedy.
I didn’t know that, thanks for fighting ignorance.
Always enjoyed Jeff Feagles as the punter for the Eagles.
That’s the NFL team, not the band, smartasses.
My mother had a cousin named Lawrence Hokenberry. He married Mary Sue Thornton.
I only met them once, but I remember laughing my 8 year old ass off at Mary and Larry Hockenberry.
Boutros = Peter
Anyway, I guess he was named after his grandfather Boutros Ghali, son of Ghali Nayruz. His father was Yusuf Boutros Ghali.
But we’re talking about a Copt, and I would not automatically assume a Copt has an Arab identity.
Lipshitz is a fairly common name. I knew a kid with that last name when I was a child. He was pretty weird even then, the name couldn’t have been much help later in life.
I remember a Greek fellow by the name of Thmeter Peter Eliogram. There was also a gym teacher in Maryland with the name Argyle Stocks.
The name of the guy who wrote Entrance of the Gladiators is Julius Fučík . Don’t ask me how that’s pronounced.
I guess foo-chick.
Joe Walsh hands off to Glenn Frey, who runs 50 yards for a touchdown!
Thor Hyerdahl was briefly famous awhile back.
In the 1970s, the Cleveland Browns had a wide receiver named Fair Hooker. (Full name, according to Pro Football Reference: Fair A. Hooker, Jr.)
Ralph Lifshitz must have agreed with that.
Your post reminded me of an Oklahoma politician named Larry Derryberry. I have relatives in the Tulsa area and would hear the name while watching the news during visits. This was in the 70s when he was the state Attorney General.
Although their individual surnames were not especially unusual, paired together as partners of an oral surgery center they raised eyebrows.
Dr. Savage and Dr. Slaughter.
Went to highschool with a Peter Forskin and a Rainbow Fan.
One of my textbooks was previously owned by a “Shitpan.”
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Which one DrDeth?
Peter Forskin,
Shitpan, or
Rainbow Fan?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I’m guessing 
Fan. You have always seemed too nice for the other two. Not that I’m impugning foreskins. Some of my favorite people have them or had.
