I processed a receipt yesterday for Mr. Reed Richards (who, oddly enough, is on the short side and Asian).

The worst one I ever saw was Dikshit Bahl–I didn’t talk to him but a friend did and nearly gave himself a hernia restraining laughter during the call.
I really wonder what the hell Ms Lovie Dinkins’ parents were thinking.
My parents had an insurance agent named Harry Crabb.

[/QUOTE]
Well, his first name is actually just Plaxico, but I knew what you meant. 😉
There’s a lot of weird names among football players, though. My current favourite is [Craphonso Thorpe](http://www.colts.com/sub.cfm?page=bio&player_id=452). As pointed out on that page, it’s pronounced “Crafonzo” (of course).
I’ve submitted this one before in one of these threads: local philanthropist [Harry Hole](http://www.lieutenantgovernor.ab.ca/aoe/2006_hole.cfm).

No good ones recently, so I’ll just have to resubmit Fuch Dat.

There’s also a Anurag Dikshit, whose name was accompanied by pronunciation advice: it’s pronounced “dik sit”. Sure, THAT’S better.
Brandy Alexander
J. Rusty Rust
Dawn Johnson
Willie Dickerson (I dunno. Will he?)

I’ve posted this before, but what the hell! I went to HS with a girl named Charity Muff.
Yep.

When I managed a local pizza joint, one of our drivers was named Michael Hunt. I had a customer call one night, livid, because she got bad service from him, and when she demanded his name he told her.
It took me about 45 minutes of calming reassurance to get her to understand that 1) yes, his name really was Mike Hunt, 2) I was very sorry he was rude, 3) I will admonish him for his rudeness and 4) yes, I will explain to him why he should go by Michael :rolleyes: (even though he was easily in his 40’s at the time).

Oh dear. Yet another reason why I question the sanity of the people naming kids in the region I grew up in. A pair of girls I knew growing up where Starsheika and Zharisma.
I’ve seen worse ones than that while at work (library monkey), but I can’t recall any at the moment.

Last week while selling someone tickets for Bodies, I noticed the name on her credit card:
Dong Wang.
It took every ounce of professionalism I had not to start giggling.
