You've GOT to be shitting me!! Names.

Dr. Killem wouldn’t happen to practice with Dr. De’ath, would he? :slight_smile:

(and yes, there is indeed at least one Dr. De’ath out there, who was among my parents graduating class in med school)

I used to work for a guy named Ronald McDonald. He would be about 70 now; much older than the hamburger shill-critter.

I had a customer called Fairley Smart. Could’ve been worse, depending on her choice of husband.

I’m descended from Fanny Leak.

There’s an Esme May May in a nearby town. I know another Esme May, but I don’t know the second one’s middle name.

guilty of working in a call center as well… off the top of my head, Sunshine E. Day. Valid credit report even.

how about a boy named Audrey - but was pronounced Andre? Poor folks didnt know how to spell the name and guessed - or so said “Andre”

I work with Cao Dung.

I attended a lecture in college given by Richard Hertz.

I knew a guy named Kent Clark. We called him Man Super.

A friend of a friend’s first name is Lady and her middle name is Diana. Apparently this is deliberate, as her mother is (or was?) a big admirer. Lady’s sister is named Daisy but no word on whether her middle name is Duck.

My father’s first mother-in-law was born in 1898. To a very royalist family.

Clerk: Surname?

M-i-L: Forster

Clerk: Initials?

M-i-L (proudly): Q Veeee!!!

Clerk (under his breath to my dad): It’s not, is it?

Dad: Yup. It is.

Queen Victoria remained very proud of her name until she died in her nineties. Our Queen Victoria, that is. I don’t think she ever noticed everybody taking the mick.

Er, I read it as “de BRA” you know, woman’s undergarment? :confused: ETA: Nevermind, now that I remember how others say zebra, and know what you call a crosswalk. :o

From a friend: Shaholorondra DiAquinita Jones.

My orthodontist growing up was Dr. Hollar.

I happened to read Jimmy Carter’s childhood memoirs over the Christmas holidays, and he mentioned a prominent family in southeastern Georgia whose last name was Plexico. So I would guess that it’s a family name.

But we still call him Plexiglass in our house. :smiley:

Holy living crap! I almost threw up and passed out from laughter!!!
Anyways, at a photo shoot at a big local event a few months ago I saw a middle-aged gent walk past with a nametag stating he is Jack Plunder. Whata splendid pirate name!!

ALso, something I’ve laughed at for many years now, one of my best friends goes to a dentist named Niel Dicker.

I once had the pleasure of verifying the photo ID for the a very nice woman named Prostitutia.

She seemed fun enough, so yes, we asked why.

Her mother thought it “sounded pretty.”

On the occasion of her second confinement, Mrs M was attended by a charming nurse whose name-badge read “Cruella”. And she said “Yes, really,” when she saw me looking at it. :smiley:

My previous dentist was Dr Screech. You can’t make this stuff up!

or, going with the “royal” theme - Duke, perhaps? Of course, Daisy Duke was a Southerner

I talked to a guy the other day named Dat Ho.

I rented a house once from a guy named Hugh G. Cox.

He fit his name, too.

Ah, I forgot another - my brother had a friend named Harry Van Beest.

We all called him “Mikey.”

My dad went to high school with a guy named Peter Rabbit. He goes by Pete, but still…

This thread has me in tears…

I worked at the transcipts office when I was in college and ran across some bizarre ones. my favorites were:
Margaret Lamb-Slaughter
Ivan Ho
Weiwei Wang
Rainey Summer Day

And of course, on that campus where I worked, was the Hogg Building, named after the family whose children included Ima Hogg. It’s just wrong.
