A guy I used to work with had an obituary for a woman named Edna May Swallow-Cox taped to the side of his filing cabinet. He didn’t know her, he just clipped it because he thought the name was hilarious.
My cousin’s name is Marc Anthony. When I first heard of THE Antony, I thought it referred to said cousin.
My uncle, Dick Hunger, passed down his name…
I have a friend who’s a junior high science teacher. While he was in school, he talked about changing his last name (Cox) because of the age group he’d be teaching. I helpfully suggested Dix as his new name. He didn’t go for it.
My church has three generations of guys with the same name (John Lastname, Sr., Jr., and III). I’m debating whether or not I should take the Jr. (who is my age) aside and ask if he ever plans to vacation in England. And if he is, I’ll be forced to strongly suggest that he start practicing a new form of address for his young son. Because he calls his son by his first and middle names:
John Thomas
I used to work with a Dick Lust, who likewise named his son “Richard.”
Back when I was in high school, there was a girl with the last name Leer, first name Crystal, and middle name of Chanda…

I knew someone called Friday Orji once. Never found out if he lived up to his name, though.
When I first started working I came across the name Outerbridge Horsey and thought someone was putting me on. He was the U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia at one point, and just one of many somewhat unusual names that populated the U.S. Foreign Service.
And, the first time I was serving in Korea, two of my local staff were Kim Yu Suk and Kim Kum Soon.
Oooh, it can’t be coincidence, can it?
A friend of mine works in student affairs at a local university, there’s a Lady Diana The on the books. Of course, as universities do, they list surname first:
The, Lady Diana
She claims keeping a straight face is somewhat difficult.
My psychiatrist is called (I shit you not) Dr Brain. Even better, his first name his Paul so he’s Dr P Brain.
I once issued airline tickets to a woman and her daughter.
The woman’s name was Dennisse.
The daughter’s name was Essinned.
I don’t get it?
For some great names, check out the 9 manliest names in the world!
This thread is cracking me up.
When compared to some of the names already posted these are light weight but I knew a Michael Hock and graduated 3 years behind a Justin Case.
Oh and a Professor of physics at the University of Toledo in Ohio is Bernard Bopp. Yep, thats. B. Bopp.
I new a guy named Richard Cocke; he insisted on being called Richard as Dick would “be too damn redundant,” in his own words.
My all time personal favorite name is Mary Never Misses A Shot; an Oglala Sioux woman in South Dakota. My second favorite is Kills With Two Arrows, another Oglala Sioux. Both were good people and I’m glad I got the chance to become acquainted with them.
