Funny REAL Names

[Teller]

Got some time to waste? Excellent. Pull up a stool and share with us the best funny, odd, or quirky real names you've encountered. Wait! I said "pull UP a stool," not.....nevermind.

(Please link to your entries when possible!)


I submit:

Former Phillipines' church leader, Cardinal Sin.

Professor Anil Dik****, Indian Institute of Technology.

Unlucky Brits include: Justin Case, Terry Bull, Barb Dwyer and Stan Still.


And no links, but in my home town reside Edith and Harry Dick, Bill Derryberry, and down the road in Hagerstown, there is actually a "Dr. Toothman."

In this case, the text may be even better than the name: "He did, however, do much to increase the popularity of the toilet, and developed some important related inventions, such as the ballcock."

What I can never get past in situations like this, is why parents choose to subject their children to a life of shame/embarrasment by giving them these weird names.

Some of them are unwitting, I'm sure. Or the names don't have the same meaning in one country as they do in another, as in the case of Mr. Dik****. But still...some are just evil, pure and simple.

Here's a great one though-

A friend of mine in college had a girlfriend named Abby Rhodes.

Former Redskins QB Dick Shiner.

I actually knew Dick for a while,, we worked together on a sales job for about 6 weeks. He was one HELL of a lot of fun. He had some great stories.

Once I was bent over picking up something I dropped, and he slapped his hands right up under my crotch and started barking signals...RED 47! RED 47! right in someone's driveway.. I was laughing pretty hard.

I always had my suspicions why Dick Butkus was so mean.

Armand Hammer was a famous rich guy.

Dick Trickle was a race car driver.
