Well, for boys, there's always that great English shotgun maker, James Bulcock...Come to think of it I went to college with one Ben Dover--claims his parents didn't have a clue. Governor Hogg of Texas had two daughters, Ima, and Ura. Steve

Well, I've stifled long enough -

When I worked in Corrections, one of the 'regular' inmates was named "Harry" by his mom. Her last name was "Dick" - honestly, not "Dyke".

Some people just don't think when they name their children.

In the city I grew up in there was a Proctologist (hemorrhoid specialist) named Dr. Piles and another Dr. although a GP named Clutterbutt. How would you like to live with that one your entire life.

There is a plastic surgeon practicing in Sydney named Dr Stretch.

An ag pilot I met named Steve Death.

I worked with a bloke whose family name was Dickie. His wife vetoed both Ivor and ophelia.....

On the idiot box a few years ago was a guy who interviewed a woman stating that the child in the pram she was pushing was named, "Pegasus Ezekiel".

Okay, since its going this way....

I had a boss once who's rank and name was Major Organ. He was never quite comfortable with it. In Afghanistan there was a guy named Sergeant Major Smallwood. Being a Sgt Maj his photo was posted at the entrance of the chow hall.

Kinda like Chaos for a boy's name. Or a Pit Bull.

That's okay, there is a chiropractor here named Dr. Mangle. I've heard bad things...

I also know of a fellow named Elvis Presley Wesley. I bet he could make a fortune on Ebay buying and selling old guitars and spangled jumpsuits "owned by Elvis Presley".

Our son was in the U.S. Navy with a fellow who had the last name of "Samples" In the roll call at their graduation, he was called "Seaman Samples". My wife went to the hospital to get her heart checked out and the doctor she saw was named Timothy Heart. There is a Urologist working in Des Moines,Iowa named Doctor Dick, and his real first name is Richard. DikDik?

Girl I went to high school with...Tara Hymen. Her parents seemed normal but clearly couldn't have been.

Before I retired I worked for the Cox newspaper chain as a systems administrator. The Dayton Daily News was part of Cox Ohio. There was a woman in the classified ad department named Angela Dick. Her email address was "adick@coxohio.com".

There was also a librarian at the Springfield Sun in Ohio...her name was "Anita Beaver". That was her married name. Her parents were not at fault. While Angela was a sweet young lady, Anita was an extremely unpleasant person.

Then there was a more mundane but goofy name. Our neighbors daughter was named "Golden Little". A bit odd but nothing awful. She then married a guy named Mike Horn...thus becoming "Golden Horn".

I have personal knowledge of all these folks and they are not urban legend names. Sometimes the English language is just hilarious.

I worked with a guy named Richard Drips.
That's bad (the Dick part).
What's worse is that his Dad had the same name...
( I suffered all my life, you do the same)

Well if you count nick names in this, we had an apprentice named Richard Wahl - his lot ended up calling him 'piss trough'.

My grade 3 teacher's last name was Kuntz. She was the reason for my first strap in elementary school. After that first one, it was a regular occurrence until grade 7. When I was in grade 8, the Principal told me I would end up in jail. I did 20 years on the working side of the bars - LOL.

I forgot my nephew, his name is Phupha which is pronounced poopa.

They didn't understand why I gave him the nickname scoopa.
