Following on from the Terrible Name Thread...

I have a friend that had a sister (teacher) with a kid named Brighton Early.

This will probably get pulled and I hope I don't get booted for it.

But my cousins brother in law ...his name is Rusty Cox. Well, his first name is Russell, but they call him Rusty. Nice name growing up with huh? lol

Remember on Porky's when a kid called somewhere and asked for Michael Hunt? They asked the guy to page him....so he did. He got on the loud speaker and asked if anyone has seen "Mike Hunt!"

A former governor of TX Jim Hogg had two daughters Ima and Ura (sp?) horrible!

And the pro football player Dick Buttkis..

There's a couple of family practice docs named Needleman in town ... could only imagine trying to take a child there! (seems there are others w/that name in other areas, too)

I forget what channel but there was a sports reporter named Joe Shortsleeve, seemed like a cartoon character name to me.
Several years ago there was a radio contest on the most unusual name. The winning name was pronouned Pay-ja-may. The mom was asked where she found the name, she replied from the Sears catalog. The name is spelled Pajama.... she named her daughter pajama?
In England there was a girl named Tallulah did the hula in Hawaii (totally true). At age 9 she petitioned the court to change her name. What the heck were her parents smoking??

Edit:
I remembered one more, there is a comedian names Henry Cho (he's hysterical). He tells a story of his highschool friend J.B> Stuart, his parent snamed him initials, the J and B do not stand for anything. So when JB filled out the form for his drivers license he wrote J only, B only. When he got his license it said Jonly Bonly Stuart.

i knew a guy named peter abbott.

what do you call a guy under the bleachers? seymour butts:)

Had a neighbor named Woody Johnson. Woody Johnson.

My elementary school music teachers name was Dick McNutt. Seriously lol.

ROFL!
This is too funny!

Growing up, there was a family with 5 girls.
Their names were: Doe, Rae, Fah, Soh, Lah. (each name spelled that way) But no "Tee" or "Mi."
Yep, really.
They were also a very musical family.

I used to go to a Dr. by the name of Freddy Krueger. =)

...sorry

My husband knew a Dr. Harry Growth---and he was a dermatologist!
My sister married a guy with the last name Cox but neither she nor her sister in law changed to that last name. Her SIL would have been Eden Cox (they both changed to a different last name to avoid this).

I know someone named Randy Guy.

My mom was a nurse and she new this doctor who was a proctologist and his name was Seymour Butts. No kidding!! LOL.....

Then years ago, there was a family with the last name of Bean and they named their son Green.....

Should be a law againist that.....poor kid.

I had a client that signed all of his documents E.A. Poe and for the longest time I was certain the E.A. could not possibly be Edgar Allan - but sure enough that is what it was.

Not a name but kinda funny. My daughters' initials back to back: L.O.S.E.R.S - and I'm not even the one to point that out.

There's a guy in my hometown whose name is Dick Cram. I kid you not.

Years ago, when my cousin was in his residency for medical school in Chicago, some woman named her son Manual Exam. That kid is probably in his 20s now.

There is a local hiking/walking/jogging/biking path near me that is sponsored by local businesses and one of the sponsor signs is for a law firm with a partner whose name is Dickover - yes DICKOVER. Isn't this what most lawyers do to you anyway???

LOL.

My mother's been a OB nurse forever the best she's had to deal with:

Sinephrin (common nasal spray) NyQuil (we all know this one)
Twins named that were pronounced S'Phyllis and G'Nora, but spelled Syphilis and Gonorrhea.
Maphoxin ( an anti-psychotic medication the mother was on at the time)

She also has to deal with parents making up names that they themselves could not spell.

I graduated H.S. with a Penny Nickles.

Girlfriend with the last name of Cunning dated almost married guy with the last name Fox....Cunning Fox...we thought that was funny....

There have been some names...not giving last names...

Russell Brand
Liberty Bell (yes, she currently goes to my son's school)

Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple.
The Olympic winner named her son Diesel

I know of a Justin Case, and I've heard of a Terry Yaki. My friends baby was gonna be Lehanna Dick, but thank God the mom used her last name instead of the dad's!

What do you call a girl with one leg shorter than the other? Ilene

OH my...what a good chuckle to start my day!!!
I Work in a retail situation and deal with hundreds of people everyday...by name. We have some real belly laughs at some of the names that come by us.....
Rosie Cox ( poor little girl...WHY would a Mother do this to a child??)
Harry Peoples
Some poor young boy named... SHAMU!!!!
And the ones that really get me are the ones that are totally unpronouncable...why stick your child with a 6 syllable name that no one outside of your family is going to be able to say?? ( At least not with a straight face..lol)

There's a hockey player with the last name Satan. It's pronounced "Sha tan" but it sure looks like the more common pronunciation on the back of his jersey.

That sounded so ridiculous and I'm a name nerd and study names as a hobby (onomastics) so I'm always curious about things like this. I'm also always on the lookout for urban legend names, like the infamous Jello Twins and the "poor child whose mother hated his father so much she named him Sh!thead and pronounced it Shith-eed" or the recently famous La-a, pronounced Ladasha.

Anyway, imagine my surprise to find this: http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/Foot-specialist-banned-...

I know or have seen Sunny Dee Light, Justin Case, Phillip Wittle Wacker ( consequently he took his wife's LN), Dick Wagner--the list goes on..We were going to name my 2nd son Caleb, and use the Nickname Cal until my husband said oh know we can't do that someone will definitely tease him with 'Cajones' our LN is Jones!

My BIL had an uncle named Dick Hugger.

When I was a kid, we used to crank call, (before caller id) someone named Harry Horney. We found the name in the phone book.

my husband and I were watching a movie the other night and looking at the credits (I always look at the credits out of respect for the people working on the film and because frequently we know them).
anyways, one of the names was Isa Dick. Seriously.
