Back when I worked retail (I think I've mentioned this before) I had this a black chick as a customer named "Ke'va'ce'yea" Yes...like the drink. I checked her drivers license, and sure enough she wasn't BS'ing. I thought the apostrophes were a nice touch.
Anita Cochran, singer song writer. Edith Head, seen her name in movie and TV credits. Harry Colon, Played for the Lions.
dude i worked with said he worked with a chick whose last name was dick. i was like "that sucks" hes like "im not finsished.....her first name was anita" i laughed in a "your bsing me" manner. he brought in his year book the next day. "Anita Dick" unbelieveable. her parents should be hung.
guy who graduated high school with my brother went by "Monje," it was short for Lemonjello. his mom craved it throughout her pregnancy. nobody made fun of him, dude was large. girl i dated in HS who moved here from Tennessee swore she had twins at her middle school named Gonneria and Syphillis.
worked in a garment factory years ago and we had vietnamese sewers there one of the women was named poon and a man named tang one day one of the managers walked back and said "hey poon , tang can i talk to both of you for a moment. Almost fell on the floor laughing. I always laugh when I hear now lets go down to Jack Arute.
To this day the funniest thing was when i was a kid my best friends stepdad's name was "Dick". I remember being about 11 and his mom walking into the mens church softball team meeting looking confused and the Priest asked "Karen can I help you?" and she said "I'm looking for Dick". The first guy to laugh was the priest. Or his uncle asking his sisters infront of a teacher at a school carnival if they have seen Dick. I yelled out, "they all have". the look on the teachers face was priceless.
i'll tell this story that one of my coworkers told me. She said she was at the DMV at home and heard someone calling the next customer: "Leah, is there a leah here? Leah???" This attitude-y chick then walks up and goes "are you looking for me?" "Are you leah?" "My name is spelled Le-ya, that's not "leah", it's pronounced LeDashYa, can't you read? there's a dash in it!" Le-ya = Ledashya EDIT: upon further research it appears i've been had, this is not an 'original' story at all and more of an urban legend i had never heard of before-- but funny nonetheless source: http://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2009/10/ledasha-legends-and-race-part-one
haha We used to have to sign out bags of ice from the local Iraqi workers and we'd always put names like this... My favorite was Hugh G. Rection
Sadly, that;s one of the more normal names I've seen. True story, back in middle school, there was this girl named Fabuola Surprise.
I've been working for the Census and while enumerating a local jail there was an inmate called Robert Killsahundred. Also, it's a fictional character but the lawyer in Arrested Development, Bob Loblaw is an awesome name.
Had a math teacher in HS named Richard Bonar. You can guess how we pronounced his name behind his back. Truth is he was a good guy and a good teacher but the name was just too much for your average smart *** HS kid to deal with.
A local radio show here used to run spoof adds for a lawyer named claude bawls. Not sure if that's the correct spelling though.
Some of the better names I've seen when I was working in insurance claims. Coral Grothe Theophil Spermon (I was a Fantastic Four fan as a kid and kept on thinking of Johnny Storm's catchcry whenever I saw this name. It was going to be my porn name) John Thomas Lien Bich (we pronounced it LI-'n biCH even though her lawyer insisted it was pronounced leen bik)
a building manager i used to deal with was named Effin Weiner first time he told me i almost bust out laughing in his face, haha... when he left our office we all started cracking up
When I was in the Air Force, we knew a girl named Angie Hyman... Needless to say, everyone called her "Buster." Somewhere in Florida, there is a Pooh Bear. In Arizona, there is a Dormy Torry. ...and I was almost named James (Jim) Locher.
I have a friend named Jim Socks. Also, there was a news reporter who interviewed a man after a hurricane a few years back. His name was Mike Litoris.
