I think he was talking about a plant nursery.;)

My good friend had a client in England, with whom he spoke frequently... the fellow's name was "Harry Ramsbottom." I'm glad he wasn't my client, because I'd have temporaily lost my ability to speak or operate the telephone-machine every time he called.

You want to name your daughter something unique?

Susan

That's right, name her Susan. Last year, there were only 550 baby Susans named in the entire USA. Compare that to the 25494 Emilys.

Any babies named "Judas" last year, or the last thousand years?

Other than that Priest kid?

You are correct, I forgot about the kid, but hey, I'm old and entitled to my share of senility.

I never thought it possible; that was till I met Justin,..... Case:D

there are a lot a funny names at my work, sadly enough my short-term memory is gone....but a name i can well remember is my mothers Urbaine Antonia Leonia Cornelia Morren Voila, vraiment catholic! Hèhè

I once knew someone named 'Leaf'. And 'Harmony'. God I hate those pretentious hippy names. No, I hate the pretentious hippy people with those names. Do you think your name has an impact on your personality? Like when people used to be called things like Manic Tree Chopper or Nice Big Smile. I don't know how something like 'Doug' would impact your personality though. I guess you might dig a lot.

Butch: "I'm an American, honey. Our names don't mean shit."
From: Pulp Fiction

Of course, of all the people in the movie, Butch was the one whose name most obviously matched his character.

Are you really a happy little monkey then?

its a coincidence obvious, but funny !! Is catwoman a name because your lovely like a cat or fat like mine? hahaha

I once met a man named Ed Smelstoys. yeah. pronounced just like it looks. smells toys. i had to wonder what 'kind' of toys he smelled. and if his name came from a family profession like smith or wright. i was sitting with another guy i had met, and Ed called. we talked a bit, and when i got off the phone i chuckled. the fella i was sitting with raised an eyebrow at my chuckling, so i said " that was Ed Smelstoys."

so the guy says, " jeez,.... Ed Smelstoys...... I'd have to change my name.........I think it would have to be "Paul Smelstoys"

Because I'm elegant, graceful, sensual, feline, athletic, sharp-witted, arrogant and like being stroked.

hahaaha my gf s name s catlover, that explains a lot with her as well! ; ) , a friend of mine s daughter name is Zoe Ven its dutch, it try translate, euh something like, justin now.... or justin time...u ll get it....

Guy with no arms and no legs waterskiing?

Steal cattle.

Consuelo - No legged, female Mexican

Great names to have paged at the airport:

I.P. Freely (a classic)
Al Coholic
Ben Dover
Oliver Closov (hehe)

Come on Syc, I know you have more to add..LOL. :p

Dr Richard Woodcock teamed up with his friend Mr. M. Bonner Johnson to come up with a slew of psychological tests aimed at evaluating children's abilities.

They call their tests the Woodcock-Johnson.

Lest we forget the two classics:

Mike Hunt and Mike Hawk.

Juan King

Huge and squishy eh?

And sinuously intertwined.

Um...actually, my brother's name is Justin.

Coulda sworn I posted this yesterday...

I knew a girl named "Delicia" once, and she was a real bitch. Whether it was bitterness over the name, I don't know, but I cannot imagine being named something stupid like that and not being angry over it.

Once, in high school, we managed to have "Mike Hawksred" paged over the intercom.

Rho and I heard I.P. Freely paged at BWI airport 4 years ago. Who was the dummy that didn't catch that one? We think my brother did it, but he swears up and down that it wasn't him.

Back in high school, my friends and I called a bowling alley and asked them to page Mike Hunt. The person that answered the phone replied, "Why? Did you lose one?"

I would like to change my surname to Za and name my son Pete.

Pete Za.

I knew a girl named "Delicia" once, and she was a real bitch. Whether it was bitterness over the name, I don't know, but I cannot imagine being named something stupid like that and not being angry over it.

I think their attitude is often derrived from the name they're given. My case study: a girl with "Bootsy" on her birth certificate. Jesus, that girl was bitch.

Syndicated collumn "News of the Weird" has been running a series for years of the idiotic things people with the middle name of "Wayne" find themselves involved with.

I don't think it's causal. It's just that idiots have parents who are also idiots.

That reminds me.

I read a book, and make up a story for my 5 year old daughter every night before bed. I make up various stories, but she hates the stories I try to tell about Dwayne. Dwayne is a naughty child and is always sneaking around behind his parents' backs, doing thing he shouldn't. Of course, he always gets hurt and has to go to the hospital. Playing with knives, cuts off finger. Carelessly goes into busy street, gets run over. Etc.

Whenever I start: "Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Dwayne..." she seriously protests, and won't let me continue the story. So then I make up something about faeries in the woods or something. No, not that kind of faerie, LJ. :)


I hope she never meets a real boy named Dwayne. I would feel sorry for him. I actually chose that name consiously because we have never known anyone named Dwayne.

Any of you guys ever left a note for a colleague asking them to ring back a Mr C Lyon and giving the number of the local zoo (not identified as such, obviously) ...:D

Hardy Johnson, anyone?

when i was a restaurant manager, filling in as host one busy friday night, a kid slipped one by me: Feltersnatch. yup. i heard it as i said it. i had to laugh. "Feltersnatch! party of two.....uh....huh huh"

What kind of resteraunt?
That's quite a career change.

Whenever a friend of mine had to give a name at a restaurant, he would casually say "Bobosovitchsteinstinklehoffenberg" and when they did a double take he would just nod knowingly and say, "Dave."

Check out the submitter's name on this document.

Another winner.

Arr! I be black beard barry mycock! Avast!

I love it when people ask for my name.
"Stanislaskuzava" is my reply.
"Um...... Uh...... Oh jeez........ How do you spell that?"
"It's spelled like it sounds."

I had to make a delivery at a local store one day. The person who placed the order was "Debbie Bubee". So, of course, she had to be a cute clerk in a lingerie store.

Say what you will, but my wife laughs at me every time we go past there.

with an eye patch to boot.

Good ol' one eye.
