I spent a couple of months being teased about my surname. Which was Robinson FFS. Children will pick on anything, it doesn't have to make sense.

I know someone named Mike Hunt. I keep thinking, "why, would they do it?"

My cousin was seriously considering naming his son Michael Hawk....
Similar to Mike Hunt

Perhaps one of these days parents will learn to follow the Internet practice of letting kids choose their own names and change them at will. Would I have picked sweetwater? Probably not. I do have another name I use in most other sites and have been seriously considering making it my legal name. My parents would hate it, but it would make a nice turnabout.

Yeah, I knew a girl in high school named Amanda Touch. That ended up being great fun when my friends started dating her.
I guess this one's hearsay, but one of my friends works in delivery rooms. One woman had twins and hadn't thought of names for them yet. So she looked over at her dinner tray and brilliantly came up with the names LeMonjelo and Oronjelo (I'm guessing at the spelling, I'm sure there's probably at least three apostrophes in each name). |

That totally reminds me of being in the Army... there was this MSG who was African-American, and his last name was "Negrow".... I just called him by title whenever I had to address him.... most terrifying time of my LIFE. |

And did I mention my HS principals' name was Seymor Hyman?
True! And no, his parents were NOT Gynocologists.

So either she was lying, or as usual, people put everything they can think of on Snopes. Either way, I don't really care. I said it was hearsay, so congratulations on making me look like an idiot or whatever, I'll go put myself in the corner now.

They show Long Dong as an urban Legend. I really knew someone with that name.
