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.

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

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.

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.
