When my mom married my dad, she became Iona Newhouse.
She always went by her middle name.

You know when you have to enter a New Profile Name at the start of a newly purchased pc game; I have a short list of favourites I draw from, just so I can get on with play:

Ben Dover (already mentioned); Ivor Biggun; Ivor (something I'm not allowed to say, but dogs bury them and there's an R on the end); Hugh Janus; Ivan Ellovanitch and Laika Legova.

There's a guy responsible for a number of very charming stop/go animation kids' shows like "Postman Pat" and "Gran". His name is Ivor Wood. There you go: he's a real unfortunate...

Buddahaid might remember a newspaper columnist in San Francisco named Herb Caen. One of the regular features of his column was strange, but true, names. This is from his Sept. 5, 1996 column:

HERBASIDES: Jim Lundberg tips me that the medical team for a cesarean birth procedure at Kaiser a few days ago was Dr. Coffin, the obstetrician; Dr. Fang, the anesthesiologist, and Dr. Payne, the pediatrician . . .

The particulars on that name shall remain privy.

No. But with a name like that...

In high school we had a great teacher named Mrs. Staples who was expecting, and we kept trying to convince her to name her kid Rusty

One of my mother's friends is named Candy Cane.

Great when you are 6 months old
Awesome if you are a 22 year old stripper
Not so good when you are in your 70's

I used to work with a guy named Jim Wimp. Surprisingly, when he got married he took his wife's last name.

My 12th grade literature teacher and swim team coach name was Mr Mast the funny thing was he was fairly short.

Wolferz · 01-16-15, 06:05 AM

My high school biology teacher is named Janet Jukoff.
The variations abounded.

I've heard of a name called Hugh Jazz.

When you pronounce it, it sounds like "huge ass".

I know a bloke called Mike Hunt and many years ago we were both enjoying a pint in our local of the day when the barmaid answered the phone and shouted out across the bar "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?"

You can imagine the roars of laughter that ensued, added to by the blushing expression on the barmaids face as she realised she was the victim of a practical joke...one of the boys had rang the pub from a public phone box across the street.
