I just thought of another one that was the Director of Materials at a customer of mine. His name is Richard W. Head. I'll see if I can scan it in.

Any chance the customer is Alstom or TTA? See my post, #46 above.

BV you jinxed me by bumping this thread.
Last night I had to go this big Christmas party that my wife was singing at, so I was sitting up front near the mic.
Anyway, this old real estate agent woman who had been with the company for 30 years was retiring, so she gets up and is making a serious speech. She starts naming the brokers who helped her out so much when she got started.
I take a big gulp of ice water, and I then I hear her say:

Next, I worked with Rose Crotch.

I spit water all over my table.
Thanks.

I had a P.E teacher in High School named "coach Cumming." I can still hear it: Coach Cumming is coming...

I went to school with a girl named Dusty Cox, always thought that was funny. Also, on the way up the Raliegh, on US 1, there is an off ramp to a road called Colon Road. I haven't tried to see where that road goes yet.

I'd be willing to bet that road stays muddy most of the time.

Back from the dead thread...

Got some pictures from around the office, couldn't resist sharing these nice names with you. What were their parents thinking?

 

[Broken_Spoke]

When I was growing up the folks across the street were named Wewe the wifes name was Shasta

 

[jimmydean]

My eye doctor growing up:
Melvin P. Brain

If you drop the middle initial, it's not as funny. But for some reason he had it on EVERYTHING.

Also, my high school coach was Mr. Foot. He had a fake left foot and used to joke his name was Mr. Feet back in the day.

<edit> My friend Danny's nickname was "four" growing up. He was the 4th son, the oldest son was Juan. Bad, I know, but we were like 8 when it started and just stuck.

The last job I worked at we had vendor named Harry Beaver.

Needless to say there were many interoffice jokes going around about him...

But I think that Harry Nutzack guy that Tenchiro mentioned is priceless :biggrin:

 

[Spero]

Some of these are pretty popular - I know a Dr. Payne, had a science teacher with the middle and last names Harry and Calk, a kid named Yu Suk, and a family of Boners.

[manimal]

I don't know LJ Hooker's first name, but I saw this car frequently while in Wanaka, New Zealand. It was usually parked down the street from a trailhead. LJ Hooker is a real estate agent, fwiw.

I didn't read this entire thread but I have a more than worthy nomination... I had a former co-worker named after her father... One of those cheese female-version-of-a-male-name things. Her dad was a guide named Woody... He was gracious enough to name her Woodrina. All was dandy until she married a man with the surname dick. The kicker is that the man's parents must have been retarded because they named him Richard with that family name. The result... Woody Dick married to Double Dick. No ****ting you.

Also, on the way up the Raliegh, on US 1, there is an off ramp to a road called Colon Road. I haven't tried to see where that road goes yet.

It connects to the Hershey Highway of course.

I worked room service back in the 80's at Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, AZ. We would get a list of visitors that would have to pay cash for their order instead of signing to their room. One day, this name showed up--

Cocke, Bendt

Last name first, so you can imagine the laughter going on in the office......




Of course, there was also my nickname growing up through the school years. My last name is "Lester", with the nickname "MO". Funniest thing is that my grandma (on my dad's side, no less) had a t-shirt custom made for me that said "MO" on it. Thanks, Grandma!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Broken_Spoke]

I work with a girl named Wakuna.
