  • Worked with a Doug Graves. His entire family was similarly named though I don't remember them.

    Weirdest first name I've ever seen was Iphegenia though.

    My bf has a member on his paintball team years ago who's last name was Twat (pronounced tat like in tattoo). He used to get pulled from the paintball matches till he pulled out his drivers license to prove it was his name and he wasn't just being crude. lol

    • A customer sometime back. Didn't get a spelling but sounded like Prick, and boy did he do his best to live up to the name.

      • In various work places, had these names

        A R Dick (middle name was Richard)
        G Smallwood
        I Fullalove
        A Mann
        Dr P Wood
        Truluv
        Richard Drew

        I know there were more, just can't think of them.

        The middle names of one clients kids were Shining Rainbow, Summer Meadow, Bubbling Brook and I can't remember the 4th kids now. Yep they were total hippies. But the kids did have ok first names.

            That, at least, makes sense ^_^ Give the kids a more "standard" first name, use the middle name for the weirdness, and let the kid choose which one to use in public.

            I have met kids named Sunshine and Rainbow before, tho.

                His parents must have really hated him. He was only in his early thirties too.

                  • Customer name:
                    Mei Mei Mei Mei (I'm glad I didn't have to talk to this one, just saw the name come up in a review of customer accounts)

                    Anne L. Reddy (i.e. "Anal Ready"?) Seriously, we had to avoid chuckling when we saw the name.

                    • I was in the Air Force many moons ago and had a supervisor named Morgan C. Morgan. And there's a doctor in the area with the last name of Ng. Have no idea how it's pronounced.

                        I believe it's pronounced "Eng" or something close to it, and that it's Vietnamese in origin.

                          My sister had a friend-- born on the same day as her-- whose last name was Ng. They pronounced it "Ing."

                            • A guy named Kelly Green gave a talk at a church I visited, once. According to him, the story behind the name was, his parents knew a couple named Brown who were having a daughter, and somebody suggested that if they named their son Kelly Green, the other would name their daughter Coco Brown. And for some unfathomable reason, both parents went for it.

                              • I knew a salesman with the name of Octavian Bastion Ware.... And he went by O.B. Ware. Do you know how hard it is to convince a customer that he isn't the one to watch out for?!
