  • When I was working on a helpdesk, we had a few European clients. One of these, who I never spoke to myself, was called Nelly Bongers.

    • Had a caller today whose last name is Bratt. She was kind of an EW.

      • A chap in the British Navy whose last name is Nelson. I said to my coworker that he couldn't have gone into any other branch with a name like that!

        • I've also gotten a lot of fun names. An ad I saw for Lawrence Lawrence the lawyer was one. There was also a family with the last name "Horr" that entertained me and my coworker for a solid 30 minutes with all ridiculous nicknames they must've gotten growing up.

          • Not a last name, but a relative. Nobody knew him as anything other than L.D..When he passed his full name was discovered. His legal, christian name was Lovey Dovey!
            What's going on? Where are we going? And why are we in this hand-basket!?!

            • My newest coworker is a name that's been mentioned here: Crystal Ball.

              I once hooked up with a girl named Kim Love. That was an interesting one night stand.

                Also, my kindergarten teacher's name was Mrs. Hyman.
                Well, maybe that's why she's a Kinder-teacher rather than dealing with older kids. At least this way, only the *parents* are likely to get the unintentional "joke". In high school in particular, she'd never hear the end of it >_<

                • In Western NY in a bunch of tiny towns, there are a bunch of funeral homes all named after the family that owns them. Therefore, there are funeral homes all over western New York with a large sign out front that says "Amigone".

                  They swear it's not pronounced the way it looks.

                    Could very well be!! (BTW, she's probably long dead by now...this was 1973-1974 and she was old even then...)

                      Heh. That reminds me of my old KG teacher...I was in Kindergarten class B, and the teacher's name was Ms Bernos...for ages I figured that that meant that my section's full name was "Kindergarten Bernos" >_>

                      • I probably posted this already...

                        But I went to high school with a James Kirk.

                        If I marry current b/f, i'll be Jennifer Hudson.

                        I like to tell people I'm looking forward to being a famous actress.

                            There's another in the area that's called Wentland, which is definitely very amusing when paired with Amigone

                            • The best last names I've seen this week:
                              Bowser
                              Baraka
                              Purple

                              And I've still got tomorrow.
                              It makes sense.
