Great last names

[OfficeSlug]

Guy called yesterday for one of our salespeople.


Last name: Dickhouse.



I guess because Brothel was taken.

Over five years of taking names and numbers, I've had:

Harold Wiener
Joe Gibbs
Ding Muo Duong (when I first saw it, I pronounced it as 'Ding Dong')
George Washington

I have a few old copies of Reader's Digest, which I've been re-reading recently. Just this morning, I started reading one from June of 1984.

One contributor, to the Campus Comedy feature, was named Hugo I. Wiener.

Although it's not uncommon for contributors to include their middle initial, I wonder if Huge old Hugo did so to make the funniness of his name not quite as obvious.

I promise if I had the opportunity to be represented in government by a guy named Harry Baals, I'd pull the lever (hee!) for him in every election.

Even after his death.

I know someone whose maiden name was Martini; she was first introduced to her husband by a lady by the name of Champagne

[Kal]

Had two in one day on Friday. Mr Manlove, and yes, he was married, and Mr Mycock, first name Roger. With some names you have to wonder if their parents actually liked kids, and how the hell they survived school.

I once had a semi-regular customer whose loyalty card read "Prof. J. Moriarty". I spent the rest of my time with that company on the lookout for her nemesis S. Holmes - without success

There was a "Dick Sweat" As a weather man in lower new hampshire when I was a kid. Though my favorite was probably the last name Cakebread that I caught off a credit card once.

Once a coworker showed me the last name of a customer who called to place something on hold.

The customer's last name was Deathrage.
We both agreed that that was the most awesome sounding last name someone could have.

If that's not a last name that he had it legally changed to, that is awesome.

Still awesome if it is a legally-changed-to name, just less so.

If that guy isn't in a metal band, he should be, with a name like that.

[BrenDAnn]

Hmm....There's a Dick, and a Hiscocks in my customer base. I think the one The Bookseller In Black mentioned, Deathrage, is the best though!

[JustaCashier]

BrenDAnn's post just reminded me of a law firm that was in a building where I was the parking garage manager around 20 years ago; [Name], [Name], Waldo, & Hiscock. (Pronounced "hiss", of course!)



ETA: On a whim, I just Googled the law firm name, which triggered a memory.

The firm had dropped Waldo and his, well you know, in about 1981, two years before I even started with the parking company, and around six years before I started at that location.

In the early '80's, I was a delivery driver for a blueprinting company, and that firm was one of our fairly regular customers. I now recall our company dispatcher (in his '50's at the time, OLD!), chuckling at Waldo and his, well.....
