HA! Actual last name

[derangedperson]

When I worked at Menards, we had a special order come in for a guy with the last name Mandick. God help him if his first name was Harold.

[technical.angel]

Or Harry.

Mr. Zucker

One of my good friend's name is Zucker (well, maiden name. She just got married. I joked that she did it to get to the front of the alphabet cuz now her last name starts with B).

I went to high school with a girl named Hussey.

[Reyneth]

My music teacher (private lessons) through middle and high school was a Mrs. Dick. i love her, she's still a great family friend, but I have to at her son's name.

Phillip Dick.

Oy.

Mr. Evilsizer (do I want to know how one would size evil?)

I dated him a few times, and no, you don't want to know!

Mr. Funk

He was my band instructor in junior high school.

I forgot about this one - a favorite at a gymnastics fan message board I'm on.

Korean gymnast Fuk Yu Tang.

Yes, she does exist. Perfectly nice name in Korean, I'm sure. But to English speakers it's just a little

[ArenaBoy]

A name and a freeway exit number, when given in the form of directions it's funny.

Take Exit 69 on Big Beaver. What were the road planners thinking?

[DarthRetard]

Yep, it's the sox, but Coco is a nickname. Real name is Covelli.

Well, I understand that, but either way, it's how he's gone by in the MLB and 99% of the time.

Like Slash's real name is Saul Hudson, but does anyone call him that anymore?

I'll raise you a Vietnamese restaurant called Lucky Dong.

You think that's bad? Anyone want to guess what section a certain hospital south of Pittsburgh decided to put their sexual harassment info in? Yep, it's in section 69 of their employee manual. Seriously.

Then there's the Strip District in Pittsburgh. Contrary to popular belief, it is *not* where all our nudie bars are. It got its name because it's a long "strip" of land near the river. Originally, most of it was railroad yards and warehouses. Now, most of those warehouses are office space, restaurants, and clubs.

Getting back on topic, I knew a guy named Fook Tu. Bet he took *lots* of crap over that one...

Yes, but only in America. I am sure in his parents' native land, it was a perfectly acceptable name.

Which brings up the question of whether your name might cause people in other countries to giggle. I am pretty sure, for example, that my first name is a word in Haitian, because it might be my imagination, but the cooks at The Bar sure seem amused by my name, and I swear I am constantly hearing them say it when talking to each other in Haitian, and there is no reason they'd be talking about me THAT much.

Of course, since I speak not a word of Haitian, I really couldn't say for certain!

I know! The Beavers! Big Beaver, Beaver Dam, Beaver. Geez! I was on the road with a friend, coming back from Pennsic, and "The Beavers" are a great source of extremely sophmoric humor for us. I say to him, "Hey, man, you need anything in Big Beaver? You wanna stop?"

And without a beat, he deadpans, "No thanks, I saw enough of that at Pennsic."

Can you imagine the cheers down at the local high school: "Gimmee a B! Gimmee an I! Gimmee a G! BiiiiIIIIIIIG BEAVER!!!"

Um Monogram is done with the first inital Larger Last inital middle inital -

I knew a guy back in the Air Force named Peter Richard Cox. His callsign became Tryptych, only because it looked better on his nametag than Trip-Dick.

Ouch! Well, at least he got a cool call-sign out of it.
