(20,232 posts)I had a customer named Tangy Orange. That was her legal name. It was on her credit card and her drivers license.
We have a doctor in Houston named Donald Butts who is a proctologist. I guess if your last name is Butts, and you're going into medicine, you might as well go with it.

(20,232 posts)Technically, "Weiner" would be pronounced "Wine-er" with a long I, but if he's a urologist, he probably just goes by Dr. "Ween-er".
Laffy Kat
(16,391 posts)I think it is pronounced wine-er but he long ago gave up and goes by either.

(65,334 posts)Must be missing something. I don't get how her name fits this category. Because it sounds like "Kardashian"?
The others fit the category but i don't see how her name does.

DFW
(54,476 posts)His name was Buddy Cianci, which in Italian would have been pronounced "CHAN-chee." However, Anglicized, it would have been "see-ANN-see," and so his daughter would have been Nancy-ann-see-ann-see.
*oops, I see Nolabear was way ahead of me!

(6,046 posts)As a memory aid I pair the name John with a toilet bowl,seat up or an image of a guy wandering the streets looking for illicit sex.
Result: I am always able to remember a person nam John as soon as I see his face-but unfortunately always feel uncomfortable shaking his hand.
