was the name of the teller at the bank today. Not such a bad name, but I bet it sucks getting the same set of comments over and over again your entire life.

75. A quick anecdote with another bizarrely transliterated Chinese name |
|
A friend of mine used to work for a county welfare department here in southern California. She helped poor women fill out the forms to get AFDC, food stamps, etc. One woman had lost track of the father of her child. She said she'd only met him once, he fathered the child, and promptly went back home to China.
He told her his name was Thing Deep.

73. Ben Dover - no joke - was my counselor at summer camp. |
|
He had a sister - I'm not joking - named Eileen Dover.
Needless to say, being adolescents, he was always referred to by both names. Ya gotta wonder about the parents.

Daughter of Texas Governor Jim Hogg, philanthropist who helped Houston get some culture in the first part of the 20th century. She was named after the heroine of a romantic poem, lived to be 93 and never married.

Edited on Thu Jun-24-04 01:47 PM by drumwolf
In high school, there was a guy who had the last name "Turdo." Fortunately for him, he was a bit of a tough guy, and he was more than capable of defending himself if he took any shit for his name.
In college, I knew someone whose last name is now spelled "Kourepenos" -- after he legally changed the spelling. Guess what it was before then.
:evilgrin:
And I had a co-worker with the last name Wakoff, who married someone whose last name was Weiner.
No joke, any of these.
ON EDIT: OK, I just realized that I unwittingly made a pun with the last sentence of the first paragraph -- "took any shit for his name" and "Turdo." That was unintentional, I swear.

57. Making matters worse with computers |
|
As a sysadmin I get to see a lot of names go through the torture of login ID creation. Where I work our format is the letter "a" the first 5 letters of the last name and then the first letter of the first name. This can have consequences.
Some interesting names we have generated.

Hi,
This doof lives in the same town as me....he was the lawyer for the people we bought our house from. Our lawywer couldn't stop laughing during the closing...very mature, but it was funny.
Our lawyer asked the guy if he ever had any problems with the "last name first, first name last" issue.
I almost fell on the floor laughing....ten years later I still can't look at him without snickering.
Cheers, Kim
