Worst. Name. Ever.
I was on Newsmeat.com researching celebrities' campaign contribution histories, when I came across the documentarian Ken Burns' contributions. Apparently in 1995 he donated $250 to the campaign of Democrat Dick Swett, running for NH senate.

...

DICK SWETT. :crazy:

19. Dick Burns
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 05:33 PM by dolo amber
My old boss's insurance agent. :D

Everytime he'd call the office, he'd be like 'Dick Burns, for Mr. C****** " and I'd have to bite my tongue in half not to say "Wow, does your wife know that?"

edit: Failing that, I always wanted to tell him "They have shots for that, y'know..."

:D

20. Some bad names that don't have dick
or Peter.

There is a proctologist in Houston named Dr. Donald R. Butts. If you don't believe me, look him up in Yahoo Yellow Pages.

My mother had a classmate named Hugh Pugh.

I once had a customer named Tangy Orange. That was her real name. It was on her driver's license and her credit card.

I knew an engineer named Harry Palmer.
