What's in a name?

My friend here at UCLA told me of a girl he saw at an audition whose name was Sing Ing Ho.

My best friend worked with a girl by the name of Jennifer Ittles. No big deal, right? Well, inevitably her name was shortened to Jen, thereby, making her name Jen Ittles!

My mom swears she went to school with a girl named Venus Hooker...

In CT my roommate knew a guy named Russell Sprouts.

I knew of a doctor whose specialty was surgery and whose last name was

Tagliagambe which translated from Italian to English reads "cuts your leg off".

Out clubbing in San Francisco, met a gal named Billie Eyeball.

Kow Hied and Noble Devotee.

I actually have a cousin who's legal name is "Brain". All the excitement must have hit the dyslexic button.

I worked with a woman whose husband's given name is Cash Register.

I hope you don't have this name, but I knew a family. Named the Risers with their youngest daughter Tara. Tara Riser. Think about it...

My best friend's name is England, her sister's name is Paris, and her brother's name is Rome. England's sister married my brother, Earl. They named their two daughters Persia and Somalia.

I went to school with a girl named Ginger Snapp.

In the high school I go to, there are these three Phillipino guys with the last name Tampon.

I currently work with a woman named Cindy Head-Fedish.

I went to high school with twins named Chip and Dale.

I actually know an Aquanetta, as in the hairspray!

My parents had a gardener whose name was Raincoat.

I had a teacher in school in Nashua, NH, named Mr. Headlicka....the running joke among the students was that his wife's name was Ima (untrue, of course)

My daughter Alice is mildly brain damaged so we didn't believe her the first year she came home and told us that her bus driver was Mrs. Sipi.

My mother had to take her bird to a bird doctor. His name was Doctor Beak.

My mom used to work for a lawyer named Thomas A. Turney.

I go to school with a girl named Kimberly Wimberly.

My uncle happens to be named Frank Frank. And, believe it or not, he was born in a hospital on Frank Street in...you guessed it...Frankfurt, NY!

I work in retail and had the wonderful opportunity to try to keep from laughing when a beautiful Asian woman presented me with her chargecard and I found out her last name was Bumphuc!
