Your doctor picked the perfect profession. It makes his name 80X cooler. Haha... :)

My best friend's high school teacher's name is Cherrypea. It's odd and kind of endearing, actually. She is the nicest person ever.

I had a chinese student phone me and her name sounded like Meat Pie.

[milagro75.livejournal.com]

I have definitely encountered some interesting names here at work, of which I can't really think of right now.

How are you feeling today?

I went to school with a guy from South Africa called Savvas Evercamedes

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

that is a cool name.

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

I dunno - you really can't get more interesting than "Keziah" ;)

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

I used to sell to a guy called Vartan Sarkissien, I love that name, reminds me of Sardo Numspar from Golden Child or some Cardassian name from Star TRek.

My friend names her baby son, Arkanum Roland White Argyle. Thank the gods she calls him Ari for short.

I once taught a girl called Summer Ouse. (Say it out loud.) Makes you wonder about the parents... dunnit?

[patchworld.livejournal.com]

Some gipsies called their children Golden, Silver and Princess. My husband met a Chinese student, whose name was "Hui", in my language it means "penis".

My mother probably wins at life for this one, having been a NYC public high school teacher for 36 years. She had a girl named U Bich (really), several Spanish kids with names like Francisco Francisco, a kid named Audi, and, in the teach-teachers class she does now at Touro "College," she had a guy named Osama. Also, a large collection of the infamous my-parents-can't-speak-English Males (that's Mal-AY) and Females (feh-MAHL-ay).

We have this super great guy that works as a driver at my job whose name is Fokhur. Of course his name gets butchered in pronunciation but most have settled on calling him "Focker". Best part of his name is that his last name starts with a U so his initials are F.U. I love that!

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

Ayoub lol. Beyond that I knew a guy in the navy named Rafael Ocello. I love saying it. It made me feel like the Godfather:)

In college, a friend of a friend's last name was Dickgraber.

She *insisted* that it was pronouced 'deh-grey-ber' but ummmm...Dick Grabber?! hahaha!

[mussare.livejournal.com]

One of my best clients at a former job was Mr. LeBastard :D

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

Some of my students have last names that I really struggle to pronounce. But the most different of names I have run into here is Lizarragao (it's a surname).

[jovi-diva.livejournal.com]

My sister used to work with a gal we called Buffy and I always thought it was just a nickname and it WAS, but it was derived from her real full name...Buffington. Buffington...how do you name your girl Buffington?

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

My name is Orenthal. (named after O.J. Simpson).

I have an uncle named Julius Cecil (which is probably the hick attempt at Julius Caesar) and another uncle named Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

So my family's names are interesting.

[shamrocks-13.livejournal.com]

My cousins name is Jesse James and my friends name is James Dean.

[melissa-maples.livejournal.com]

I really like the name Orenthal... and you're probably the world's only chance to bring some respect to the name. :-)

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

I actually know a Miss Mary Mack.

[mybeautifulwars]

Oh geez now that is going to be stuck in my head all day long.

Our local meteorologist's name is Skip Waters, which I've always liked.

I went to high school with a girl named Liberty Justice Shubert, and her siblings were Benjamin Franklin Shubert and Chastity Freedom Shubert.

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

Besides the usual unfortunates with names like Harry Bud (or Butts), there are the pagan community names (Ariana Spiderwoman, Rhianna, the many Merlins, etc.), the BDSM community (Lord Frost, Lady Arabella, etc.), the Faire community (Gelf, Cobalt, Gumby, etc.), and the unforgettable internet (look, I'm fox_bard! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!).

And this is all individual. We're not even talking about the group names and affiliations.

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Like, for example, Jim Darkmagic?

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And Orcus. But that's D&D and not ::fake puff up:: REAL LIFE! Like Renaissance Festival. LMAO!

There is a guy in our phonebook, at least a few years back, and his name was Amos Twat.

And my brother in law's ex last name was Wachter.

And my brother's girlfriend's real name is Lulu.

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Oh, and almost every one of my family in Brazil. I have an aunt named Lux-Coeli (lukes-SELL-ee), my great grand mothers were Manoela, Francisca, Antonica and Eudoxia(EH-oo-DOKS-ee-ah).

[jeannekins.livejournal.com]

Wasn't that a name in a movie too? I think it was, though I don't recall what movie...
