Teller Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Got some time to waste? Excellent. Pull up a stool and share with us the best funny, odd, or quirky real names you've encountered. Wait! I said "pull UP a stool," not.....nevermind. (Please link to your entries when possible!) I submit: Former Phillipines' church leader, Cardinal Sin. Professor Anil Dik****, Indian Institute of Technology. Unlucky Brits include: Justin Case, Terry Bull, Barb Dwyer and Stan Still. And no links, but in my home town reside Edith and Harry Dick, Bill Derryberry, and down the road in Hagerstown, there is actually a "Dr. Toothman."

Teller Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 How about the plumber Thomas Crapper? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Crapper In this case, the text may be even better than the name: "He did, however, do much to increase the popularity of the toilet, and developed some important related inventions, such as the ball****."

Mr. Sinister Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 What I can never get past in situations like this, is why parents choose to subject their children to a life of shame/embarrasment by giving them these weird names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are unwitting, I'm sure. Or the names don't have the same meaning in one country as they do in another, as in the case of Mr. Dik****. But still...some are just evil, pure and simple.

Bang Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Former Redskins QB Dick Shiner. I actually knew Dick for a while,, we worked together on a sales job for about 6 weeks. He was one HELL of a lot of fun. He had some great stories. Once I was bent over picking up something I dropped, and he slapped his hands right up under my crotch and started barking signals...RED 47! RED 47! right in someone's driveway.. I was laughing pretty hard. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I always had my suspicions why Dick Butkus was so mean. Armand Hammer was a famous rich guy. Dick Trickle was a race car driver.

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I worked for a summer in PG county. One day a girl applied for a job, her name was "Immaculate Little." She was neither. One guy applied, his first name was "Radiant." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Reminds me of a guy I used to work with at the PD, whose name was Robbie Dick. He was also about 6'5''. Right after I started working for the department, my wife and I were out and about and decided to stop by the station and pick up my paycheck. I asked her if she wanted to come in and meet some of the guys. She said she didn't have her makeup on, etc, and would come in another time. I said, "OK, if you don't want to see a six-and-a-half-foot ****, suit yourself." She parked the car and came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I always had my suspicions why Dick Butkus was so mean. When I first heard his name (I was probably 8-9) I thought it was pretty funny, until I saw his highlight clips. That was one bad dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
