I can't imagine what the thid name would be if they added a named parther.

they never heard the end of it, and it has since been renamed.

There are ads on the telly over here at the moment for Naval Seaman Officers....I know the Navy has a glorious tradition, but I'm not sure whether saying that job title out loud in an advert is all that conducive to recruitment.

James.

I have a friend named Dick Beaune.

Many years ago when I worked for the INS and was handling Citizenship applications a guy walked in and the first words out of his mouth was I want to change my name. As I recall he was from Poland and his first name was Jerko.

Jerker is not an uncommon name in Sweden. Other names from Scandinavia which might amuse our English speaking friends are Odd, Urban and Love.

I read somewhere (I think Freakonomics) about a man who named his first son Winner and then had a second son, who was named Loser. Winner went on to become a petty criminal going in and out of jail, Loser became a fireman (or possibly police) and called Lou by his coworkers.

Frank Zappa named his daughter Moon Unit.



Moon Unit Zappa.....you'd HAVE to grow up hard with that one.

....she turned out nice, though!

-whatever

-Lou

EDIT: I just re-read the original link....Woo Suk Hwang.....wow, I think that one still takes the cake.

And his son Dweezil. Those gotta be up there near the top of the list.

during my bikeride I found another one yesterday. It was on one of those signs in a garden announcing the birth of: "Diesel"

I had a professor for an introductory Physics at UNC-Chapel Hill. His name was Richard Superfine, but he went by Rick for rather obvious reasons. Heh heh.

When I was a paramedic student doing my Labor & Delivery rotations in the hospital we had a young girl who'd just delivered her first (of what is destined to be many I'm afraid) child. Little girl (the baby, not the mother, LOL).

The nurse called up to the front desk to tell the admin person to tell the family that she was fine and they could come see her once the placenta was delivered...

That's right. The next words out of the girl's mouth were (and I kid you not): "That would make a great name!"

Fortunately for little Placenta we were able to discourage her.
