I dated a girl in HS and her sister's name was Summers Eve, of course she was named before the feminine product came out. I worked in the garment industry when I was younger and the head tailor's name was Frank Hamburger. I don't know why his Parents named him Frank with that last name.
Matbe they wanted him to get beat up in school. I had a tenant named Mosche Beerbelly. Never asked him why but he was a good tenant.
There was a guy so dumb in Brooklyn his nickname was Zero. But he was a hangaround.
Oh man, it seems I come from the capital of poorly planned names, some days! "Mason Mason" - yes, let's give our child the same name... twice! After a remarriage they had a second child named Jack Nicholson.... after the movie they watched while the child was conceived.Honestly.
The cousins Suvanuh and Mhahrllha (Marla).. not poor names, but terribly spelled. The classic "Harry Dick" - a friend's father. The sister-sister-sister (etc x6) group of Katarina, Kadarina, Katorina, Kadorina, Kadrina and Katrina.
I guess their parents just liked the name. They also have a brother who's name is completely different - can't remember it at the moment. My friend "Eustacia" - not unique, persay, but a sure struggle from teachers.
And finally, "Michelle Dichelle". Rhyming names make me shake my head. Thank god the girl is engaged.
I have the last name "Fee", I"m sure I could get creative with that one!
My best friend had an aunt named Dora Belle Woodring.
I know someone whose name is Kudeta (same pronunciation as Coup d'état). She was named by her father because during the time she was born, there were consistent Coup d'état threats in our country. And she has a brother named Freedom because finally freedom was achieved when he was born.My brother asked Freedom once (apparently, they were really close before) if he wants to change his name, obviously the answer was yes.
XD What more his sister. I also saw a news one time where a mother named her kids by number so she wouldn't forget.T. T So the eldest would be One, next is Two and so on.
And I also met a lot of Filipinos who named their children by month when they were born. May, April and June sounds normal... but I actually met someone named February.T. T I think those are the craziest name I heard so far... apart from my name.T.
T I actually have a weird/unique name as well and all through my 22 years of existence, I haven't met someone having the same name as I do... of course there could be someone out there in the world but I haven't met anyone yet with the name Jurich Anne. According to my mom, she saw the name 'Jurich' somewhere during her pregnancy days. She just added -Anne later on to make the name sound more feminine.
I grew up with a girl named Candace Korn. She was usually called Candy Korn. Her dad was a school bus driver, and everyone called him Pop Korn.
One of the biggest employers in that county still is Orville Redenbacher's popcorn company! I also once was working at a place and came across two items of paperwork, one after the other, for Flossie Oder and Glossie Herring. I've never met this one, but there is a real, live woman, working on her doctorate, with the name Marijuana Pepsi Jackson.
Her family calls her Pepsi.
Tucker Jolly. He was a brass player in a Quintet that performed at my high school (decades ago - sorry to say) and I have never forgotten his name. What a fabulous start in life to have the last name of Jolly.
And he looked/acted like it too!
I don't know how funny this is, but I always thought it was kind of crazy. I once worked with a guy named Hunter Trapper Fisher. I guess his parents were the outdoors type.
Even without the middle name, Hunter Fisher is still kind of interesting.
My mother used to work with a guy by the name of Olive Branch. Since I am not someone who likes to give one sentence answers, I have included a funny name story: I have a friend from Nigeria (no, he is not a prince with an email account) who had a duaghter about ten years ago. I was walking in the mall one day with him, and his family when a person bent donw to ooggle at his daughter in the stroller.
When he noticed my friedn's accent, he asked, "Did you name her a traditional African name? " My friend replied, "Yes I did. Her name is YeYeYe click click!"
Her name is actually Madeline.
I came across the name Friday. He is my friend and his name is jaison but his dad and mom used to call him friday. , ha ha ha.
, very funny name. , now we too started calling him fry or friday...
Most people simply refuse to believe it when I tell them, but I met a foreign exchange student at my school named Fuk Yuma. In other news, I also once met a man named Sterling Nazelin. Luckily for me, my last name is sooo average - Smith.
I went to college with a guy named Ivor. He worked with my room mate at Disney World where they called him "Ivor the monorail Drivor. " When he helped me edit a video project, I called him "Ivor the editor."
He was a game show host in one of our television production classes. I ran audio on that one, so, over the headsets, I asked the floor manager to get me a mic check from "Ivor the Quizmastor. " After college (he earned the same BA in Radio/Television Communications as I did) he went to work at a travel agency.(KIDS: Thats the sort of jobs that people with R/TV degrees get!) He booked me on a trip to England and a chunnel train ticket and a Eurorail pass.
That was the last time I saw "Ivor the travel arrangor.
OK, my top pick is a first and last name combo, because without the last name, the first name doesn't say anything: I used to work as a student administrative assistant for The Department of Resident Life at The University of Maryland. In the early 1990s, they hired a new Community Director. This person was in charge of the buildings, staff and rooms for 5 buildings totaling approximately 1500 beds where kids slept every night.
Call it lodging facilities if you will. I swear to God, her name was LaQuetta Howard-Johnson. A hair off La Quinta, which may not have even existed then.
She and the Howard Johnson's now in College Park, pictured, likely aren't related.. First name picks:: FEMALE: I was taking three girls out to dinner at a restaurant on The Eastern Shore of Maryland, don't remember what town, perhaps Oxford or Easton, and the waitress came to the table. Her nametag said "Twig. " I said, "That can't really be your name." "Yeah," she said as she rolled her eyes.
"My parents were all hippies and stuff, so they named me Twig. " I wasn't quite sure what to say to this adorable 20-something who looked much more like a Kelly or Jenny. I can't imagine going through a professional career with a name like "Twig.
" I couldn't be married to--or even date a girl named "Twig. " (OK, I was in college--I probably would have overlooked the name because she was really funny and took it with a laugh. She's probably heard it her entire life.
But I had an audience at my table that I could make laugh--and I milked it for all it was worth. ) If I remember correctly, her siblings all had natural names, too, like Leaf (spell if like that instead of Leif and you have to explain it), Owl, all kinds of crap like that. Twenty-one years later, I still remember the conversation.
MALE: A company I worked for did sales of things nationwide--entirely by phone (This may disqualify the name because I've never actually met him, just spoken to him on the phone. ) We weren't a call center--we were a small business with about 7 salespersons who worked the phones to find new clients and take calls from the clients we each had.. Without a doubt, the name I heard around the office most often--a customer in the South--was BABU PATEL.It is very hard to keep a straight face when you say, "Babu's on line one.
I met a girl once named Tuta Lou. I kid you not. That is a cruel joke.
Needless to say, it was a short lived relationship.
I went to high school with a girl named Summer Fields. We weren't that close but her name made me giggle on a number of occasions, especially when I've spent my entire life being teased/hassled/asked questions about my name. Eileen- how do you spell that?
I lean? Do you lean? Depends on the day or how much I've had to drink... What's your last name?
Dover? Anyway! It used to bother me.
Now I just answer with the best answer I can think of at the time!
We have Customer named Eweniqueue - pronounced You-Nee-Qwa. It still baffles my mind why her folks didn't just name her like Lynn or Janet...
All I can say is there was a student named Lasagna in high school where I attended years ago. It's just unfortunate.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
