My sister told me once that she knew a girl in college named "Mary Christmas". I've also heard of "Sterling Silver". Several years ago, my mom met in Maine at an Aikido dojo a large man whose first name is "Mayweather". That guy probably had to defend his name growing up.

Since my name is Robyn I can have a few interesting name combinations. Considering we hope to marry someday, I'm glad my boyfriend's last name isn't "Hood" or "Banks". :duh:

Robyn :wink1:

My wife and many Mandarin speaking Chinese think the name Vandam is strange. It is very similar in pronunciation to something in Mandarin that means "all gone" or "all dead"

She actually thinks Vandam Street in Manhattan is a very strange name for a street

At my company, a customer on a list had the name of Phat D. Ong.

A teacher I know had a student by the name of Nosmo King.

He says the parents actually got it from a sign in the hospital.

The pharmacist (he's 24yrs old) at the local drug store's name is Hung. "Hi, I'm Hung..."
Well that and the nice salary should work pretty good for him...

There was a surgeon in Worcester Mass named Butcher. Just think of that one as your on the OR bed and hear Dr Butcher will be the surgeon today.

I know an E.E. prof. named Dr. Voltmer.

 

[Whitebelt]

There are some great names on the masters in my system. Theres Sifu Pace, Sifu Fox and Sifu Leopard (I'n not sure how you are meant to spell that).

Also when I was in hospital recently I met a doctor named Dr Payne.

I had an ESL kid in class whose first name was shi-thead, prounounced shi-theed.

A friend went to the Dr. to inquire about getting a vascectomy and the urologist he met was Dr. Chopp.

In the paper, the birth section listed a new baby boy with the name Jack Hoff.

A few weeks later, a wedding announcement gave the hyphenated name Swallows-Cox.

And a guy I know at Fort Gordon was PFC Sample. There is a reason he went Army and not Navy.
