I don't know if those are real, but I know this: if my name were Esther Crapp, I would change it! In fact, if it were Esther, I would change it, lol.

When I worked at Old Dominion University, we had a student named Richard Head, for real. In his senior year, he had a name change.
 
Yes, they are real. These same announcements were among some of the Headlines entries shown on the Jay Leno Tonight Show.

Another one that I've seen is joining between Robin Swallows and Adam Cox.

In the paper it was written Swallows-Cox.
 
I know I shouldn't laugh but it's so hard not to :lol:.

Why is it that despite being the product of millenia of intellectual and cultural development I can still be reduced to paroxisms of chortling by a comedic prat-fall or a stupid or suggestive name? :confused:.

When I worked with NSGA GTMO I would have to call S-2 from time to time and they had a young lady that worked there that would answer the phone. Her last name was Swallows...her rank was Seaman.

An easy choice for their new name would be Budweiser.

I work with a Harold Johnson. He got pissed at me when I called him Harry.

A local news reporter has the name Mikaela Hunt. http://www.nbc4i.com/midwest/cmh/authors.Bio.-content-midwest-cmh-authors-mikaela_hunt.html.html

Fortunally she is very good at what she does.

My first room-mate in college was one Michael Hunt. We roomed together during orientation and decided to keep the arrangement. When I saw the name, I was sure that I had misread it. When I got to the room, I was informed that he was, in fact, who I thought he was.

I told him I was a big fan of his work...
