I started a new job today and two of the other newbies names were Dung and Dang. All day, trapped in a small room watching endless policy videos and listening to lectures, I decided, when Dang was born his parent's were quite impressed (Look at the size of that kid, DANG!) and Dung's sadly, were less than thrilled. I knew a pair of brother's when I was in the Army named Jon and Pete Battle.
What odd names have you come across in real life?
Not celebs, few can beat Ralph Lauren's real name...Lifschitz...
My dad swears he knew a guy named Schithouse, but, something makes me doubt that...

Heido Ho worked out of our Hong Kong office. There was also a Fanki Tong, which always made me think of the disco hit "Won't you take me to, Fanki Tong."

When I was in the Army I once saw a Private Seargant.

As an army civilian at USMA I shared an office with Major Miner (unfortunately, not Major Minor).

At another school I had a student from S. America whose first name was Colonel.

Let's see... Rabbi Pastor was the rabbi at the synagogue my family attended when I was kid, and Rabbi Cantor taught religious school at the synagogue my family attended when I was in high school (for those who don't know, a cantor is the synagogue singer).

Kids I've met over the years in middle school: Philip Morris, Extassy Unique (can't remember her last name, sorry - that's her first and middle names), Dante (female) - more will come to me.

Kerry Michael Hoffman (named for an Irish saint, an archangel, and his Jewish father)

Lee Busch (2 different brand names in one - we went to high school together)

I train with a guy whose last name is Fightmaster. It kind of puts a guy on the spot to have a name like that.

My dad has a Sgt. Major and a Major Sergeant in his first unit, & when he was in Boot, there were two other guys with last names Shirley and Kaye (our last name is Judy), & apparently "the three ladies" were "invited" to do a lot of pushups. My grandmother said she knew an Ima Hogg where she grew up back east.
I knew a girl named Krystal Ball in school.

I went to school with James Bond. He went by Jim.

My wife knew a family with the last name of "Crapushets" (I'm not sure how it was spelled.)

I did athletics with a guy named Slobadan, usually shortened to Slob. But the really odd thing was his sister was named Slobadanka. The cruel things parents do to children.
