Strange names

  1. Yup. Had a sister named Krystal Fogg (which, I guess, leads to frost on the roadways?).

    For a magazine I edit, we just used some stock images from a photographer named Yelena Strokin.

    As far as we know, she's never appeared in, um, a certain, uh, genre of video anywhere.

    Have you ever had two players from different area schools and in different sports with the same names? Just noticed that one last night.

    Had two kids, unrelated, with the same first and last names on the same team! Thank the agate gods they had different middle names.

    We had that same scenario a few years ago with a local boys track team. If I remember right, the kids even ran on the same relay.

    Had that situation once with two basketball players from rival schools from either side of town. The names were spelled the same, and both were stars for their respective teams.
    It was a hoot trying to write the game story when they played each other.

    You should put those images up on opposite walls.

    Then it'll be Strokin to the east and Strokin to the west.

    I've never seen anything like where I live now. We have two kids who play soccer who are named Xavier, but they don't spell it that way. One spells it Xxavier (yes, two Xs) and the other spells it Xzavior. No joke. Then there's another kid who plays soccer named Godgreat Setoh. One of our best football players is Tru'Self Cooper. The one I really went off on a rant about was the two brothers named Cory and Corey. Really? Why confuse everyone?

    One football player in our area spells his name Chyl, pronounced Kyle.
