Really bad names

[Smasher_Sloan]

I went to HS with a guy named Mike Hunt.

I heard him paged at a stadium once!

He was also paged in Porky's

He's also a columnist for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Lady from my mom's hometown; Ima Haug.

George W. Bush

Copy desker at my former paper was Jack Schicht. What? Never heard of him? Well, then you don't know...

Now, I'm sure parents named him John, and he chose Jack, but... still.

Was watching an episode of The Price is Right many years ago. Dude with the last name Kill gets down to contestant's row and is wearing a college sweatshirt. Bob Barker asks him what he's studying, and he says he's going to be a doctor -- Dr. Kill. Left Bob speechless.

My wife, who's a nurse, used to work with a surgeon named Dr. Scarr.

There's a high school teacher Richard Small. I'm willing to bet the house the students that don't like him call him ****.

Stopped at a Tim Hortons after a road game a few months back and the girl pouring the coffee was named Soda Pop. Showed us her birth certificate to prove it.

My sister still cannot believe this guy's name is a homonym with simian.

 

[Pencil Dick]

Local real estate attorney who handled the closing on our first home in town is Richard ****.

Honestly.

Um, there's a high school in Chicago named Simeon. It's not that uncommon a name.

There is a high school in Western Pennsylvania called Western Beaver with a mascot of the Golden Beaver.

There are 1000s of potential names and mascots. Many times they are better than the one you already have.

Well, it's a cool "Outsiders" reference. Interesting that she's carries her birth certificate around.

**** Armey ...

Oh, and remember the basketball-playing brothers Scientific and Majestic Mapp?

I used to run a one-hour photo place in the mall, and at the yogurt shop around the corner, the assistant manager was Ginger Snapp. Said she loved her name and was going to keep it when she got married.

The youngest Mapp brother, Shallah, was a summer intern at my old shop.

Did you go to UVa?

What about the brother of Richmond's favorite Olympian, Queen Harrison? His name is God Goldin Zig Zag Zig Allah (Harrison, presumably). I love that the parents went back for the second "Zig".

Had a colleague whose name was Kelly Price. Married John Kelly and changed her name to Kelly Kelly.

After the first time you didn't think anything of it.
