Not a terrible name but I wondered what the hell his parents were thinking.

My oldest brother’s med school classmate’s last name was Doctor. Pretty sure his parents were fans of the Thompson Twins and pushed him hard to pursue the medical career.

There must be over a million Mike Hunts. Paging a guy with that name must be a hoot.

You wouldn't believe how many times this man's drivers license was ran over the police radio over the years.

The comedian posted by synthplayer is funny; he talks about names in the first 6 minutes of his routine.

I worked with a black gal who was really smart and a lot of fun. She said, yeah my friends call all the time and yell me what they are naming their baby. I tell them, “yeah, that is a lovely name, but can they get a job with it?”

Funny, but my sister in law's husband told my about a urologist was Richard Chop. Wonder if it was the same guy.
Employee at work, in a different office, has the last name Head.

My dad's friend goes by Dick & he was a parts manager at a dealership.
His business cards said: Dick - Head of Parts

If he was a doctor in Austin, then that was him. He is famous due to his name, but I was not going to go to him, and didn’t. And yeah his name is officially Richard, but he chooses to go by Dick Chop.

I won’t, but if I ever chose to get a doctorate in criminal justice then I would maybe do it on the correlation of a “unique” spelling of a juvenile’s name and the odds of them being incarcerated. It seems all names I come across are unique spin offs of a normal name or just something strange. I still remember two totally different people with the first name of “Abcde” pronounced “Ab-ce-dee”. How lazy is that?
