Shoot. If my last name was Crockett..there is no way I would not name him Davy. He'd be the coolest kid on the block.

There is still the guy in Austin, Tx back in the 80’s in the phone book named Henader Titzoff. Found that funny as a kid.

I knew a woman named Smooch Riley, her real name. Apparently her Dad used to call her mother "smooch" as a term of endearment, and they decided to name their daughter Smooch.

I'm a Richard, but go by Dick - and yes, I've heard all the lame-ass jokes for, oh, about 70 years.

But I bet you aren’t a Dick Chop or Dick Head…lol.

Today I had a case with a person with the name Slocum. I had to verify it as I thought it was a joke. Funny with timing of this thread.

Man, then to have a slocum center! Sir, but I am here about my bones!

I worked with a guy named Dick Rasch (silent "c"). He was not married, and I never heard of him having a girlfriend, or even a date for that matter.

I worked in a Pontiac dealership, one customer’s first name was Hiawatha.

Girl in the Navy - Misty Fields.

Another at work - first name is Breezy.

Saw Gessica last week. Didn’t know which G sound it was supposed to be but I knew it was wrong either way.

'Dick Aileron'? Sure, it's an unusual family name, but I've seen odder that than.

Many moons ago, my US Exchange SNCO was Staff Sergeant Dwyle K Flunt. He'd legally changed his name to that of his bride, his original name being Guaq , pr. GWACK, and figured that he'd endured enough of his life trying to explain it to people, let alone how to pronounce it...

Ah, Mrs tac has just reminded me of a Belgian Warrant Officer I used to work with, by the name of Etienne Voncq, pr. VONK.

My own great-great grandfather was Dieudonné Hypolite Boniface-Massaud, so I'm really not in any position to throw 'name-stones', she added.
