Whoami | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 03:22 pm     This is inspired by some folks talking about last names in the Mr. Personality thread. Rather than hijack that thread, I thought I'd start this... I had a teacher in junior high whose last name was "Reck." She told the class if she were truly evil, she would have named her son Otto. So, what funny names have you come across? |
