Not1worry | Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 11:03 am     I got a chuckle out of that one, Tabby. |
Corriecat | Tuesday, June 03, 2003 - 07:13 pm     My grandparents knew a woman named Bo Peep and a man named Roy Boy. These were their actual names. They also knew a woman named Yvonne but everyone pronounced it Y (like the letter Y) von. Her mother had seen the name and liked it but had never heard how it was pronounced. I went to school with three sisters who were named Celeste, Melody and Lyric. Their father was a musician. |
Sweetbabygirl | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 02:11 pm     When I used to listen to Howard Stern, he was talking about Helen Hunt one day. As a joke, he said that she had a brother named Mike. Now, I didn't get it at all....but after saying both names together a couple of times the joke finally kicked in and I LMAO for a good ten minutes! To this day, I giggle whenever I read a mention of Helen Hunt. |

Abby7 | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 05:30 pm     Sweetbabygirl: An old joke is to have Mike Hunt paged by someone ( at hotel lobby, restaurant). At least that's a story I heard. |
Trishan | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 08:23 pm     Hello all. I went to high school with someone named Trouc Tran. I know a girl named Mina You, & another one Niurka (new yorka) Schlugger, I also know an Armstrong Legg & a Sargent Savage. My cousin's aunt is named Zoila Luna--in Spanish, "Soy la luna" means I am the moon! :-) |
Tabbyking | Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 08:51 pm     the niurka i knew pronounced it 'nearkuh', with the emphasis on 'near'. i have never heard that name before--or--since the one i knew. i only knew her married name, and it wasn't schlugger. her parents had traveled to japan during their honeymoon and heard the name 'niurka' and saved it for her! now i know there is more than one niurka around! |
Trishan | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 12:06 pm     Tabbyking, Niurka is not an uncommon first name in Latin America--the Niurka I mentioned before is Venezuelan (Schlugger's her married name). Also, there's a Cuban soap opera actress named Niurka Marcos & her name's pronounced the way you've heard it! |
Bigd | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 02:18 pm     I know a guy that lives in Georgia and his name is actually Oscar Mier. |
Draheid | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 02:39 pm     How many of you have ever seen the prank in telephone directories of the name "Titzhoff, Henauder......555-1212" ??? I remember someone telling me that it sometimes made it into a published directory and I actually saw it once many years ago. I guess with computers now, it's not as easy to 'sneak' something like that in anymore.  |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 02:56 pm     oops....trying again... |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 02:58 pm     Gee, I wonder how "Mr Jablowme" is doing with his new name these days...?
LOL |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 03:00 pm     Draheid....that one took me a minute to figure out! LOL It reminds me of the (fake, I hope) name: Adolf Oliver Nipples.

Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 04:40 pm     If Penelope Cruz marries Tom Cruise, she'll be Penelope Cruz-Cruise. If Ella Fitzgerald married Darth Vader, she'd be Ella Vader.

Halfunit | Wednesday, July 02, 2003 - 04:12 pm     Kahramm A. Butt is a new doctor a couple of cities away from me. He is advertising on the local cable access channel, and Unit and I busted up laughing when we heard it. And no, he's not a proctologist. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Wednesday, July 02, 2003 - 04:15 pm     I just remembered a good one. Back in 1970 or 1971 I knew a young couple in college.....very hippyish. Their last name was Webb....and they named their new son: Donovan Spider Webb. |
Ophiliasgrandma | Wednesday, July 02, 2003 - 04:29 pm     Here in Portland for years when I'd go a local hospital the intercom was always trolling for Dr. Miracle. Now, that's the doc for me. |
