        This is not a joke.

        I saw a story on TV about two young power lifters that got married. I don't remember the guy's name, but the bride was name Jenna.

        I thought nothing of it until her father showed up, and it showed his last name as Talia.

        My GOD! Jenna Talia. That poor girl.

        I went to school with a Bruce Bohner. Yes, he pronounced it the worst way. And nobody made fun of him. A strong farm boy, with no sense of humor about his name.

        I have a customer with the last name Killbreath. Try not laughing when you read that name out loud.

        Nicholas Cage (A huge comic book fan) named his son Kal-El (Superman's name)

        Cage changed his last name from Coppola (the famous director is his uncle, I think) to Cage, after Luke Cage, a comic book hero.

    When I was in 1st grade I had a substitute teacher who's name was "Jack Weiner".

    When he was introducing himself, the whole class was laughing.

    Now if his middle name would've been "My" it would've been even funnier.

    "Jack my weiner" And yes it was pronounced the way you'd say weiner for penis.

      My daughter was in first grade last year. I do not believe that at that age she would associate "weiner" with anything other than a hotdog. Thus I trust that your class laughed relating the name to food, and not to anything else?

        lol. Maybe some of the kids were thinking hot dog. But I and another boy associated the name with the body part.

        That's why I was laughing. And a boy next to me made the masturbation gesture with his hand. lol

        I'll never forget that day.

        Keep thinking that way, Daddy. If she didn't before she got to school, she's now in an environment that little boys get together and hoot it up, so if she didn't associate it before that - she does now.

          Yes, boys definitely do "hoot it up." I'm afraid that even when I was a little boy, we were already onto all that stuff. I wonder what exactly happens to adults who remember otherwise -- selective amnesia?

          Yeah I know you are both probably right. I guess I just don't want to face that my little girl may already be associating hot dogs with boy parts. But yes, little boys have a way of educating little girls on certain things as I recall as well from my school days.

      True story. Name is pronounced Feh-mal-ly.

      Know how the mother got it?

      She looked at the tag on the thing where they keep the new borns (don't know
      what they're called) and it said "Female <whatever last name was>"

      The stupid mother said "Oh look, they named my baby for me." And she thought it was Feh-mal-ly.

      My wife told me that one. I just had to shake my head in disbelief.

      But it's still not as bad as the jackass parents who named their kid Mary
      Christmas. I think that was another one of my wife's students.

      And then of course there was Charlie Brown and his inviso shield. No wonder
      the kid thought he could make himself invisible, growing up with a name like
      Charlie Brown.

      Parent's can be so cruel.

      That's like a few minor celebrities and sports persons in Australia who shared ownership of a greyhound called Nads. It was called that by design rather than accident though.

    My Grandfather once told me of how the name Tony came about. He told me of a young Italian boy who arrived at Ellis Island and during processing he was asked his name, naturally the boy couldn't understand a word of English so he clammed up and said nothing.

    The processor said speak up so that I can give you a name tag, after getting nowhere he finally decided to just give him a tag that said to new york and wrote it like so "TO NY and so the name Tony was born.

      Reminds me of a story told at Ellis Island, of a man who ended up doing very well in the oil industry in Texas, who eventually came back to New York decades later to visit where he was initially processed. His tag read, "Houston", as his final destination was supposed to be Houston St. in New York, a rather poor area, and instead he had been sent to Texas.

        Bob I believe because his family name is well known in a certain industry in another state.

        I believe "Jim" was in special forces because I've seen him in action. But, he says he has had high level jobs I'm not sure he is/was capable of doing. He says he got them thanks to his government "resume". He's about 65 and retired now. While physically in good condition, not so much mentally as he may have been before I met him.

    I worked with an Indian guy a while ago and his first name had more than 30 letters in it. He always said to just call him "Dean." I do remember the odd occasion when a bank or some place official rang the office and asked for him...or tried to. There weren't many of us who knew his proper name so it would be quite awkward because some would say "we don't have anyone here by that name."
