I forgot to mention that there was a Tin Kan Hung in the neighborhood where I grew up. I never met him or his kids, though. If he had a son, they should have called him Will. LOL.
There's a young woman at work named Serenity. Her parents could not have anticipated that advent of adult diapers bearing the same name! We had a Miracle at work, as well -- a surprise menopause child. Another lady at work's middle name is Akita (she's in her 40s, interestingly enough).

yeah...
What are the **** for please??? Even just a couple of letters to clue us if you can't type all the letters with spaces...
My partner thought it would be a good idea (tongue in cheek) to call a boy Mister or Sir...
then he would always be (if his surname was, say, McKenna)
Mr. McKenna, or Sir McKenna

Ok...I just spoke to one of our agents named Shauna. Spelled Shauna. Pronounced "Shaw-Una" (the Una part sounds like Uno but with an A).
I don't get it. Why??

Eons ago when I was an x-ray tech in training, I had to rotate through the local children's hospital. The office staff there kept a list of "famous people" that came through. Mister and Sir were on the list. Originally Posted by RoadRaven

We actually had a Dr. Love at the hospital, but my favorite was the orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Propsom (actually pronounced as in he props 'em up).
